    Re: Keeping up with the Fiddlers

    This is an interesting concept that a few people here have alluded to, and so it bears consideration. I have always heard previously that one should start slow and that if you try to speed up before...

    Re: Keeping up with the Fiddlers

    Busy weekend. I've been taking note of everyone's excellent advice, but haven't had a chance to weigh in.

  4. Re: Bluegrass Mandolin Jam Tunes by Rick Williams any good?

    Looks cool, but he specifically states: " Bluegrass Jam Tunes books are not available by mail; you must come to the store in person to purchase one."

    Re: New Mandolin Cafe Hat

    I like the idea of khaki or dark green. I have way too many black hats. Red, I don't know, maybe not these days. I almost got into an altercation with someone not long ago when I was wearing a red...

    That's an interesting still life you posted, Simon.

    Wow, I've been saving worn out jeans for years, hoping/planning to make them into something else, quilts, bags, etc. I could have a goldmine in my closet ;)
