Pat Bondy's listening history
          This was written in April of 2014.  Most of the songs from that month were duds, but this one was okay.  I trimmed a little fat and even at this funeral dirge tempo it's a lot faster than the original.  It still clocks in at over five minutes…

          My attempt at this super fun sea shanty! 
This is an old New Zealand whaling song. The popular recent version was recorded a cappella by The Longest Johns. I'm using the chords suggested by Piotrek_G on ultimate-guitar.

          Another soothing, kind of playful fingerpicking tune, in something like E minor.
I had intended to put some lyrics over the rhythm track, but then I was having fun with the lead and decided to just keep it this way for now. Maybe another version…

          A simple tune with a sweet melody. New version uploaded with the sound more balanced and a better vocal track, I think.
Lyrics:
You thought it could be simple   
You hoped it would be fine
When you took the path long travelled   
You took…

          A simple one-track mandolin tune. In fact it's the first tune I ever made on the mandolin. I think it would be better with a bodhran drum accompanying it, but I don't know how to play those!
Maybe someday this will work its way into something…
