Fair enough!

I've been working on Spencer Strickland's version of What Child is This. Didn't get it ready in time for Christmas, but finally got a passable take today.

Here is Spencer's version...

It's funny how I've heard this song probably hundreds of times, and somehow I always heard that line as "the tariffs took all my pay"...

Glad you cleared that up for me! Makes a lot more sense now

I didn't know that Clarence had a mandolin, so it was cool getting to hear it. I guess that is the same mandolin that is on the cover of Roland White's Christmas book. I wonder if there are any...

Thank you!

Here's Mill Valley Waltz off of the Tone Poems album. My mom and I have been working on this one and trying to figure out how to record together when we are in different states

Maybe some Brazilian Choro? It seems like there is a decent amount of instruction out there for it on the mandolin, so you wouldn't have to start from scratch.

Thanks, and nice title page! That's a big hat to fill...

Is this the article you were mentioning? It looks like a good one, and has lots of clips of his playing in it. I'll have to check it out.

Thanks John! It's actually a Bill Monroe tune. There's a video on youtube where he talks about writing it, and it sounds like he had some family from Scotland. I feel like the open drones, especially...

Mike, you are correct about the neck joint failing in the past. I went back to the original add from when I bought the instrument and saw that it was described as having "a screw in the neckjoint...

Thanks everyone! These are some good ideas, and I'm not exactly sure which one I will go with yet. Since the instrument isn't very valuable, I think it would be kind of fun to try and work on it...

Hey! I've enjoyed the Cafe for a long time, but am just posting for the first time now that I need your input on a question I have. :)

About two years ago, I bought a mandocello that had recently...
