First time I've ever seen a mandolin played that way.
Guest starring the former lead singer of the Duhks.

The mando player looks like he might be blind, actually.

And speaking of blind mando players with unusual styles...that brings to mind Kenny Hall...http://kennyhallband.com/

In years past, sat in on many a session with Kenny and his wife Marta and others...lots of great music.

The man's pushing 90 years old now and apparently he's still playing. Good for him! :D

Found a couple of links:

You can see his playing style.

And a bit more about Kenny:

I know it's a bit of a veer, but as his age, how many more chances will anyone have to see or jam with him.

I thought it looked like he was blind, & he reminded me of Jeff Healey, the blind blues rocker.

Kenny Hall is a legend(deservedly) in Old Time mandolin circles.
