Description:
Apologies for being away so long. This is a rough piece. I'd love to have more time to spend on it... but right now I don't. This isn't the good mando I did my other stuff with, so the tone's a bit on the cheap side, but that's me all over.

Hardware:
Antique mando. Cheap electric geetar.

Well, this is a surprise! Great to see you posting again.

You still know how to jangle that mando, even if it isn't the fine old Gibson one. The electric guitar adds a nice bit of contrast too.

I hope you'll stick around and post some more stuff when time permits. It's good to see you back.

Good to have you back... &mdash 11/22/07 - 09:20:29 AM
...even if you're just passing through. And what a catchy ditty you've brought with you too - did you wear a stetson to record this one?

I like it &mdash 11/23/07 - 03:08:13 PM
I've been away, too. It's nice to drop in again and see a new tune of your up on the page. I enjoyed it. Simple and catchy and, as always, wry.

Sing a song of six strings &mdash 11/25/07 - 05:03:16 PM
No, wait, a mandolin has 8, right?

Anyway, a simple song, but quite convincing. Very nice.

delightful MandiBlues &mdash 11/26/07 - 08:15:33 PM
this sort of thing is supposed to be rough, isn't it? You certainly have that hesitant tremor in your voice that gives this sincere delivery. Fun guitar accent too, but I would lose the shaker in my right ear, that is the only critique.
Welcome Back!
ttfn,

If your home is here &mdash 11/26/07 - 08:58:52 PM
We will all follow you home, so stick around.

Most enjoyable ditty. A tasty morsel indeed. Loved how you added those guitars in the way you did, it really gives it a unique sound and not what you set up to receive at the beginning, a pleasant suprise.

Thanks for commenting on my beer drinkin tune too. You should add that mando sound to Thoddi's Christmas tune.

Lovely song &mdash 11/28/07 - 03:51:06 AM
Great to see/hear you post again William - it's been far too long.

Very good tune - I can hear so many possibilities in this. Moving from the Richard Thompson-ish start to a full on Fairport (rock) treatment.

Fantastic that you're back.

Hey! &mdash 11/29/07 - 06:00:39 PM
It's Mando out of Revolving Doris and he's back!

Well, as one of your biggest fans, I'm sure you can imagine that I'm very happy to hear a new song and I think the tone of this mando actually suits the whimsical nature of the lyrics quite nicely ("steal a car or find a rocket").

More please.

Very Cool and Been Away Too Long! &mdash 12/05/07 - 07:39:39 PM
This is a really interesting song, both musically and
vocally and love what seems simplicity but on a deep
listen is quite deep. Good to hear your signature sound
on Macjam's again!
