Here's the MP3 version of today's livestreamed concert with my mandola, with its newly-installed pickup. You can tune in to the next one live if you're free at noon Pacific time next Wednesday, or check it out after the fact on one of the platforms where it was broadcast (YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Twitch, Linked In) or in podcast form on Patreon, or by looking up This Week with David Rovics wherever podcasts are found.
