We did it! 🎉 🎉 🎉 Another Fiddle Tune February for the books! Here's "The Mason's Apron" for our last mega tune. I wanted to use this multipart reel as a stretch goal for myself this year, trying to get those crazy Irish triplets up to speed--and I'm realizing that I lose control of my lips when I play this one, haha! This version is heavily inspired by the fiddle playing of John Sheahan from The Dubliners, but adapted for mandolin.

There are multiple Irish tunes with this same name, but man, this particular version of "The Rolling Waves" slaps! Love how the A section starts on the 5 chords--it feels like it just wants to keep going on forever. PDFs and recordings up on my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/davidbenedictmandolin
