I have been looking at it ..using the piano, I find it easier to try things that way as the melody and the chords can be tried all at once quite easily. The ideas are still forming. I would enjoy a chance to play C Dorian Waltz in ensemble, but would have to get Scottie to beam me ..to the location, Tasmania would be just too far, to ask folks to travel to. HA I would need a travel grant... I might be able to scare up some volunteers here for a Tassie effort, but there are no mandolas here that I know of. We could have regional play-off's ...though. Might take a while to organise. ljt
