Sunday, I was a Haymaker for the performance of this piece, under the direction of its composer, Dr. Tim Sharp at Tabor College in Hillsboro, KS with the Tabor College Choir. I had no idea the entire performance would be recorded (quite well!) and posted on YouTube. Here it is:
Tabor College Spring Choir Concert, including High Lonesome Bluegrass Mass

This is a video that Michael Cobb shot at the Artichoke the night before the Kansas Fiddling and Picking Championships. The tune is Brilliancy, one of the two tunes I played the next day. I didn't place, but the whole exercise of preparing for and competing in the mandolin competition was priceless.
