Duration: 3 min 18 s
Description: I wrote Tree of Life in 1988 in honor of my sister and brother-in-law's wedding. It appeared on a compilation put out by a collective of folks on the Comando list. I am playing a 1983 Flatiron A5-2 mandolin. Peter Brazier plays guitar on this one. Recorded by Ray Alden.

Lovely tune & playing - especially the tremelo.

Jim My wife's father passed down a mandolin  to her. The plate is my pic.  In June of 2010 you commented on a similar instrument and posted pictures of one that looks just like it. Her mandolin is missing the bridge , the nut, and a metal piece.

Hi Jim, very nice tune, is it traditional or your composition ? Possible to get a score (for my personnal use, would be a nice tune for my mando practise :) ) I really like it.

Hi, Just acquired a Windsor banjolin.  Will put up a couple of tunes soon,  Nice playing, rgds db

Tree Of Life

La Paloma by SebastianYradier, circa 1850.  This is the most recorded Sapanish song ever.
The mandolin and first guitar trade solos and octaves in the first half.  At the key change they play together in harmony over the rhythm guitar with ornaments throughout.

The Spanish Garden

The Dove (La Poloma)

Composition by Wm. C. Packard, this tango was written in 1985.
The mandolin and guitar dance the tango!

The Redhead Tango (La Testarosa)

La Sorella by Charles Borel-Clerc first performed in 1906.  
The theme of this arrangement is two sisters, older and younger, singing together.  The two mandolin parts were culled from the original piano score.
