Awesome! Thanks for supporting the Mandolin Cafe AND all of us pickers!

I know I'm getting older, so I could be wrong, but I recall meeting Jesse Brock at the '09 IBMA and congratulating him for player of the year. Am i really getting that old?

(Or did he get busted...

Very cool...I bought a V-Pick at IBMA a couple years ago. liked it but lost it at a gig. Would love to try them again!

Thank you, Rob! The book is for real - much more detailed and thorough than I expected. I believe I'll give this a try - my fear has abated thanks to you!

Please add me to the list. Always great things happening here on the Cafe!

I was skeptical at first but quickly overcame my skepticism. I've taken many lessons in my time where you go to the teacher's house on Wednesday night and by Saturday you've totally forgotten what he...

Can't play mando well
Never get the right hand right
But I still wear hats

Excellent video - I remember seeing someone there with a very nice looking camera - probably was you! I didn't see any Cafe garb there so I didn't recognize anyone. Thanks for sharing - brought back...

That's some very nice work there - I gotta tip my hat to you - maybe twice!

Channel 279. On my package it's in the Lifestyle and Culture section.
And yes, there appear to be many shows with tractors playing a dominant role! Oh well - the music is good.:grin:

Awesome! Thanks for the tip - I don't know how I missed this before. Perhaps I have too many channels! Too bad, too, I'm heading back to the states at the end of this month. But I'll check it out...

I've had this on my desktop for several years now. The original picture was taken by Dan, I think. I photoshopped the background to make it all black.

Great idea! This is just another example of the professional level I've come to appreciate with this forum. Please change "MC Gitarz" to Milan Christi.

I just listened to the album - the level of musicianship is in the stratosphere. I'm anxious to see the video but it will be a while until the hard copy arrives. The download feature offered by...

And the mutt in my avatar is named Arlo - but I doubt that your cat and my mutt would get along much less write any cool tunes! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

Splendid! All the way around. I find nothing missing on the high end at all but the low end is truly rich! Very nice pickin' by the way. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/blues.gif

I downloaded the album from iTunes on the day it was released and have listened to it almost every day since. I'm very favorably impressed with the overall musicianship and arranging - top flight in...

That's fun to watch - I like their work ethic - and the music always turns out great.

The Weight

At the risk of "piling on" - I just got my McClung armrest today and noticed an immediate improvement of my wrist and hand position. Very comfortable and beautifully handcrafted. Thanks for the tip,...

My pick pouch currently has a Dawg, a Blue Chip, a Red Bear, a Wegen and my old standby - a plain, old D'Andrea Classic. I just can't get the Dawg to work for me - but I must say it took me a l-o-n-g...

Sounds r-e-a-l-l-y nice to me - across the board - I have no nits. Your voice is fine - full of character.

Only critique - a bridge section would be nice.

What? No Arches?


(btw - I sent an...

I think it sounds downright pretty! Seems to have a lot of resonance. The upper register is well supported by a full-bodied lower register.

I've had mine for a week now. It's pretty darned impressive. I've been doing comparisons between my Red Bear, Wegen and the Blue Chip and I can't really say it's head-and-shoulders above the rest but...
