    Re: Jack Tottle's book

    Bought it in college in 1978 or so, taught myself mandolin with it. At one point, after much painful brute force practice, I could play a passable, but sedate, version of the cross-picking Home Sweet...

    RIP Barry Harris

    The great pianist passed away yesterday. I had the privilege to study with his online weekly sessions for about 18 months. Learned a lifetime worth of material to practice.
