"Bluegrass in the Backwoods" /// David Benedict Mandolin

Mandolin Mondays #78: Happy birthday to everyone's favorite fiddler, bluegrass boy Kenny Baker, who was born this day 91 years ago. I recently learned this epic 5 part tune that he wrote, and wanted to play it in his memory.

My name is David, and I play the mandolin. I play in multiple award-winning bluegrass bands across the world including Mile Twelve, Cup O’Joe, and The Foreign Landers, and I curate the weekly mandolin video series #mandolinmondays hosted by the Mandolin Cafe.

Nicely done. One of Kenny Bakers’s more intricate tunes. Few players tackle this one.
