We have a 1971 Martin 5-35. Yes, I know. People don’t believe that there was ever a 5-35 produced by Martin. But they made at least one. We’ve even got the original factory hang tag; Martin listed...
Guy I know drives from Colorado across Utah and Nevada to Tahoe for an annual vacation. He bought a used Yeti cooler to hold two of his fiddles. It’s pretty large. Before he starts, he puts the Yeti...

Tickets for the 2021 Telluride Bluegrass Festival went on sale Friday May 7. Pretty outstanding line-up, as always. But pretty pricey. The festival this year will...
I grew up in rural north Louisiana. I’m just a simple country boy. Always have been, always will be. While I now live in Denver, memories of whippoorwills calling at twilight and the aroma of...
"Love Is On A Roll" really is a great song, but, like you, I thought that the line "I'm a songwriter, a professional dreamer" is one of the best lines ever penned. I pretty much adopted it as a...
You might try Uline. They have guitar boxes but not sure about mandolin sized. Unfortunately you may have to purchase more than one.

I've always enjoyed this song. It was recently re-released on his "Songs You Don't Know By Heart" album. This morning I stumbled across this video with Jimmy Buffett talking about it.

The Shmergel Devastator has long held that distinction.

Kate Wolf was another talent that was taken from us all too soon. She’s a staple in my music library and “Like A River” (the studio version) came up this morning. Thought I’d share a live version...
Received the following broadcast email from The Mandolin Store this morning. Text as follows as an FYI for those who may not have received it:
