I've loved Andy Statman's music for years and he doesn't tour much, so I wanted to make sure people know about these dates.

He's doing a free afternoon masterclass and evening concert in Oberlin,...

Don't have that one, but since you said "any" of his songs, here's Heart of the Heartland. 130826

You can observe the same phenomenon with buses.

Here's a clip of Joe Walsh (mandolin, vocals,) Grant Gordy (guitar) & Ian Hutchison (bass) performing Irving Berlin's "Russian Lullaby" (via David Grisman & Jerry Garcia) live in our studios. Enjoy!...

Solo arrangement of the Byrds' song. No effects, miked speaker.

As cool as vintage instruments are I would always lead toward a new instrument. I say this because the playability is almost always
better! the sound is just as good or better and there's nothing...

I've heard that version as well! Was it the one at Summer NAMM 2013, i.e. this one?

She does the tune in F with capo on 3, so she plays out of the...

And a nice song from one of my favorite musicians.

It occurs to me that R. Crumb doesn't get many mentions on the Cafe, in spite of being one of the most widely known folks to pick and 8-string. There's a nice new interview with him

Listening to this recording brought back some great memories for me:

Old And In The Way turned out to be one of the most influential Bluegrass bands ever, introducing the genre to a new...

Jimmy has said that very same thing, many times.

The thing about JAG was, he was young, sang tenor, and he could pick the fire out of the thing. And he was in the right place at the right time....

Here's an example for you in the key of F:

Been playing around w/ Fender mandocaster reissue and Marshall Class 5 (mini plexi). Soaked w/ wonderful univibe goodness.

Tim gets to some solo mando somewhere in here...

I've done LOTS of these things, and find that cyanoacrylate works wonders in this situation. I just soak the stuff in, clamp it up, and clean up with acetone (if possible, depending on the finish)....

There's more than just tone here, too. Many players prefer a modern setup with a radiused fretboard, and many of the Gibson teens A models need some intonation work to be correct with modern strings,...

I'd take an Old Wave oval over just about every old Gibson oval I've played.

Here it is:

First, I would like to thank the mandolin community for making "Mandolin For Dummies" a success. It is currently the #3 mandolin book on Amazon and rising. Many people have contacted me regarding the...

Greetings, Cafe friends. I hope that you'll forgive my posting this in the 'general' category. If ever a musician was hard to categorize, I'd say it's Andy Statman. Place him in bluegrass, jazz,...

The above posts deal mostly with the mechanics of finding the notes - i.e. translating the written note to the instrumental technique that produces the correct pitch. I see learning to read music as...

I came across this video of Summer Breeze and thought I'd share. I've never really checked out Seals and Crofts before, although I do know that Dash has his fans here for sure.

The other night, I had Rushad Eggelston, mad cello genius, give a workshop for our youth orchestra string section, about 60 kids from ages 10 to 18. 2-1/2 hours and the kids wanted more. Anyway, the...

Not my video - I got it from my friend who was running the sound for that tent (along with Erick, the former sound guy for Crooked Still) and I think he...
