I attended the Montana Fiddle Camp in Monarch, for a week, when Bobby Hicks, John Reischman and and Brad Leftwich were teaching. There was lots of jamming & of course the music the entire week, was...

We went to Bob Wills Days 2023. We camped maybe 20 miles away at beautiful Caprock Canyon SP. The festival was fun but I don’t believe it’s as big as maybe before. I was not aware of any...

Turkey, Texas is a wide spot in the road, not much there normally, as far as I can recall. I haven't been there in many years, but we used to play them in baseball and basketball back in the late...

The Montana Fiddle Camp is well-run and in a great venue. How can you go wrong with instructors like Redd Volkaert & my friend Paul Glasse, for that weekend?

Here's the CBS interview with Sierra.

It's been a while since my last Beatles arrangement. Here's what I came up with the other day for their song "In My Life."

I did all the past Beatles arrangements on mandola, but for some reason...

Huh. How about that? :confused: Well, I'm here to learn, as well as share what I've learned. So thanks for that. Seems United also breaks hearts. :(

Proud to have been knowing Tommy since the 1970s and to call him a friend! He was an informative, enthusiastic and invaluable councilor on a bigtime mandolin purchase I made a coupla years back.

May you have a warm, happy and lovely birthday.

One of his wonderful songs, sadly never on an album.

I like the Unitune but still have occasional problems in direct sun when batteries get low.

I have a few D’Addario micro tuners and they are generally hard to see in sunlight, but the micro unit...

Peterson stroboclip for me. They have a new chargeable one with a color screen. Not sure how it does in full sunlight, but the current one is great.

I like the Peterson StroboClip. Pricey, but it's a great strobe tuner that is the best I've found, and it has good visibility.

I have good lock with this

ZETA's A/E mando's have 'active' electronics . . . meaning they have a preamp and battery. A floor DI can be used for additional power (volume) boost along with tonal adjustments, tuner, etc . . ....

Nugs is a subscription streaming service that focuses on live music. They have some albums, but it's mostly live recordings like grateful dead, pearl jam, and billy strings.

There's a lot of...

I have been using iReal Pro with BlueStacks on a Windows 10 PC successfully for a couple of years. I did create the iReal Pro account on an Android phone first.

I have tried that and was unable to get it in a workable condition on my laptop. I have stuck to using it on the phone, when I use it which is rarely.

Chrome Industries makes very durable bags, AFAIK it’s still a bike messenger favorite.

Besides the Tonematch, how much gear are we talking about? For mandolin gigs I use an old camera backpack with different compartments designed to protect lenses. I carry my clip on mic, my preamp...

A nice tribute to a wonderful fella.

A fitting tribute to Alan, Jim :mandosmiley:
