The next one is from Mike Compton too. It's a Bill Monroe tune, The First Whippoorwill. I think it was originally done in G# but with the mandolin tuned to play in standard intervals.
I included two versions of this, one pretty slow and one a little faster.
The song has some very characteristic Monroe's moves. Like the slides from Bb to B and the pull offs from F to E. Lot's of good material to work into my vocabulary here.

Really liking this one, Don. Good to be back in the swing of things on lessons.
Thanks Steve. I've only had one lesson with Mike since he got back and now I'm traveling on vacation.
MOre to come in a couple of weeks. Promise to get that CD out to you soon!

No hurry, Don. Enjoy the vacation!
