One of the reasons I wanted to play mandolin in the first place was hearing Ry Cooder play blues on some of his early recordings. With a little digging I was led to the music of Yank Rachell and his mandolin playing with Sleepy John Estes. For my ears the sound of a guitar and a mandolin { or mandola } playing blues together is the sonic equivalent of birthday cake and ice cream. I wish there were more people playing with this combination. When I get home tonight I think there will be a little mandolin blues festival on my turntable. Happy Birthday guys - and Yank - rest in peace. |

Let's see, that's me, Ry, northfolk/Al Cholger, McMusic, Alice Stuart with whom I'm sharing a stage tonight at the Cafe Pinceau in Edmonds, WA. It ought to be fun, hope you other Geminis can make it.
