The Dawn Chorus/The Rolling Waves

This is "The Dawn Chorus" by Charlie Lennon which I learned from the wonderful mandolin player Marla Fibish, and the traditional tune "The Rolling Waves."

Two years after I recorded this, I'm super tempted to delete it due to the awkward transition between between these two tunes - not to mention the questionable choice to put them together! - but the fact that it has so many views and still gets so much feedback stops me from taking it down. Gosh darn it, it's just really nice for the old self-esteem.

And I suppose at the very least, it'll be nice to contrast this with the new bouzouki videos I intend to make soon!

To anyone who takes the time to comment, I want to say thank you! I don't always have time to respond to all of you, but I really appreciate that you've watched my video(s) and were nice enough to say something.

(And no, I'm not actually left handed, the webcam mirrors the image and I never felt like flipping it in iMovie)

Nice stuff, who made your Bouzouki?

[lindsaystraw]

@seilidh Fylde in England - you should check them out!

You are cute! strange fingering, for sure that is not standard tuning

[lindsaystraw]

@chirritutiplen Haha, thanks! GDAD isn't exactly non-standard in the realm of bouzoukis, though!
