See you Saturday

This Saturday, June 4, we'll play at St. Anthony Park Lutheran Church at 10:00 a.m. as part of the St. Anthony Park Arts Festival. I made this set list for the occasion. It's the same music we played at Eagan Pointe.  You can wear whatever you want to.

Then on Monday, we'll start working on Sherry's Kickstarter Rag (parts coming soon). We'll also play Dolce Malinconia, Valse Espagnole, Impresiones de la Puna Danza, Astride My Velocipede, and From the French and English Suites.

Mandolin Pronunciation

Taking a poll here. Do you pronounce mandolin with and accent on the first syllable (like Sierra Hull and Tim O'Brien) or with the accent on the last syllable like the majority of players? Both are appropriate according to Mr. Webster, other sources favor the last syllable accent. I'm currently liking the more relaxed sound of the former and am changing my previously misguided pronunciation.

Steve's brother on slide guitar

MMOers:
Here is a new YouTube video of my younger brother John playing his composition "Bella's Romp." Back in 1966, I taught him everything I knew about guitar. It took him all of 20 seconds to absorb what I had to offer at that point, and he's gotten pretty damned good, if I do say so myself.
