Uwman Unregistered Posted: Nov. 07 2002, 15:20 Has still somebody the song "Moonlight Mando" !? I can't download it anymore !! Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: Nov. 09 2002, 20:12 I think I know why...it's sorted now - try this (I've edited the URL in my first post in this thread as well, in case anyone's wondering...). Enjoy! Back to top

CarstenKuss Group: Musicians Posts: 362 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Nov. 10 2002, 16:37 Finally I got it. Great job Korgscrew! I'm listening over and over (with a grin) which gave me the following idea: Why not watch the MS video (with castle fireplace, horse-and-carriage, duel, crystal ball etc...), mute the sound and turn on Moonlight Mando instead! Quite a medieval feeling, eh?   -------------- -Carsten- Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: Dec. 18 2002, 21:58 Well, nice that people are still enjoying the track... I suspect that tabbing out the whole thing might take more time than I have at the moment. I'm not sure I'd recommend following my fingering for the solo either, as I didn't pick the easiest way of doing that (it goes all the way up the neck then back down again - it would be simpler to play it all up at the top end, though it wouldn't sound the same...or it could be played on a mandolin instead, of course). If you happen to have an octave mando handy though, here's the intro...

Da Big Dude Unregistered Posted: Dec. 21 2002, 09:17 You ask if it could be on an album. Sure it would. Could be on " Elevator's Greatest" Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: Dec. 21 2002, 17:55 It would be quite amusing to have it on loop in one of those 'superloo' public toilets that sometimes have music playing inside...that would soon make sure that people got out before the automatic cleaning begins (as if that wasn't enough on its own...) Not sure about elevators though - I thought it was a requirement for the music to have either strings or pan pipes...or was that supermarkets? Back to top

Ecco Group: Musicians Posts: 229 Joined: Nov. 2002 Posted: Dec. 22 2002, 17:24 Well done, Korgscrew! Very engaging and masterfully played! It put a smile on one's face, keep it up   -------------- http://www.myspace.com/twilighttide Back to top

Remixer Unregistered Posted: Jan. 09 2003, 20:43 Mind if i put this on CD and play it in my car on the way to work.... great way to start a day ! Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: Jan. 19 2003, 12:19 I don't have any problem with that (as long as you're not going to sell it afterwards - that's the point where we'd hit problems )...thanks for asking. Glad you're finding it as fun as I did...and yes, the octave mando rocks big time Back to top

Music, the ancient language... Group: Musicians Posts: 407 Joined: Jan. 2003 Posted: Mar. 21 2003, 17:36 I've played it for some of my friends, and their reactions were great! They all laughed at the little tremelo part (they aren't Oldfield fans, in contrary, so the reaction is due to your magnificent performance! ). And another friend of mine said, right at the first second: "How happy!" and he kept smiling during the whole song! I thought you'd like to know. -------------- Read everything I write at own risk.

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: Mar. 22 2003, 10:59 Happy? Ha-aa-aaa Something about that little tremolo bit does seem to always raise a laugh. Sometimes it seems the world needs more happy tunes... Back to top

Ecco Group: Musicians Posts: 229 Joined: Nov. 2002 Posted: April 02 2005, 05:44 Hope you don't mind, Korg', we just felt this lil ditty was in need of a well-deserved bump to the front for new-comers.

terry2 Group: Members Posts: 30 Joined: Nov. 2003 Posted: April 06 2005, 15:03 I must have missed this one. I really enjoyed this. Please do more covers with that great sounding instrument if you find the time. I love live playing and acoustic stuff it really dose it for me. Thanks korgscrew  I’ll look out for more . My best Terry Back to top

Jeremy Group: Members Posts: 56 Joined: Mar. 2005 Posted: June 08 2005, 05:30 WOW, could I have your permisson to play that at my funeral? (not that this is going to happen anytime soon) It would be so perfect when they carry the coffin out! I mean it, this is one fun track. People often overlook the humour that Mike puts in his recordings, this is right up there with all his little "jokes". Well done and thanks. -------------- How can they NOT like my music!

Tansy Group: Members Posts: 416 Joined: April 2005 Posted: June 25 2005, 05:38 I just cannot stop listening to Moonlight Mando.The Octave Mandola has a really good sound .I'd love to hear it with african drum beat added - just out of interest.Korgscrew, after reading your initial post & introductory comments on the peice I'd really be interested in hearing some of your other material   Back to top
