I dig Opus 38 in all its inventions and reinventions...yours has a lovely organic funky demeanor! Here's what Dawg said about his composition, "Opus 38 began life as a mandolin piece in the early '60s, and may be heard in that form on Early Dawg (Sugar Hill Records). Later, I decided that the tune sounded better played on mandola with the same fingering-but sounding down a fifth, changing the key from Am to Dm. When I recorded the tune again in 1975 (for The David Grisman Rounder Album, Rounder Records), I played it on mandola and mandocello. If you have either of these instruments, play the music as if you were playing the mandolin. If you don't have a mandola or mandocello, fear not: The tune is easily transposed to Dm by shifting everything to the next lower string, using the same fingering." I like Vassar's playing on the Rounder Album, and, of course, the live recording that you reference with Darol Anger is fantastic!
