The Mallard _ Gobby-O  11-8-2024

Finally got around to re-recording a tune I've been playing for at least a year. It's a beautiful tune written by Toon Van Mierlo of Naragonia. Originally it's in Bb, which I have learnt on my G/C instrument, but my D/G has a sweeter tone and better dynamic range, so I'm playing it in G here.

I originally recorded this sometime last year, and I think there's a definite improvement from the previous time: https://soundcloud.com/robotmay/les-deux-fr-res-1.
