Reso

Here's a piece that I put together a while back, but just finally made it public.  It's dedicated to the memory of my border collie Cody, the best dog I ever met.   It follows my regular theme of dog-inspired tunes.  On this tune I played my Steve Pierce reso, mando, banjo, guitar, & bass.  Thanks for listening.

I messed around with some recording over the weekend and decided to risk posting this arrangement.  After all the really great stuff others have posted here I am a little hesitant but here it is.  I played around with an arrangement of St. Annes Reel.  There are plenty of flaws here (timing, bar rattle, etc).  This tune definitely stretched me to get it on Reso.  I have played it for years on mandolin.  The playing is not perfect but maybe you'll find the arrangement a little interesting.  

Hope you like it (or some of it...).

There are two dobro breaks in there for you resoheads.

Alan Kaufman, Michael Bean, Mike Kenney, Howie Tarnower, and Lauck Benson - at Johnny D's in Somerville on 9-22-09.  I had uploaded another version of this tune from an earlier gig, but here's a recent performance that's a lot of fun.  This one has more reso content for those who like to swing.
