I try not to get too bent out of shape any more about this kind of thing.
I thought the world was gonna end with Disco, but it didn't. Then there was the Designated Hitter, and Rap. Life goes on...

Except when it's we as songwriters defending our copyrights. Then the shoe is on the other foot.
Swamp Dogg is a hoot. Saw him at the Lowell Folk Festival a few years back; his mother opened up for him! She sang "I'm 86 and still playing with the boys."
When a guy writes a song like "The Love...
Battery life is great because of the auto-shutoff, an essential feature for those of us who are old and feeble-minded.
I'm a big fan of the Unitune. Works nicely on everything from my mando to my...
Excellent playing. Very creative, and it swings. Best version I've heard of that old chestnut.
An RM50 was my first mandolin. I got it from Elderly so it was nicely set up, no problems with the tailpiece or anything. I thought it was a pretty nice little mandolin for the money (probably about...
A bit off-topic, but a lot of fun:

Great job, Mike.
If there are four chord changes in one bar, that's jazz.
Thanks for reminding me. I need to call that one more often.
The only song I have ever banned at any of my jams is "Sylvia's Mother." It's my jam, and I don't like it, and that's reason enough.
I would never call Wagon Wheel but don't mind playing it if...
I had one some years ago and wouldn't particularly recommend them. It wasn't awful but there was nothing special about it. For $450 you could do better.
You didn't miss much in 2021, when we were all wearing masks while jamming. Made it tough to sing, even tougher to play harmonica.
I have these on my Blueridge tenor.
Who could possibly be interested in information that's over 20 years old? I am throwing out all my music theory and instruction books published before 2003. And my complete works of Shakespeare too!
There is a name for this kind of behavior, and it's not "kind" or "considerate."
Oh, and Joe, paragraphs, please!
Playing a mandolin with a capo just isn't done. Like playing a right-handed guitar left-handed just isn't done (right Jimi? right Albert?) or playing a bass guitar with a pick (right Macca?)
Evidently 'mandola' is not a word, according to the Times.
I have one hanging on my wall I would let go for $20. All it needs is a neck reset and slap on a pickup.
It must come with an anvil.
"Shipping Weight: 49 lbs.
Actual Weight: 3.2 lbs."
That explains that, but where is the rest of the Family Stone?
I asked Santy Claus for Jimi Hendrix's mandolin. Or at least his ocarina.
Maybe. Or maybe you would have jumped out a window in 1929.
No doubt that is true. But it's funny how you see so many old Kay, Harmony, Sivertone, etc. instruments showing up for ridiculous prices these days. They were junk back then but I guess they're cool,...
Just tried this one and it worked great! Many thanks!
