Temporary Post

This is the family quick version of Rabbit in the Pea Patch. It was the first tune I picked out when I began playing the mandolin. I heard my dad play it, who probably heard his older family members play it. He started playing when he was 4. My cafe avatar is the back side of his little Holdrio Piccolo mandolin his folks got him at a pawn shop.

I shot this quickly in iPhoto, so I'm mirrored -- I'm really right-handed!

Loretta, I looked through some SAW threads and Marcelyn had some suggested tunes for future polls, including Rabbit in the Pea Patch. I PMd her about it, she sent me the ABC of a version she had found plus a couple of youtube links. They are different from my little ditty tune, which I play just one time through here.

First Audio Post

Today is Sunday, May 15, and I just had my Apple lesson where I learned what to do with my GarageBand and Zoom H2 audio files to put them in email or in the blog. Now I have to hone my GarageBand skills, after I improve my playing skills. The link below was put here during my lesson at the Apple store this morning.
This link takes you out of here and to a whole different site


Here is one of my renditions, so Loretta, let me know when you have seen it so I can preserve a bit of dignity and take it down. Thank you.
