Mandolin music


Have not had any free time to play on ag for a time. Need to ask a question.

I was with the flu a month or 2 ago and while asleep on the couchIheard amosbeautiful song from a man named Marty Setwart ( I think ) It was on Austin City Limits I think? Couldnt tell you the name of the song or any details, (had some really great cough syrup from the dr.)
Decided then I needed to learn to play this instrument.
My father in-law has already did the bluegrass thing 20 yrs ago and I like bluegrass but not what I'm after.

I like the sound of Heart, and some alt.country sounds but would like to expand my horizions. Dont really like the celt or even the Jethro Tull sound but I can appreciate good or original good music.

Dont know what I am really after, not something to try to replicate playing im still learning chords and runs. ( but I do play a vintage Gibson lp and a tube marshall)

Kind of likespacey hipnotic music, alt.rock, alt.country or anything really cool or in great taste.

I'm guessing that you saw Marty Stewart who mostly does country but comes from a bluegrass background.

Definitely check out David Grisman who was a long time buddy of Jerry Garcia and has taken the mandolin to places where no mandos gone before. His label Acoustic Disc has lots of interesting mandolin music which is generally recorded live in his home studio with minimal processing and wonderful vintage mikes and equipment. First class fidelity.
