As a student, I think one of the most important things for me is to first learn enough chords so that I can accompany myself on some songs in a few different keys. This, for me, gives me a jump...
Welcome to the forum Erin! I'm pretty much a beginner too. You will find a lot of nice and very helpful folks here at the Cafe!
Great job! It really looks nice. I'm in awe of anyone with the patience to build a mandolin! I hope you keep building them.
Hmm. How about "The Rogue" or maybe "The Bean Blossom" - I wonder if it would increase their status...
Dixiecreek, your husband is a good dude!! The world needs more people like him!
It's always nice to hear positive stories like this! Hope she finds the Mando Samaritan!
Congrats Bob! That is great news and sounds like so much fun! I bet that will open a lot of doors for you to play in other venues. Go for it! Make sure to let us know how it turns out.

"Flatiron" - has a nice mando ring to it too! :mandosmiley:
