Annnddd.... TOO MANY GREAT ACTS TO EVEN LIST!!!

Hope you feel better!

It's 9-10 hours each way for us - last year we had to drive straight home for a 10 pm :disbelief::crying: sound check. ...

Good points, especially when it comes to forumspeak.....:whistling:

I think on this forum we have a better than average grasp on language basics, especially when compared to other music and...

I was working in Florence some time back and was sitting in a park one morning playing the F-style mandolin I brought with me overseas.

A couple of Italian old boys came by to see what I was...

Nobody's right and nobody's wrong when it comes to language. But we are all interested. You'd think musicians, being a little poetic, could come up with some more endearing names for the subtle...

Great reportage there!

You do know, she is from California, right? ;)

But, yeah, she and the band do well in their stretching a bit, and I welcome it. Gotta make a living, after all, and she’s...

I agree. What defines the human race? Language. We just need to have a specific word for everything. I've got a mandolin and a "4 string electric mandolin" It's about time we come up with a better...

I can't make it down for this one, but have been to a couple of the Tuckfest shows at the Whitewater center. It is a beautiful venue to see a show. The manmade river used for whitewater training runs...

If you've listened to their CD's you know what to expect. Their live performances are flawless. Top notch musicians all the way around.

At 67, with 50 years of mandolin playing behind me, I'm glad to be counted among the "young people who misunderstand the mandolin".
Fortunately for me, I stopped worrying about other people's...

thanks journeybear. It's so simple when you know how! Signature corrected.

I have a very similar view on your definition of ignorance. I am a strong proponent of being a lifelong student in everything I care about, so that's a title I can genuinely carry some pride in. From...

Found one for me too. Might make a good band name too if it isn't taken. :)





Gotta look at it the positive way: uniting the online mandolin community under a common banner!

Worth either or both trips.

"So am not dictating what makes a mandolin, was just aware of reading here of crass ignorance of what a mandolin actually is to sum it up. Not what many here would agree, but if they have never been...

For storage, just make sure that the relative humidity stays in a reasonable range; ideally, 40% to 50%, but practically, a wider range will be OK, especially on the higher end. Too dry is the worst....

The Victorian era ended in 1901. In that time, they also recommended cigarettes for asthma, chloroform for hiccups, cocaine for toothaches, and strychnine as a nice energy booster.



"I am...

Imagine someone shredding on his eight-string in front of a crowd when suddenly one breaks. There are only seven now. The crowd starts screaming.

"What the hell is that?!" wails an old bluegrass...

May I humbly remark that, when using other languages for comparison, one should be careful not to confuse grammatical and natural gender; they are not necessarily identical. A number of grammatically...

In most languages it is feminine.

In Spanish it's feminine - la mandolina
In French it's feminine - la mandoline
in German it's feminine - die mandoline
in Dutch it's feminine
In Russian it's...

About 15 years ago I got asked to play the music for the wedding of my wife's friend. She really loved the melody of the above song but the...

I'd get one just for the day pass!

Thanks,enjoyed the videos.

Interesting. That hand shaper for the neck was like one I worked with raising door panels, friction clamped knife head, not for an unskilled hand or the faint of heart. And the lack of respirators...
