Very engaging piece and performance. Did you commission it?

@mtessi20 - Thanks! I didn't pay a commission, but I did ask Elizabeth to write it. This is actually her third piece for the mandolin. The first, for mandolin and piano, was published back in the 80s. The second was for electric mandolin and piano, and was primarily arrangements of other pieces she had written, but had one new movement for solo electric mandolin called Electric Bebop!
