If you enjoy the mandolin videos, sheets, and endless research...
I don't mind where you listen from. My favorite platform though is Bandcamp.

An easy tune teach video people love.
Easily my most popular video.
My least popular, but one of my favs.
Mostly recording time, notation/engraving, and video production, but just to be fun.

“That's Badass”
“Hey man, love your videos! I'm just learning to play the mandolin as my first instrument ever and your song choices are a real inspiration. Keep up the great work and can't wait to see what you bring in 2026.”
“Great video and content. I like the host too, he explains well and the graphics of the old school sheet music and with the play along modern sheet music does great to transport the viewer of the video to the vibes of the historical period and study the melodies with the modern notation.”
“You have a gift. Very beautifully played. This is what I needed for my soul today.”
“hanks for posting these videos! I’ve learned a few of the Bach tunes so far. I enjoy your teaching style.”
“I think you have just given my old mando a new lease on life.”
“Incredible the way you play it like it's a lute”
“I just let this loop for ten minutes or more — doesn’t really get old!”
“Gorgeous and spectacular! Cheers ☕”
“This is so awesome. It will keep me busy for ages. I’ll probably start with the lullaby and Purcell. There is a real beauty in these tunes, and you’re making them accessible. Cheers!”
“I logged in just to subscribe and I'm lazy. I really like your video. I'm just beginning to read sheet music — looking forward to your other videos.”
“Greetings from Dublin, Ireland — great lesson, thanks so much for sharing! 👏👏👏👏”
