really good, nicely rooted, strong bluesy playing!
thanks for all this great Givens info!
Scott, that was my F you played at Folk Alliance some years ago, a great memory for me, as well. Maybe all mandolins sound better in a stairwell at whatever...
sweet, thanks, guys! Yes, the saddle sags as there's a crack on the bass side. I guess Bernunzio's is really an A-50, as it looks identical.
yea, there's a slight blemish where the pickguard was, but not bad. This is the first oval hole I've owned, so likely to keep it for now. It's in practically new condition, so it needs some banging...
yes, the Bernunzio example looks exactly the same!

No label, no serial or FON #s.

Looks like a fairly major camp I was set to teach at next month is going to cancel. Pretty big financial hit for me, but I can certainly keep it in perspective with how many people's lives are in...
There can never be enough said about Jethro, but your coverage does the man and his music justice. Well done!
This was brought in by a student of mine, recently given to her by her mother, who still lives in England. Mom was apparently quite the folkie back in the 60s and 70s, rubbing shoulders with the...

Haven't heard the new album besides the videos, but some of the first non-bluegrass mandolin I dug was his playing, particularly Billy the Kid and Hey Porter, both from Into the Purple Valley. He's...
What's the worst that could happen??
