I thought I'd post a link to a video of Spencer Strickland's latest build. I think Spencer is a cafe member, but haven't seen him promoting his builds. NFI on my part, I just think he is building...

This video is a slow walk-through on Jethro Burn's 1st solo:

Presumably everybody who builds instruments knows about "The Tree." This is a rather good article on the subject: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/the-legend-of-the-music-tree-180979792/
From what I have found it was Lester Flatt who played the first F5 in bluegrass in the Kentucky Pardners. If you are of the belief that the Monroe Bros. sound was the foundation for the sound of the...

Ha ha ha! :)) Very clever! And what a great time-efficient how-to video - direct, to-the-point, succinct. No frills, no fat, no tangents. Spot on.
I can see doing this, though it does seem piano...

Here’s an example of a tune with a definite pulse to it.
There are lots of different rhythms. I actually play the tunes I know in different styles just to get used to having a rhythmic intention...
Jethro dressing up like Mike Compton.:))
Stumbled upon this clip of Jethro Burns & Roy Clark on Hee Haw form 1980.

Hi Peter -
Thank you so much! I most appreciate your in depth understanding of these L&H mandolins (and am quite taken with mine - they are really wonderful IMHO). I suspect I could count on one...
I have bundled up all the early bluegrass tapes that my father made of music at Bean Blossom and of WRVA, WWVA, WSM etc radio broadcasts and donated them to the Center. I was very impressed with Dr....
Never seen a Cromwell "lump scroll" mandolin before. This article on "Gibson Made Brands" says the GM-6 was only made for six months in 1936:
In 1936, they added two more mandolins, the GM-5,...

My passion is old-time music, so my top choices are different than most of the Cafe'. My all-time favorite mandolin player is Curtis Buckhannon. Tied for second favorite are Clyde Curley and Bruce...
