That's a good choice grin

Actually, as far as I can tell, you play the Mandolin pretty well, considering how recently you started, and I wouldn't have thought it would really fit this genre, but it works quite well and the melody is really nice.
Personally, I prefer the overall feel of the song when the piano isn't playing, it sounds less cluttered and clearer that way.

But for a first Mandolin outing, the result is pretty good [Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]

Thanks, B.D.

An enjoyable bit of music. A mandolin isn't typically heard with that style, but it works! smile

Thanks, David.

Enjoyed it immensely.

Appreciate that, Lee....

(I think I must have listened to too much of "The Girl From Ipanema" in my early years.) This is such a satisfying musical journey. Your sense of rhythm, melody and arrangement really shine at all times.
