Great picking for sure. Nice job! And that looks like a Brentrup mandolin -- pretty cool axe that's for sure -- you in the twin cities? Keep on keepen on -- I enjoyed your tune and playing will keep you young!
this is great and I'm sure the old guy can play by looking at his fingers but based on how he stops at the very end and the music continues, I have to ask if he is the one actually playing the tune we are hearing? If not, then kudos cause it is very subtle.
wonderful. My husband and i both grew up with no musical instruments in the house but we are taking up the mando and uke so that we can leave this kind of legacy to our two kids
You're totally right. My father shared his passion with me, now I love most of the music he loved at my age (I'm 21, he's 51) as much as he did. The only thing left is for me to get as good as he is on a mandolin :) Five stars on the video. Hope your dad plays it for another 85 years!! hehe
Wow, excellent... pick on dude

EvilMonk3y1999 2 years ago
Well, 85 years + 5 years are already 90 years and not that many people become 90.
