"rubesby" by rube

a collection of swing tunes that we recorded in my kitchen as a gentle nod to the duo recordings of the late jethro burns and protege don stiernberg, two folks who practically split the atom of the mandolin for me. the first time i heard jethro burns play 'back home in indiana' i was changed forever i think. these recordings may not ever compare to the sprightly jaunt of jethro's gibson mandolin, but they certainly contain something of the spirit that first struck me in his light, singing playing.

i hope you enjoy them
