Is it a pill or injection?
Thank you, Allen!
Hey 8-stringers - This question really belongs over at banjocafe.net, but I can’t seem to access the forum over there and registration at the site is closed so I am posting here. I played on one of...
That’s about the size of it. For all we know, the definitive version of BB was played in the parking lot of a festival by a group of folks who never played together until that afternoon, and wasn’t...
The first tune is St. Anne’s Reel. Hoping someone here would be kind enough to help me identify the other tunes in this medley.
Thanks in advance for any assistance I may receive!

I took Sharon’s workshop at Walker Creek Music Camp some years ago. It was like drinking from a fire hose - an incredible amount of incredibly useful information, crammed into three short half-days....
What a wonderful surprise to see this interview at the cafe. I’m savoring every moment of John’s newest recording, which is amazing. Full agreement, Nick - Tristan really did a fantastic job.
There’s another thread somewhere here at the cafe forum (maybe more than one - probably more than one....) that has a link to this YouTube video with one of the single most helpful resources I have...
Dawg has several books of transcriptions each devoted to a different dimension of his oeuvre.
Great profile, and an important conversation. Thank you for this feature article!
Nearly six-fold thicker.....
Thanks so much to the OP for alerting us to these - I have a half dozen of the X-stiff large triangular ones on their way!
Just shows how subjective and variable these things are - I’ve tried many Wegens and none have worked for my particular grip or attack or whatever, but I know there are many, many players for whom...
I have three of them. They are great picks - and less expensive than Red Bears, which are also casein. For a casein pick on a budget, the Fender Tru Shells are nice, but the bevels are much less...
Ok that pykmax thing is bizarre...
Just when you thought there was nothing left up those pick manufacturer's sleeves, they hit us with this.
I was mesmerized the whole way through. Tony Williamson’s deep knowledge and wonderful playing were delightful to behold. Thank you so much for posting this treasure!!
I had to learn more about...
Thanks! Yes - I got SBH under my fingers then moved on to Inverness. The rhythm part for Inverness is still a work in progress. Joe’s crosspicking is so beautiful - those subtle little runs and...
They are reasonably sturdy little buggers. As long as it is in its case I don’t think flat or on the side really matters (avoiding any heavy weight on the case that could distort it so much that the...
This tune - Inverness - was written by John Mailander and he plays it on an octave mandolin. Took me a bit to get those crooked measures down, but once it gets in your fingers it's hard to stop...
Here’s a link for a builder selling on Etsy. A buddy of mine just bought one of his mandolas and it quite pleased with it. He said that he did a minor tweak to some areas of the finish after...
The more I use that little Kyser the more I like it. I used Kysers on my guitars for ages. Then a couple of years ago I discovered the new Shubb fine tune capos and have used them ever since (but I...
Hope you are back on your feet very soon, Dennis. So sorry you are facing this health crisis.
It’s pretty much how Joe K. Walsh teaches it in his Peghead Nation course (except played on an OM instead of mando ;-) so I can’t really take credit for anything but the mistakes.....
When I began playing mandolin a while back (wow - a decade ago based on my join date at the cafe) my wife wanted to support my new hobby so on some subsequent gift-giving day like my birthday or...
