www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYa9qdtxevg&t=7s Nigel Woodhouse does a great job introducing the mandolin in this film. It's fascinating how composers have used it to add a unique, folk-inspired color to orchestral music over the centuries.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8ggk-_b6io The combination of aged European spruce, American maple, and Cuban mahogany must give it a rich, unique tone. I'd love to hear Ian and Tom play a few more tunes on it!

www.youtube.com/watch?v=DreuC6cYZwU John Reischman’s techniques for “Salt Spring” are truly inspiring. I’d love to hear more about what makes his approach so special and how it contributes to the tune’s popularity.

The Scandinavian polska sounds fantastic on the Phoenix Neo Bluegrass mandolin. It’s great to see such a rich piece of Nordic folk tradition brought to life. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuUt87yewDc |

I love the idea of introducing Nordic folk music through mandolin and guitar. Your choice of instruments and the Polska after Juringius must make for a captivating performance. www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2mYTyKiScw |

While "Pussy Willow" might get a bad rap, I agree that the music is solid and there’s definitely more depth to the lyrics than some might realize. It’s great to see how different people can find something special in tracks others might overlook. Personally this is one of my most favorite songs of the album. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zir4eSOALA |
