Mandolin Mondays #187: West coast mandolin resident Mike Mullins joins us for Mandolin Mondays with a beautiful rendition of "The Water is Wide" played on his renecked 1937 Gibson F7.

Additionally, Mike has been working on a new project called 8-String Sketches--an album of solo mandolin arrangements of tunes from around the globe and across time. The piece in this video will be featured on the record and it will be due for release in January 2020.

Here's a word from Mike about the tune and mandolin in this video, "This is my meandering rendition of an old Scottish favorite, "The Water is Wide." "Outlander" fans may recognize the intro interlude. My mandolin is 1937 Gibson F7 that was renecked to F5 specs many years before I owned it, probably by Randy Wood. I acquired it in 1991 from David Grisman, who owned it at that time. It’s been my main axe since and I’m still pretty bonded with it. It’s got a face only a mother could love, but I love the sound."

And as always, tune in next week for more Mandolin Mondays! Until then...

Happy Picking!
