As an (infrequent) buyer and seller of on-line used instruments, I expect to provide and receive a 48-hour approval period and you are certainly not out of line in asking for one. If your seller...
I watched this great example of "The Man" at work, and could not find it posted before. I don't think Bill ever suffered stage fright. What a performer!:mandosmiley:...
I quite enjoyed that! I appreciated that he was just going around IBMA and asking the fellow mandolin players in the biz. I appreciate that it wasn’t all that serious too. I don’t think he’s trying...

While we're at it, Johnny...

One of my first music heroes passed a couple days ago. He along with his partner Sylvia Friker first impressed me when I was just 11 years old. I saw them in concert at a small local college and...
There are no rules. play for the fun of it and ignore anyone who puts limits on you.
I'm reminded of reading AutoGuide forum and someone asking which tires to put on his XKE :)
I'm not sure this mandolin is the necessarily the nicest mandolin I've seen, but it has the most meaning. I attended a class in Nashville held by Butch Baldassari. I had just bought a Stiver from...
