I really try and smile and make eye contact when I play but it's an effort. I also find that when I am really "into" it, a solo I actually have my mouth open and have drooled on my mandolin! ...

I totally know what you mean; I LOVE Strum Machine, just can't practice without it!

I've always named my mandolins and treated them as part of the family. I celebrate their birthdays too. "Lucy" is my latest mandolin, a beautiful Collings MF. My daughter named her for me.
