This is "Midnight on the Water". Mark plays it with some wonderful drones - hard stuff. He keeps the drones for Bonaparte's Retreat and, after playing it traditionally , takes it into the stratosphere like only Mark can!

@pprinkey man, I hardly got to 3 minutes of this boredom and simplicity, what thumbs-ups d'you expect?

[pprinkey]

Only 10 thumbs up.Somebodies slackin'.This guy does everything well.Won guitar,mandolin,and fiddle contests at the top level when he was in his early teens.Wrote all the music for a 34 minute symphony performance at the age of 37.It took 9 months,15 hours a day to do it.He's the man.

Remarkable.

Very very cool.. Mark lets the violin do the talking... and talking it does. If this is straight improvisation I am again astounded by his talent.
