Here is a quick lead sheet I pulled together quickly to learn the song! If someone has a proper pdf of the full song, please share, as long as it does not break copyright. This song should be public...

I hear them singing words. ;)
"Un Canadien Errant" is an anthemic song in Quebec. In 1837, some Canadians in Upper (Ontario) and Lower (Quebec) Canadian rebelled against the colonial...
I worked for a professional violin shop for most of my carreer and that is what I was taught. The theory is that the after length would be a fifth and two octaves above the string. We focused more on...
At some point a few months back some system someplace replicated some bad DNS information. It wasn't available in some places but was available elsewhere. This happens now and again. Hopefully Paul's...
You did the right thing by notifying the vendor of their mistake. If it turns out you get to keep it somehow great but if not enjoy the new F5S.
I also like them very much. On the Skedaddlers' website, there's a "contact" link in the bottom right corner, so if no one here answers your question you could ask directly. If you find out, please...
The “blow-up over Kate Smith” and God Bless America should not be offensive if its history is remembered. The person who created this song, Irving Berlin, donated all royalties to benefit children,...

I have played Wagon Wheel probably more than most of, if not all, the people in here because a singer I used to work with loved it and sang it constantly. That being said, there is a time and a...
You're right journeybear. Many of my airline and corporate pilot buddies are avid musicians as well as pilots. Schedules permitting, some of them manage to hold down regular paid gigs.
And the...
I now have three different Stromberg Voisinet mandolins, none of which have a complete set of functioning tuners. The nicer two have mahogany sides and back (laminate?) while the other appears to be...
Happy New Year, Ed. I was lucky with my Stromberg-Voisinet as it was not expensive and the seller said the neck was loose. When it arrived, he had been unduly pessimistic about the neck joint which...
I am over the moon for this Morris A4! It's so beautiful to look at and listen to... the tone is sweet and warm... sparkle-y highs.
Mr. Howard Morris really does build a wonderful Mandolin :)

One of my favorite Frank quotes.... He often said when he sold a brand new instrument to someone "It'll never look better and it'll never sound worse.". I've used that one several times.
If you've...
Alvarez is a brand name owned by St. Louis Music. Kazuo Yairi was a luthier that had a shop that built some (not all) instruments for St. Louis Music. Kazuo Yairi Also sold his own instruments with...
I always heard mandolin music was cool, and here that notion is affirmed

This photo came up on Facebook today from True North Records. It's a photo of Sylvia Tyson (then Fricker, best known as half of Ian and Sylvia) playing the Bohemian Embassy in Toronto about 1960. ...
Hey All,
My music teacher and I developed an Irish trad tunebook that we're putting out here for all to use. I know there’s already a few out there, but this one’s ours! It contains tabs and...
Here a lovely little melody that I was playing around with this morning. This tune has been reused and repurposed so many times I wasn't even sure what to put as the title. Anyway, I thought it...
And old song that was modified by the Carter Family and a number of others. The melody is shared with McKinley Blues/White House Blues, as are some of the lyrics.

Not true at all, a pickup in my Brentrup has not altered the acoustic sound a bit. I have put them in many instruments and made no difference in the acoustic sound.
A few years back, George Gruhn invited me up to his office to A/B two brand new upper line Martin dreadnoughts. They were identical to each other, except one had a torrefied top and the other did...
Bloody hell. :disbelief::(:crying:
There's plenty of mandolin content,actually. And I'll do what I can to provide some, and some context.
Besides the fact that the music scene he helped to...
