    Re: Tremolo...Which player...

    Caleb Klauder has the machinegunniest tremolo. Percussive. Loud. In your face. Some might call it mandolin abuse. I like it but it ain't sweet or smooth. And Caleb uses it well.

    Re: Double Time vs. Half Time

    "double time" vs "half time"

    In formal metrical analysis, each of these terms is an example of what is called a "dok". If they are indeed equal, they are known as "paradoks".

    Re: Did something I never thought I’d do

    You and son are in good company, Mark. Even Pavarotti was (allegedly) singing a step or two down late in his career. I have to say "allegedly" because I don't want to get sued....

    I think today's mandolins do look pretty with all those sunbursts and stain but I really like the look of natural wood. I trust that bluewood binding was sustainably grown and harvested and no...

    This is true if you overfeed your cat. Cut back the rations to the vet-recommended diet and it'll give you all kinds of attention ... starting about an hour before dinnertime.

    Also for the record: I have bought and sold mandolins through the cafe's classifieds for several years and have had good communications in each case.

    Re: Weber Yellowstone Experts

    March, 2005. last 2 digits = month. first digit = year-2000 for seven digit s/n's.
