Pete - Barb and I send our best. Take care, and speedy recovery !!
RIP Butch. I never met you, but your music will always be with me.
Lief's playing an octave mandolin, so we're safe here.
John Jordan's here in Concord CA. A few years ago I was talking to him about building a bouzouki for me, but I went with somone else far...
"Gilchrist is a pretty good picker."
I sat right behind him in the Bluegrass ensemble at this year's Mandolin Symposium, and can vouch for the fact that he's a fine picker, indeed.
He let me...
Count me in.

Thanks !!
Absolutely. It should be one of those watermelon mandolins that I've seen. :))
On the unknown British mandolin players question, who plays the Mandolin part on the Stones tune "Factory Girl" on "Beggars Banquet"?
I'm pretty sure it was Ry Cooder. Keith was sending a lot of...
I'd love to see a Zappa tribute CD from Dawg and past and present bandmates.
Imagine Darol Anger ripping it up on "Willie the Pimp".
"Shut up "N Play Yer Mandolin".
I like it !!

I like the Brigadoon analogy. #I'll have to remember that.
Sometimes I get pretty burned out by the bickering that can go on in this little community, but this is the sort of thing that keeps me coming back.
This made my day.
Thanks, guys !!

Jeff, if you don't take your mandolin, you're going to go nuts. #It's just not natural for a player to go 3 weeks without his (or her) instrument. #
Even if there are no jamming opportunities,...
I have short fingers, and I used to think that I'd never get the bluegrass power chords. #My mandolin teacher said two words to me: "Roland White".
That was enough. #I went to work, and I'm...

Happy Birthday, Scott !!

I would guess that Jethro Burns' 1959 Gibson A-5 might have inspired that notion.
Check out Tempest. #Lief Sorbye is a fine mandolin player.

It sounded good.

Barb and I had 4 hours of workshops today at Gryphon Strings with Matt. #The double stops exercises were the best that I've seen, and these were among the best workshops that I've ever attended.
