Thanks, I hope I feel better, too - and soon. ;) I'd like to go, and there are a lot of great acts. It doesn't look like there is a campground where there will be picking, though, other than RV...

Not to mention ('cause you didn't) Jerry Douglas, Bela Fleck, Peter Rowan, and Nickel Creek. ;)

I wish the acts I want to see the most would be on one day, but that never happens. The strongest...

:)) I can only imagine what they thought about the term "Florentine" in this context. Someone might well correct me, but I believe, after much discussion hereabouts, that the term is assumed to have...

Good points, except ... well, some people can be pretty g-d- erroneous about grammar, diction and usage, speeling, pronunciation and capiTaliZation. :( There are rules, and it behooves speakers and...

Northern California, no less - Palo Alto, Bay Area, even. ;) But she's been living in Nashville for almost ten years. Hence, the song "Down Home Dispensary," directed in large part to politicians,...

Well, that was an excellent experience! Molly and the gang were all excellent - no surprise - but I learned something I couldn't have just from one song heard here and there - she is funny, and smart...

Well, I am just one voice out of 58,282 in this forum, as of this writing, and as I say in my signature, "that's just my opinion. I could be wrong." But even though I'm largely self-taight in the...

I'm fine with "electric mandolin." If you want to get into the specifics of solid-body or hollow-body, single-string or double-string, have at it. But the tuning in fifths is a key element. Don't...

I haven't, just seen her on TV, Austin City Limits specifically, and at youtube. I think it was the "White Rabbit" video that got me interested, or kicked my interest up a notch or two. But I've...

I was thinking something similar, but the other way around - that it's a prop, more for looking OK than functioning, per se. Such a short neck, only ten frets, with that decorative join. When you got...

Yes, it does. I was looking at the straight line at the top of the third digit - more like a 5 than an 8.

I like the Ren Faire theory, too. The image of the lutist, the "Santa Cruz" reference ......

This just showed up. Here's a "mandolino" for Mando-lino.

Four strings, not a ukulele.

Looks like 1955 to me.

Holy wow! :disbelief: I am stunned to learn there is precedence for this juxtaposition of words. I was simply reacting to dylandekk's apparent tweaking of the OP by co-opting one of his phrases. But...

Reminds me of the philosophy of sculpture espoused by Michelangelo, and I'm sure many others, my mother included:

“The sculpture is already complete within the marble block, before I start my...

I daresay so. First things first, and we'll see about summer in good time.



I'd expect so, too. I've heard she and Ketch are "an item." She's a fine catch, Ketch. :whistling:

Thanks for this. Always good to find something positive after struggling through ... whatever! :whistling:

And kudos to you for your new user title. :)) I doubt I would ever go there, embedding...

I am tremendously psyched to have been notified that Molly Tuttle and Golden Highway are touring and coming fairly close to me. And for free! :disbelief: They will be playing at what is ostensibly an...

What's the other one? And I also wonder, have you put any thought into why you are so dismissive of others' viewpoints right from the get-go, and condescending to boot?



Oh, yes, you are....

It does have this provenance on the back, simply stating "Haring on Mandolin." Looks to be in decent shape. Dunno about quality, though. Instrumental, that is, not ornamental. ;)

Opening bid is...

Just reposting the image for ease in viewing here.

Indeed. I just want to point out that the OP isn't helping much with the evolution of this discussion with his posts, which are replete with authoritarian pronouncements, dismissive assertions, and...

Oh, yay! Something I know something about and can help. OK, it's pretty easy, but even a small victory is a victory, and I'll take it. ;)

All the way at the top of the page is a row of five...

Perhaps at one time, and for a while, but not originally, nor in these modern times, completely. Makers now produce mandolins with four and five courses, in both double- and single-string...

Aha. Yes, I've noticed instances of this in French. The word for world, "monde," ends with "e," usually an indication of a feminine word, yet it is masculine. Also, the word for egg, "oeuf," is...
