    Re: Performing in a sport coat

    I've never really cared what anyone wore while they were performing. I've seen some slick looking people that couldn't play their way out of a paper bag, and some that looked just this side of...

    Re: Mandolin sighting on Framed.wtf

    I love drop-down menus and lists, just not ones giving me hints and multiple choice solutions when I'm playing games, and I'm consistently successful at Wordle without using them. Just different...

    Re: Mandolin sighting on Framed.wtf

    The site appears to be very sensitive...I put in what turned out to be the correct answer by the second guess and was told each time it was incorrect. I'd left out a comma.

    Re: To be or not to be (a bluegrass player)

    No Bluegrass for me...in fact, I think the reason it took me so long to come around to realizing I actually liked the mando was that the only place I heard mandolin played was in all the BG music my...

    Re: Jerry Rosa & Rosa String Works

    The only vids I've watched of this guy are the guitar ones. If you drop into the UMGF (Unofficial Martin Guitar forum) there are vids posted showing the atrocities he commits on vintage Martins. It's...

    Re: Astroturf Noise

    I like the word "cacophony"...it's a polite way of describing a collection of screeching, grating and unnerving sounds mixed together with no sense of harmony.

    Re: What's the big deal about changing strings?

    I'm another one of those guys who doesn't see changing strings (whether on my mandolin or one of my guitars) to be a chore or anything to rush thru...I'm not on a mission...

    I relax, take my time,...

  10. Re: RSW's Jerry Rosa & The Mysterious Sam Bush Upside-Down Truss

    I'm nowhere near an expert on instrument repair or maintenance, so I tend to watch some videos of this nature...

    I've watched a few of Rosa's vids, but for me, he comes across as snarky, and so...

    Re: Mandolin Orange is now Watchhouse

    I'm a longtime fan of Mandolin Orange, and always found the name of the band a bit whimsical and it just rolls so trippingly off the tongue... :)

    Watchhouse... not so much...

    And the new song...

    Re: Help identifying old Gibson?

    I have to say, I didn't notice the truss rod cover, but yes, those are some scratches on the bass side...

    Re: Sierra Hull on Steven Colbert

    I'm not a big fan of Bluegrass to begin with, but since picking up a mandolin awhile back, I've found that I appreciate mandolin, banjo and fiddle a great deal...just not hardcore BG...
