does anyone know where i can get a recording of this?

[monologtube]

the best way I know would be to download the audio off the Woodsongs archives, then edit it on Audacity or something to get this tune.

Ah. I'm glad you posted this. I was going to but I'm weary about posting a lot of Woodsongs clips. I don't know how they feel about their clips being on YouTube. This is one of my favorite performances ever. Chris's solo is ridiculous.

[monologtube]

Well, I don't know either, but I'm willing to risk taking the flame for making this fantastic music more accessible.

It does NOT get any better than this. How can anyone stomach what's on commercical radio after hearing this?

[dickass1234]

This is just unbelievable. Mike rocks the hell out of that mandocello and Chris is nothing short of a gift from above. This tune is outstanding.

[FenderNashvilleTele]

Chris' mandolin solo was the best mandolin solo I've ever heard and Mike Marshall's solo was the best mandocello solo.

Damn - it's the Al Dimeola of Mandolin !

or is it Mandocello ?

A Mandolin savant if you will.

The funny thing is - imagine what he could do with an instrument of appropriate size.

This is like watching Beethoven when he was 3 - playing a symphony on one of those little childrens pianos - and being floored by it
