Sorry, Stephen. I truly look forward to seeing what you post. I will say that in most cases I have been playing a song and refining it for a good 6 months or more, and performing it publicly at least a few times over several months, before I am comfortable recording it. Sometimes I record 30 or more takes before I have a few to choose from. And I'm still quite unhappy with all but a few of my videos, and even those, I admit, are quite crude.

@themandolinmaniac Many thanks, evidently you take more care than I do as I generally have a go on the spur of the moment and usually put up the second or third take. Its often enough prety shaky, but I am inspired bny the trach many others post so donlt worry too much!

When I have got some of my 'too busy' daytime job work out of the way I am going to try to raise my standards and put some better practiced and delivered mandolin and guitar 'tubes up

play on brother!

Axiomatic272 - Thanks for recording the response - I am flattered! Rock on, Paul!

@themandolinmaniac Many thanks my friend, inspired by your channel I will try to put some more mandolin melodies up, both English and Irish folk melodies and some Bach and Vivaldi etc . I think that popular music was much better when it was more influenced by classical and folk

Its PS the name is Stephen (most people call me Steve), Paul Hathway is the maker of my 2 mandolins-check his site out, he makes a range of plucked instruments.

Your mandolin playing in great, I wish I had that amount of talent. However, please try not to sing again!
