	Mandolin Orchestras of North America - Year 2000 eBay A continual presence in America were the mandolin orchestras. After the early-century Golden Age, they were ravaged by loss of members and conductors as well as an inability to interest new generations of players. They were very much local entities, playing to limited audiences. Courage of somehow staying the course rewarded survivors during the mid-1980's. Entering the new millenium, orchestras are an integral part of mandolin's recent accelerated growth. Olde ones grow and newer groups are formed. There is very little written about mandolin, let alone the orchestra phenomenon. It's what prompted editors of Mandolin Quarterly Magazine to put together what they hoped would be a small representative mandolin folio. Most American orchestras responded. Ergo, the folio turned into a book. After Max McCullough's excellent introduction of mandolin in the 20th century, each participating orchestra presents information about itself on two pages. Results indicate great diversity and uniqueness as they enter a new millenium. The one constant is their optimism for the future.

Whether he’s breaking down an Irish slip jig, an old time mountain ballad, a bluegrass tune or an original country/pop song, Tim brings his brilliant musicianship and formidable technique to bear, making these pieces fun and enlightening for learning players. The tunes and techniques that Tim teaches can be played on either instrument. Switching between mandolin and bouzouki (they are tuned to the same notes one octave apart), he demonstrates right and left hand techniques and the advantages of each for soloing, song accompaniment and how to get the most out of their respective textures and tonalities. Each song or instrumental that Tim teaches will bring you greater facility on your instrument. They include "Down in a Willow Garden," "The High Road," "Lay Down Your Weary Tune," "One Girl Cried," "More Love," "The Kid on the Mountain" and "Travelers."
