I had a feeling the jam might not have continued. And, thank you Dennis for that generous evaluation. If I remember correctly, did you have a hearing difficulty or was that just me LOL

Thanks for reminding me about Randy Woods. I went there when I first moved to Hinesville but the hour drive got to be too much for my back to do. It's an excellent place with fine folks who have been...
Thanks for responding. You're about 2.5 hours away which would be a lot of travel for the 2 hours we get together on a weekday morning. Hope you find folks closer to you. I don't mean to answer for...
I live in Hinesville, Georgia and am looking for some folks closer than Savannah. I play guitar and mandolin at a mediocre level and am looking for people who enjoy casual song sharing in a living...
What are the exercises?
I've been playing guitar and mandolin for 40 years and I'm 69. In the last year or so, I'm having difficulty with my right hand accuracy. I don't believe it's arthritis, because there's no pain. I'm...
Thank you! I just ordered 3 sets so, hopefully that'll last me quite awhile!
I put a set of the XS on my MT. They are loud but don't have the sweetness of the EXPs or Elixirs. Any suggestions of other strings that might have the volume but also more mellow than the XS? I've...
I just hit my 69th birthday and my playing has gotten so sloppy. I can't hit the strings they way I used to nor can I play with any accuracy. I was never a top knot player, but it's hard letting go...
Thank god and thank you for catching this!!!!!
I just bought a set of the XS. Hopefully they will last as long as the Elixirs. We'll see....
All my usual stores are out of stock. Since D'Addario stopped making the EXP strings I loved so much, I've been on a hunt for a suitable replacement. Having used a set of the Elixir mediums, I...
I contacted the Savannah Folk Music folks but they didn't know of anyone near me. I will keep looking and remain hopeful.
Thank you all for your suggestions. I have been to Randy Wood's excellent shop and asked about musicians closer to me. I have been to the only music shop in town and asked about other musicians. I...
Thanks everyone for your feedback and help. I've been to Randy Woods, which is a wonderful place. Unfortunately, it's over an hour away and my back won't do the drive, then sitting for a jam and then...
I live in a small town in Southeast Coastal Georgia and, despite advertising for years in Craigslist and Facebook I've yet to find any other folks to jam with. Is anyone else in this situation? What...
I wasn't sure if there was a place to put this, but here it is. I have a family that wants lessons for their 7 year old daughter who has never played an instrument. I recommended a 3/4 size guitar...
Thank you !!!! What a difference just a slight turn has made. I'm so grateful for your help.
After having the frets dressed, my luthier friend reset the action, probably back to original specs. I prefer a slightly higher action. With an adjustable bridge, what are the possible pitfalls of...
The only response I've been getting to my Craigslist ad have been from Savannah, still about an hour away. Anyone closer?
As I cruise Youtube, it seems to me that I am seeing more folks playing A style mandolins. Having played this style of mandolin for a long time, I'm just wondering if anyone else has seen this? Not...
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just clicked on my saved link that was working this morning and the files were gone! When I did a Google search for tabledit files or mandozine I got a site that said mandozine, but didn't have...
I also mourn the loss of EXP strings. I just put on a set of the XTs. My initial impression is that they sound more muted than the EXPs. Also, since I used the medium EXPs on my MT, I also feel the...
Now I'm wondering about the difference between the Trinity College and Gold Tone mandolas? Anyone have experience with both of these to be able to make a comparison?
