This is a great jam. Thanks.

[@edwardwilkes-eq5fj]

I often wonder what became of Frank's Daughters, Son and his wife.

[@tjbehan3]

I guess all legends slow down as they age. What an incredible legacy Frank has left the world! He is truly one of a kind!

Traurige Grüße aus Köln am Rhein. Manfred. Jetzt ist Frank im Mando Himmel.

[@musicofanatic]

Huh??!? Sounds like they're playing this in G, whilst Wakefield appears to be playing in his original key, Bb. Is the mandolin tuned down three half-steps??

[@donburt1921]

I'd like to know the answer to that. I can't decipher Frank's left hand positions though.

[@musicofanatic]

@@donburt1921 Yeah, his mandolin is tuned down three 1/2 steps here. I looked at another video and he was tuned down 5 1/2 steps. Dunno why...?

[@musicofanatic]

In this video he is playing in the position that would normally yield the key of A, but it is in Eb! kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3-3eJyQo6qEe6M
