John McGann Berklee 2-05-08 Monster mando medley pt. 2

[eosdelb]

I love it but the fiddle player went somewhere on his first trip that he couldn't find a ride back from. That will happen from time to time. I aint throwing off! Improvisation has led me down a dead end street before. I'm sure he gets it. He is one hell of a player just for trying something different. All of you are great! John Mcgann you have my respect. Berklee is doing something right!!

It is a privilege to be able to listen to these "crazy smokin' maniacs" performing this 2-part medley. Congrats, Berklee!

wonderful playing by all--who's the fiddler?

That's Nate Leath of Old School Freight Train (they have a CD on Grisman's Acoustic Disc)

tone, drive, depth, almost vocal expressiveness-superb!

what kinda mando is Jacob playing?

[jmcgann00]

Jake and Eric are both playing Rigels. Aren't they amazing?

[bryanboatner]

Very impressive indeed...John, what is your mandolin of choice?

Mr. McGann, the way you work with these young talents makes me feel like expressing my most sincere respect. Way to go.

Mah, dk

Brother Morten: Many thanks, it is a joy to teach. Your music remains a great inspiration to me, and I'm glad to see you getting international recognition and getting more Danish music into people's consciousness.

while we're on the subject, john, i don't know if i've ever properly thanked you for all the help you've given me over the years: you're not just a fabulous musician, but also a wonderful teacher and guide--respect and thanks!
