Yes Sir, those guys do cover a lot of mandolin ground between them, but i think for me thats the thing, i have always tried to approach the mandolin as an instrument in and of itself rather than as a means to play any particular genre ( i remember once talking to a bass player who was convinced that you could only play folk/trad tunes on the mandolin, an odd notion for me, but i could see where he was coming from ). For me, each one of those players opened a different area of possibility for the mandolin, they presented me with different sounds and approaches that just reinforced my belief of the mandolin as a versatile and expressive instrument. I just had a perusal of your videos, you sure know how to drive those fiddle tunes along, and i do like the cut of Mc Mule, from the feel of the music, i'd imagine you guys must have a blast playing together... my toes do be tapping and i have a grin on my face, thats a fine reccomendation for any music. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Taterbugmando" group.
