Mando Hangout Top 20 Celtic/Irish Songs Mando Hangout Members

I wrote this tune while trying to put off shoveling the walk and driveway. Maggie came in and said,&#34Happy Burns&#39 Day.&#34 When I realised what day it was, I used that for the title of my song even though it sounds more Irish than Scottish to me.
This version is from the late Zeke Mazurek&#39s last solo album. It features Zeke on fiddle, me on mandolin, Randall (Rockin&#39 Randy) Kempf on bass and Tom T. Taylor on guitar.

I play this on my 12-string Levin mandolin from 1945...

Hmm.. yeah.. I am not very used to play the 12 stringed yet, so that&#39s why it is a bit slow.
The strings are a bit closer to each other than on the eight stringed.

a little doodle I did at home.. I tried recording acoustic in my study.. didn&#39t turn out too bad..

This is a sort of modern semi-rock interpretation of this very nice traditional old Irish dorian tune.
I play this together with my friend in our project &#34Beards&#39n&#39Hats&#34 and it is only the two of us.
We like to call this a &#34bearded&#34 interpretation of this tune.
I play mandolin, guitar, bouzouki and banjo on this. my friend plays drums, bass and guitar as well as some bouzouki. we pretty much take turns between each take.. :)

My take on the Irish Reel &#34The Maid Behind the Bar&#34 played on solo mandolin. I first learned this tune on fiddle, then just now relearned it for Mandolin.
