Got a few new picks, tuner, strap, strings, peg winder and a pick box. Pretty happy with the haul.

You can really see the disgust on his face in this picture. He's clearly seeing another Mandolin player using a capo.

When TT says that Haas as a 'bionic bowing arm' (in the interview in the original post above), I thought right away of this recording. It's really unlike any other recording of the tune. And when...

Combining this post into the end of the other thread shortly. This discussion ran its course and turned into a mud slinging affair filled with politics and grandiose claims of all types. Fair warning...

For me, the thing is that this new version affects my interpretation of the song, puts the lyrics in a more desperate light, darker. So while I enjoy the original versions, I am not sure I felt the...

just found this one, huge ND fan here, so this is so neat

I had asked Hawktail mandolinist Dominick Leslie a few weeks ago if he was interested in being a guest DJ on my show on WTJU Charlottesville, and he said 'for sure' and we finally nailed down the...

I think it was unfortunate that LFH had to start its on-air life as the replacement/successor to PHC. They are very different shows, and it must have been tough for Thile to deal with a lot of the...

Chris introduced me to so many musicians that I would have not have known about if not for LFH.

Just heartsick...

The Live from Here house band has to be one of the best line-ups ever, and the shows when they had Haas, Jarosz, and O'Donovan were always my favorites.

Five years ago this month, I cornered Thile backstage at a show in Cincinnati and confirmed that he'd be taking over Prairie Home Companion. I wrote a short news story on my phone for Mandolin Cafe,...

On Saturday (three days ago) I unpacked a five year old Eastman mandola that I purchased used. Tuning it up, I noticed a problem with the bridge saddle intonation cuts. Saturday night I contacted...

I was looking through some old posts this morning and ran across a thread about practice tools. A website called www.fbbts.com (Free Bluegrass Backup Tracks) has a good selection of backup tracks in...

I received mine from Sweetwater ordered Thursday the 20th arrived Priority Mail on Monday the 24th - great service as always from Sweetwater ;-)

As for the "new" Thile pick I've only had about...

I was searching for Phish mandolin covers and came across this gem by a Japanese player named Hiroki Dewa. I found it absolutely beautiful and it only has 89 views. ...

TDPRI is a great one. Lots of good stuff, even for non-Tele players.

TalkBass is decent, if you're a bass player. Those two and the Cafe are my only music-chat sites.

I'm interested to read the suggestions here too. I'm on and off with Acoustic Guitar Forum. I think it's a valuable resource with a lot of very knowledgable people. But sometimes it also feels...

Acoustic Guirar Forum lost me when someone asked about an obscure mandolin and I said if they posted here, someone should know. The post was in the lightly traveled other stringed instruments...

I have never found a 'general' guitar forum that I was wild about - so I used to simply visit sites that were specific to certain guitars that I was learning about; (Gibson, Fender, Rickenbacker, Les...

AGF and the Unofficial Martin Guitar Forum are the ones I visit daily.

I tend to prefer the UMGF.

I got a few guitars!

I used to go to the AGF and also the unofficial martin guitar forum. These are a bit dated in their interface; however.

Want to discuss, Gibson, Taylor or Martin. That's...

Personally, I found Acoustic Guitar's forum hard to navigate and not very useful. Other disappointments include Harmony Central and Just Plain Folks.

Pops1 is right, a lot of the same folks that...
