I made a playlist called "Before Thile and Daves," offering the Sleep With One Eye Open album but using old recordings, mostly.

Before Thile and Daves...

This is a pretty cool story...

There is a report on The Irish Bouzouki Forum Facebook page that Andy's two instruments have been found at Copenhagen Airport and have been returned to him. I so hope this is true ....

Lots of great music.

I'm posting this here because many of us play guitar in addition to mando. And the fact that Tony's work reaches beyond just guitar, influencing other musicians no matter what instrument they play. ...

A few pics of "young" folkies for anyone interested in any of these guys.

Posting here because I know this will be of interest to mandolin players. Fiddle tunes are mando tunes, too, after all.;)

In case you haven't seen, there's a brand new book available containing...

My apologies to those who have seen this video but I’ve watched it 6 times in the last two days and can’t get enough. The combination of instruments is just awesome.

My very long-time local mando-pal Jeff Dearinger who owns one of the nicest K-4s from the Loar era is having Mike Black make him a mandocello so the old Gibson doesn't have to travel to their...

Jimmy Gaudreau is is one of my favourite musicians in Bluegrass. The ''Jimmy Gaudreau's Bluegrass Unit - Live in Holland'' recording is superb.
Here's one of my favourite tracks from it - ''This...

I always liked this lineup for The Unit, with Jimmy Gaudreau playing mandolin and singing harmony. You don't hear much about Jimmy Gaudreau these days. I've got a couple of his recordings and always...

...Literally.

This is a cool video anyway, but thought it was worth sharing as it's shot from a rare angle of below, out front, peghead-side. I learned a bit from watching The Man from this...

I thought I'd share this here with you as this kind of thing doesn't really happen to us. On Sunday, my son (Tai) got to open for John Reischman and the Jaybirds on Vancouver Island. Before the...

Putting this photo out here as it's easier to document this way vs. looking through old invoices. The original order of 10,000 stickers lasted 3 1/2 years. Here's what a re-order of 5,000...

It's nice to see how many people knew Orrin. I took lessons from him for about three months back around 2010. The only reason I stopped was due to my first bout of serious elbow tendonitis which...

Hey all,

Hello everybody!

Last year I pulled the trigger and ordered a Nugget mandolin from Mike Kemnitzer. I played Joe K. Walsh's Nugget and loved the responsiveness and general feel of the instrument...

Hey guys,
Longtime lurker here. I’m a Southern California picker of average ability who came back to mandolins a few years ago, after a long absence during which I mostly played electric bass....

I wrote the liner notes for the new David Grisman and Tony Rice CD. It needed to be edited quite a bit to fit the format, but I thought some might enjoy the unedited version, I did a lot of research...
