Thank you, Sue. I haven't been lurking here much lately and it is amazing that I saw this. Your praise and support are both appreciated!

Thanks, Sue. I can think of at least a hundred other things I could be doing instead of this project that are just bad ideas. At least this one, one day for someone, will produce some good. Fingers...
Forgot to post the pic. Here ya go...

Anybody who wants to know why there has been no podcast this week, this is why. Tunnel vision!
I have been foolin’ with this over a good many years. Last week some force overtook me and I sprang for the fretwire and binding and am racing towards the finish line, pun or not. Thanks, Luthier's...

Years ago I saw the value in working around the circle of fifths. (And fourths.) And, since you asked “how...

You just know. Sometimes you will think you know and later discover that you were wrong.
But it’s like “true love”. Asking others (if they agree) might make you feel better but you have to make...
I am hurt. *sniff sniff* haha
The last time (in a different mag) I got a nice write up for my stuff they spelled my name wrong and got the website wrong.
Carry on. Love BU!
How's about this for starters: http://www.bradleylaird.com/playthemandolin/videos-what-is-a-doublestop.html
And then there is this:...

Welcome to the mando world. I saw that Mark mentioned my material and he is correct that it is recorded video. (Thanks for the mention, Mark!)
I want to mention a couple other things...
I thought they ALL had it. (Instruction books—except Grismans—he starts with a tune in B)
It is a beautiful number for a multitude of reasons. And, man, do I love biled cabbage. With corn bread...
Bradeasly (great name)
That is a good haul! You have one I don’t have.
I did a podcast called Mandolin Heroes and am somewhat surprised by the lack of response. I thought, surely, that this would be right up the alley of the Cafe Crowd. But what do I know?
I...
Just put out a podcast with “Jason” here: http://www.bradleylaird.com/podcast/episode-165-show-notes.html
To Sherry and anyone interested.
For the record I encourage all players to learn both systems—in fact I did a recent podcast discussing tab and standard and 3 other ways we learn.
Regarding...
You should see my mandolin. Dragged to over 2,000 gigs. Dents and dings mean nothing to me. Nor do slight imperfections in naturally grown wood. What does it sound like? And, to top it off, to help...
Eric, that is cool. I’ve never seen that “pancake” brochure. From the ebay pics it looks like the also have the carved top brochure tucked inside.
That may be the same one (1985) that I have. It...
Jeff: I originally thought duct tape or a couple of Mandolin Cafe stickers.
Thanks, Phil. Honestly I was leaning towards black but white seemed interesting and certainly reversible. I can see a silk top hat in order.
Just a week or two ago I did a podcast on this very subject. Enjoy!

Hello Friends
What began as a backup mandolin for me while my 85 Flatiron was in for a refret, this particularly nice early Eastman 815 (which even made an appearance in my videos) was handed off...
Grisman nails it in that video. It's something I have muttered many times. I might have even said it clearly a time or two to my students or on the podcast. "Improvisation is just high pressure, high...
Thanks Double E!
That is what I try to do. My thing is to think—clearly if possible—, post rarely, and if I do, make it worth the thumb typing on this stupid iPod.
And something I forgot to...
Eric, I am not trying to be a wiseguy here. I am just curious to get more information.
In that spirit of discovery I would ask:
1. How many Bill Monroe albums have you listened to? You should...
I recently recorded two grasstalkradio.com podcasts on this very subject. You might enjoy them. They are #129 and #130.
