  4. Re: Jam Etiquette / Rules Question - Should songs be banned

    If you start banning songs because they reflect the sometimes less than pristine history of our country, then you'd better only play new songs and tunes. But eventually someone will even find them...
  5. Re: Jam Etiquette / Rules Question - Should songs be banned

    Well I vote a resounding no on banning songs/tunes/instruments/hats… Who decides and where does it stop? Plenty of tunes I don’t care for but when they are called I support the person calling them...
  6. Re: Jam Etiquette / Rules Question - Should songs be banned

    Wagon Wheel, the song all the cool kids hate and the audiences always love. Banning songs? We hold genre specific jams (old time, bluegrass, etc.) and even though folks show up for those jams we used...
  7. Re: Jam Etiquette / Rules Question - Should songs be banned

    If you're in a jam with organized rules about tunes, you've got to follow them. Some people will be put off, some will love it, people come and go. Doesn't mean that over time the 'rules' won't...

    Re: Is anyone else scared of Bill Monroe?

    I find it somewhat disheartening to see Bill Monroe bandied about by many who did not know him. You never even knew the man and you are afraid of him? That’s ridiculous. The man has been dead...

    Dave: Thx for the mention.

    I definitely want to point out that the origins of my method came from seeing one of your earlier mandolins that had a removable back. Yours had ultralight nylon ...

    Re: Flexibility

    Back plate stiffness vs top plate stiffness has an impact on the bass/treble balance of an instrument. I don''t like the word "tune", because that can be taken as implying that the parts of an...

    Re: Old Gibson Mandolin Needs Repair

    It would be a shame, IMO, if the mandolin doesn't get the attention it needs because it costs more than its worth. Of course I understand, there is no way to monetize feelings about a great old...

    All the things mentioned above are good ideas, but not all work for everybody. The Voltaren cream had no effect for me, but I've heard that it works for other people. I take Meloxicam every day for...

    Against logic, I've found those Gibson bridges actually sound pretty good. The adjustable ceramic saddle, not the plastic bridge. The idea was simple -- to allow the player to adjust the saddle...
