Joe Carr, Editor

Welcome to the latest issue of Mandolin Sessions®!
This time around our resident jazz guru Ted Eschliman explains how we can re-harmonize old favorites. Joe Mendel talks to world-class stringed instrument repairman Frank Ford and Sergio Lara shares his favorite mandolin tune, Poor Wayfaring Stranger. String wizard Gerald Jones has been transcribing and re-arranging classical guitar repertoire for mandolin. He shares his beautiful arrangement of Sound of Bells. Listen to the MP3. Wendy Anthony gives us another must-have mandolin tune and Roger Landes gives us his very cool arrangement of Tam Linn. Seth Austen brings us a polska from Sweden. Happy winter picking! Snuggle up with your mandolin. It won't be cold forever!

As always, let us know what you like.
