Lewis and Danny Mahon. Father & Son. Lewis Playing the Mandolin and Danny the Guitar.

This is my Grandpa and Uncle Playing. Papa Passed away February 2008, at 79 years old.

Your grandpa is a very nice man and for you he's the best.... thats all....I just wish people would understand that..!

[Joleen92682]

@alzhammer1 For me and my Family he was the best ;) Yes, thank you for understanding that.

I wish I had a better way to load the music onto here, because the quality isn't the best. The original stuff sounds amazing.

I've ordered a Big Muddy M11 but having knocked a tune out of a Guitar, Irish Bouzouki and an Octave Mandola I find tht my fingers assult each other on the Mandolin because of the closness of the frets.

@Reggae1942 I always wondered myself how my Grandpa and Uncle could play soooo well with those big man hands on that tiny Mandolin, but it can be done! Good Luck to you:)

AMAZING. Very very talented. People like this, videos like this make me so happy. Nothing like the sweet sound of the mandolin in capable hands.

Fine job -- surely one of my favorite Monroe tunes -- this is an inspiring version --- I've never sat down and really worked the tune out properly. But I will now!!!

A most enjoyable mandolin style, somewhat in between Monroe's bluegrass and old-timey to my ears. You were blessed with that man. R.I.P.

You are very blessed to come from such a wealth of musical skill. Than you for posting this; your grandfather's tunes have inspired me to get off my butt and practice!
