A lute, this is the soprano member of a family that uses picks and includes the mandola, octave mandolin, mandocello and mandobass. Usually somber. Can be merry.
Jingle Bots goes with the latter in the hoe down party “Cheer So True.” Proper bluegrass with the mandolin strumming.
Lunavare’s “Fresh Air” posed the simple life where mandolins play and christmases are white. New Age folk.
Jingle Bots’re back with a hyper jig “Jingle All Around.” Fiddle and a mandolin, now. Speedy grass.
