  1. Re: Long-term (1-2 years) storage of a mandolin

    It seems to me that if one possibility is leaving it hanging on the wall, that's not really storage, that's setting it aside. Have you acquired another mandolin that is more to your liking, so you're...
  2. Re: CGDA how is one supposed to play G#7 and A7 chords?

    Well, chords are chords, and are the same (or should be) in whatever book you look at. It's just a bit odd that some chords seem oddly missing from this one, as others have noted as well. The A7...
  3. Re: CGDA how is one supposed to play G#7 and A7 chords?

    For an A7 chord, try 1020 - that's C#GEA. This form shows up in the jbott chart as an A#7 chord, just up a fret (2131) - but oddly, not as an A7 chord.

    Re: Molly Tuttle On Tour

    Thanks, I hope I feel better, too - and soon. ;) I'd like to go, and there are a lot of great acts. It doesn't look like there is a campground where there will be picking, though, other than RV...

    Not to mention ('cause you didn't) Jerry Douglas, Bela Fleck, Peter Rowan, and Nickel Creek. ;)

    I wish the acts I want to see the most would be on one day, but that never happens. The strongest...

    :)) I can only imagine what they thought about the term "Florentine" in this context. Someone might well correct me, but I believe, after much discussion hereabouts, that the term is assumed to have...

    Re: Mandolin misunderstanding by young folk

    Good points, except ... well, some people can be pretty g-d- erroneous about grammar, diction and usage, speeling, pronunciation and capiTaliZation. :( There are rules, and it behooves speakers and...

    Northern California, no less - Palo Alto, Bay Area, even. ;) But she's been living in Nashville for almost ten years. Hence, the song "Down Home Dispensary," directed in large part to politicians,...

    Well, that was an excellent experience! Molly and the gang were all excellent - no surprise - but I learned something I couldn't have just from one song heard here and there - she is funny, and smart...

    Well, I am just one voice out of 58,282 in this forum, as of this writing, and as I say in my signature, "that's just my opinion. I could be wrong." But even though I'm largely self-taight in the...

    Re: Mandolin misunderstanding by young folk

    I'm fine with "electric mandolin." If you want to get into the specifics of solid-body or hollow-body, single-string or double-string, have at it. But the tuning in fifths is a key element. Don't...

    I haven't, just seen her on TV, Austin City Limits specifically, and at youtube. I think it was the "White Rabbit" video that got me interested, or kicked my interest up a notch or two. But I've...

    Re: Interesting "mandolino" by DW Snyder

    I was thinking something similar, but the other way around - that it's a prop, more for looking OK than functioning, per se. Such a short neck, only ten frets, with that decorative join. When you got...

    Yes, it does. I was looking at the straight line at the top of the third digit - more like a 5 than an 8.

    I like the Ren Faire theory, too. The image of the lutist, the "Santa Cruz" reference ......

    This just showed up. Here's a "mandolino" for Mando-lino.

    Four strings, not a ukulele.

    I daresay so. First things first, and we'll see about summer in good time.



    I'd expect so, too. I've heard she and Ketch are "an item." She's a fine catch, Ketch. :whistling:

  23. Re: What's better than an original Keith Haring?

    It does have this provenance on the back, simply stating "Haring on Mandolin." Looks to be in decent shape. Dunno about quality, though. Instrumental, that is, not ornamental. ;)
