Back again.   Man, always respected you for a lot of things.   Lately, you sound is growing on me like a fine embrace.

From the gut, heart felt blues. Interesting sound from that mandolin. Wonder if the neck and frets are standard as well as the strings?

GREAT...nothing else to say after looking at that video...

...voice, rhythm, mandolin, sound, tone...all is nice...

Thanks for all the comments.  Yeah, tuning the mandolin to an open chord really made it come alive for me. 

Harry really makes a solid instrument.  This thing will last forever.

Nice mando and great blues.  I have a self made 4 string mando that had disappointed me.   I suspect you are in an open tuning,  here.   I looked up open  mando tunings and treid GDgd.   Hey, that made the mando sound better.
