  1. Re: Tonedevil FM product feedback requests

    Re: Shane MacGowan has passed (NMC)

    Wow! Now that is interesting. The song was a modest hit when it was released, but it has really become such a fixture of seasonal playlists that it is very surprising you had never heard it. Here's a...

    Re: Shane MacGowan has passed (NMC)

    Probably my all-time musical hero. Fairytale is truly without equal as far as seasonal songs from contemporary artists, but Christmas also features in perhaps my favorite Pogues song:

    Ruby Mae Shiels

    Just came across this artist on YouTube--new to me but turns out she was featured on Mandolin Mondays a couple of years ago. As usual Dave B is way ahead of the curve! This recent video is a real...

    Re: Guitar and mandolin anyone?

    Thanks, Brad! I know that an OP can't moderate discussion on their own post, but I realize that I missed the mark (badly) with my choice of title. My intention was precisely to call attention to this...

  11. Re: Amazon Pricing on Kentucky Mandolins

    Nope, but that is the regular retail price in Canada--that's about $640 US. Now that is a great price on the 950, even though it will need a full set up when it arrives. $1030 CAD is around $760 US.
  12. Re: Amazon Pricing on Kentucky Mandolins

    This 950 will drop even lower unless someone grabs it now—I got my 950 a few years ago for around what that 150 is going for. It would be kind of cool to see a 950 going for the same price as the...
  13. Re: Amazon Pricing on Kentucky Mandolins

    A couple of years ago amazon.ca (Canadian amazon) had a KM-1500 for $1800 CDN (so less than $1500 USD). I really wish I had snapped it up and just lived with the guilt. I did get a KM-950 for around...

    Thanks for this report. Please post more updates so other may live vicariously through you! The mandolin lineup alone--Thile, Marlin, Hoyer--is outstanding, not to mention the list of other musicians.
