Homespun

The mandolin is a beautiful and soulful instrument, and since its centuries-old origins in Italy has been used for many kinds of music. Although primarily known in America for its applications in bluegrass music, wonderful musical adventures await those who take their mandolin playing into other genres.

This "bundle" includes:
• Norman Blake's melody-rich old-time tunes and original compositions - "Traditional and Original Tunes and Techniques" • Steve James' excursions into early blues and African American string band styles - "Learn to Play Blues Mandolin" • Tim O'Brien's rich mix of material - "Celtic, Bluegrass and Contemporary Songs."

Each of these DVDs will provide hours of great learning and a wealth of new experiences for you on your mandolin.
