    Re: Church Praise Band Question

    This thread reminds me of something I’d not thought of in many years. My wife and I got married very young and I started attending her church. I was 20 and had been playing (owning, really) guitar...

    Re: Demonstrating a mandolin

    I know what you mean. Most any demo will be someone blazing away at the same old fiddle tunes or Bluegrass licks. I hardly watch demos anymore because of this.

    Re: listing of rock songs w/mando

    Great song. Sexton is Dylan and Costello's lead player. A true master of the guitar. That song Sunday Clothes is from circa 1995 on his brilliant solo record Under The Wishing Tree.

    Re: Church Praise Band Question

    I’ve sat in with a worship team a few times on mandolin. I will echo the sentiment that the music director/leader possibly lacks imagination here.

    Quilted Maple Sky

    Yesterday evening the sky over my house looked just like the quilted maple on the back of a mandolin. Snapped a quick pic and wanted to share.

    Re: playing late and drinking

    That's what I call a "Bible Buzz," particularly when it comes to wine as it "gladdens the heart," etc. (Ps 104:15), and yes, the trick is to get there and stay. But there is a mighty steep drop off...
  10. Re: D'Addario Micro Headstock vs Micro Clip Free tuners

    I use the little D'Addario microtuners, keep them flipped around backwards, and leave them on while I play. The little bit covering a part of the logo doesn't bother me all that much. But I can't...

    Re: Best Budget Mandolin? Advice.

    My advice, for what it's worth, is to not buy a cheap mandolin. I went down that road and ended up spending a lot more money in the long run (buying, selling, setups, upgrading parts to try and get...

  14. Re: Has anyone tune their mandolin a half step down?

    Old thread and the OP hasn't been here since 2010, but I'll contribute.

    I have kept my mandolin tuned down a half step quite a bit, and I've also messed around with putting it in 432Hz down...
