Bill:

Do you like Ricky Skaggs? I am currently reading his autobiography "Kentucky Traveler". It's a bit of a history book too because he talks about the time he got to perform with Bill...

Lovely tune. Thanks for sharing.

I know that due to covid-19, Fedex has a no signature policy in order to avoid contact. But I don't understand why they signed your name. Maybe the drivers were instructed to do so?

The MT-O and the MT have different nut widths. One is 1 1/8" and the other is 1 3/16". So is this technically really a setup problem?

Ricky Skaggs has an autobiography. I haven't read it yet but I am itching to get it.

Fred: That was a lot of fun! I enjoyed it. Thanks for bringing some holiday cheer.

I am new to the mandolin. Only started playing in June of this year. Even I have heard of Andy Statman. Great musician!

Very nice ABrown. Thanks for sharing.

I just did that very thing today. Jammed with 4 friends in a park, kept our distance, didn't shake hands. It felt good to be jamming again after being isolated since April. I'm not young but I lead...

That's an interesting question. The Webster definition of musicality is "sensitivity to, knowledge of, or talent for music". I don't think talent can be taught. It's something that is within you.

That was great Sergio. Thanks for sharing.

That was quite good Greg. Thanks for sharing.

Guitar - Scott Nygaard (I like the tone he gets out of his guitar from watching his Peghead Nation videos).
Mandolin - David Grisman
