Bluegrass and Old-Time wizard Shohei Tsutsumi came to Santa Cruz for a visit. Being a beautiful day, we took out our instruments and had a nice front porch fiddle tune session!

よくやたあ！！ This was really fun. I love the way the shamisen lends itself to this genre so amazingly well.
Thanks, Lorraine! 
Doesn’t it! It’s actually been about 5 years since I’ve played any fiddle tunes, and this was the first time playing them on shamisen. It was amazing how natural it felt to play those songs on shamisen!
Im saving this up for the weekend and suspect it will be great
It’ll be worth it, I assure you. Especially with a glass of whiskey!
This was even more awesome than I had anticipated. Sounds really good!
