Yes please change mine to "Dave Simmons"
Thank you

My experience is similar, in 1983 I bought a new Kentucky KM1500 "Sumi era". Over the years I wanted to "step up" to a better Mandolin, but found I would have to spend several thousand dollars to...

It sounds as if this is a new mandolin since this is the first time you restrung it, if that's the case restring is just like playing, it gets better with practice, you might take it to the shop...

This is a great question, in 1983 I bought a new Kentucky KM1500, certainly all I could afford, but I soon determined that I would have to spend 5 or 6 thousand dollars to get to get a BETTER...

I really appreciate this annul list, saying what's "the best" only starts arguments but for me, Butch's Evergreen is as magical today as it was the day it first came out. The tone, the taste, the...

As an option you might check out the JBL EON 1 system, it is a "stick", like the Bose system only much less expensive. We replaced out entire PA system with one for a Beatles 60's rock band, plenty...

Thanks Jeannie!!!

Again please, the first chord to Thunderstruck???

Appearing with the Pearly gates mandolin quartet...Friday, 7:00PM to infinity.

YO!!! Customer service...I ask for one thing, I asked for a canoe, a simple canoe, no motor, just a canoe...how hard is that???

I love Kentucky mandolins, I have had a KM1500 since I purchased it new in 1983, sure there are better mandolins, but I feel I would have to spend a LOT more than mine is worth to get something...

I love the rich tones that Butch Baldassari achieved on Evergreen, no sewing machine just sweet melody and rich tone...

I think this is a good program and a worthy cause, so here is another way to look at donating: We have lost so many wonderful musicians prematurely over the years, and some of them have had a huge...

I agree mandoplumb, in nearly all cases that I have encountered, those who put it down had NEVER listened to it. Even my wife used to refer to the vocals as "yeowling and howling", she could just...

This reminds me of Steve Earle discussing his song Copperhead Road, he said someone had told him he was playing the mandolin all wrong and he replied, "how can I be playing it wrong, I wrote the damn...

Looked to me as if he AND the band were REALLY having fun as well as showcasing some nice acoustic (bluegrass styled) instrumentation, and the audience seemed really enjoy it.

I detected NO...

I recently acquired this vintage photo of two mandolins and two guitars from a small Kansas town, I thought some here might enjoy seeing it.

Pretty sure I have some Golden Gate mando picks I no longer use, PM me and i will send you a couple also.

Just me but I prefer the Wegen m150's in white (in case I drop it), and as many here, I have tried and own the Dawg's, the "V" picks (which I really liked), BC's and on and on, but before the Wegens...

Thank you all for the warm welcome!!!

Oh man, they told me is was an Asprin...

Well, after "lurking in the shadows" for several years, after reading this post "I've seen a lot of visitors to the site, why not come in ?", I decided it was time to "come in"...please be gentle.
