17 Sep 24 - 06:20 PM (#4208490) Subject: RE: Mandolin Tunes and Songs From: Ebbie I just found one mandolin tune on YouTube that I already know: Mandolin Chimes by Bill Yohey. I knew Bill years ago in my hometown in Oregon; I believe he died a number of years ago. This is not a good recording -it's better in person- but it's a good tune. If I remember correctly he wrote it himself. |
