    I would stay in Franklin or Hendersonville and then do the 25 minute commute into Nashville. Make sure you check out the insanely run Thursday open mike (must get tix in advance!) at Fox & Locke...

    Re: Crossrock Mandolin Cases

    Certainly light in weight...

    In that price range I would seriously consider Northfield's Tura case.

    Re: Gibson's 1923 F-5 Master Model Reissue

    The first Lloyd Loar F5 I ever owned (a Feb.18th with a Virzi) was the cleanest Gibson mandolin I ever owned or bought... and I have owned and bought several in my increasingly longer lifetime. I...

    Re: Monteleones at Rudy’s

    Rudy has been in the game a long, long time. Hard to believe that 48th Street, much like 52nd Street, is now just a distant memory... :(

    Re: Gibson's 1923 F-5 Master Model Reissue

    I believe these Master Models will prove to be very, very good instruments. They will not be 1923 Lloyd Loar F5s however, so don't go in expecting that.

    I have noticed a wide-nut trend, an arm-rest trend, a rubber grommet trend, a tone-rite trend, a tone-guard trend, a super-heavy pick trend and a $1,000 case trend.
