    Re: Mandolin misunderstanding by young folk

    Holy wow! :disbelief: I am stunned to learn there is precedence for this juxtaposition of words. I was simply reacting to dylandekk's apparent tweaking of the OP by co-opting one of his phrases. But...

    Re: Mandolin misunderstanding by young folk

    Reminds me of the philosophy of sculpture espoused by Michelangelo, and I'm sure many others, my mother included:

    Re: Molly Tuttle On Tour

    I daresay so. First things first, and we'll see about summer in good time.



    I'd expect so, too. I've heard she and Ketch are "an item." She's a fine catch, Ketch. :whistling:

    Thanks for this. Always good to find something positive after struggling through ... whatever! :whistling:

    Molly Tuttle On Tour

    I am tremendously psyched to have been notified that Molly Tuttle and Golden Highway are touring and coming fairly close to me. And for free! :disbelief: They will be playing at what is ostensibly an...

    Re: Mandolin misunderstanding by young folk

    What's the other one? And I also wonder, have you put any thought into why you are so dismissive of others' viewpoints right from the get-go, and condescending to boot?

  7. Re: What's better than an original Keith Haring?

    It does have this provenance on the back, simply stating "Haring on Mandolin." Looks to be in decent shape. Dunno about quality, though. Instrumental, that is, not ornamental. ;)

    Oh, yay! Something I know something about and can help. OK, it's pretty easy, but even a small victory is a victory, and I'll take it. ;)

    Re: Mandolin misunderstanding by young folk

    Perhaps at one time, and for a while, but not originally, nor in these modern times, completely. Makers now produce mandolins with four and five courses, in both double- and single-string...

    Re: Mandolin Gender

    Aha. Yes, I've noticed instances of this in French. The word for world, "monde," ends with "e," usually an indication of a feminine word, yet it is masculine. Also, the word for egg, "oeuf," is...

    Thanks for that. There IS something so feminine about a mandolin.

    In my extremely limited experience in this context, I've found that "At Last" is an overwhelming favorite. (That's a more impressive way of saying two out of three times. :grin: ) I assume there was...
  16. Re: What happened to this poor Gibson "A4"?

    The logo's script is wrong for 1921.

    The listing has been "corrected" to A, which is still incorrect. More likely A-00, A-40, A-50. I'm not the best with these.

    Yes, it "has obvious signs of...

    That was my first thought. :grin:

    Also, I take both my beater and my best instrument on board in a soft gig bag with a shoulder strap. It's thin enough to slide under the seat, and otherwise flies...

    You're welcome, any thime. The chord names are the same, and that's most of what matters. There will be bass note indications, which usually can be made to work as a sort of walk-down - which is...
