About Me |
|
| I started playing mandolin at age 15, after fiddling around with the guitar for a few years. A friend of mine traded his guitar for a banjo and convinced me that I should start to play the mandolin.. The first one is free, and then you're hooked... Ever since I started playing I've been writing tunes on guitar and mandolin (probable because I was to lazy to learn all the old trad. tunes..). Some of these tunes you will find on this page. About the songs Wheel Hoss: (Bill Monroe) Demo recording featuring myself on all instruments. Wedding March: (Trad.) Demo recording. Traditional Norwegian fiddletune adapted for mandolin. Echoes: (H. Askeland) Demo recording featuring myself on all instruments. Waltz in G-major, and stuff..: (H. Askeland) Demo recording featuring myself on all instruments. Down The Old Millstream: (H. Askeland) From Hemisfair's new CD, "Blue Blue Grass Of Home". Knut Hem: Dobro, Øystein Fosshagen: Fiddle, Lars Håvard Haugen: Guitar, Finn Guttormsen: Bass, and myself on Mandolin & Rhythm Guitar. Blackberry Blossom: (trad.) Demo recording featuring myself on all instruments. I made my myspace layout using Pimp-My-Profile.com |
