Now he will be in the hall on his own.
Excellent!
Sam Bush performed during the ceremony announcing IBMA award nominees, just before IBMA's Paul Schiminger broke the news. Wilma Lee Cooper is also being inducted as an early influence....

I'm sure...
In more proof that the mandolin is destined to take over the universe, it showed up in tonight's episode of the comedy improv show "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"

Andrew and Emily of Mandolin Orange have been busy.
They have another batch of tie-dyed "More Mandolin" T-shirts going on sale next week.
From their Instagram page:
We love you=we tie-dyed...
Among the reasons to chuckle at this video: 1. He doesn't remember the lyrics of this big hit. 2. His daughter does know them and can harmonize with his lead. 3. He says, "You know how big a hit this...

Champ's son Warren also plucks the fiddle with a mandolin style in a present-day version of Uncle Walt's Band's "Getaway."
Watch it here.

It was so good, I added an extra "i" in the title line. :mandosmiley:

Cool video. I assume the host has never heard of the citrus reticulata (mandarin orange).
Andrew, if you're still monitoring this thread, please let me know if you would like an extra copy of the...
It was cool to see a blurb about the new album in Billboard.

It was on sale Friday at a Joe Newberry show in Raleigh, N.C., featuring Mike Compton. I believe at least five of the CDs on sale that night had Mike Compton contributions.
Enjoyable CD.
Mike plays lead on all 16 tracks. As he explains in the liner notes, Norman Blake decided to stick with the accompanist's role.
