Those are two brilliant sets! So glad that they were not consumed by the hard drive gods.
Dagger, always appreciate the attack and drive you put on your tunes. Have to pull out my copy of the...
Totally agree with Lost Sailor. I've been playing mandolin 45 years or so. The only other things that I'd add are bring a music friend with you if you're going to a shop. It's nice to have another...

Hello, I've been reading The Cafe for quite a while and thought that perhaps it was finally time to post a video. The tune is a Michel Faubert composition, which I learned from Pascal Gemm a few days...
Some excellent thoughts. You folks are giving me some good food for thought after I exhausted my known regional resources.
Thanks! Sent an email off to Gold Tone this morning. Hopefully they have what I'm looking for.
