Here is one me playing mine, I use it from time to time when an artsy photo of a mandolin is required, so it qualifies I think...
Wow you got a nice mando for the money.
Does the top look overly light to anyone else? It could be the lighting in the pics, but to me this looks lighter than it should be? Most of the onse I've...
I liked Mandomania but it wasn't the same without the Mikes! Compton and Marshall. But It still was a good one. I caught all of the NBB set at the Walker so I got my Compton fix for a little while....
That jam in the picture above was THE highlight for me, festival wise. The Whitehouse Blues they played I've been waiting for 7 years to see!!! AMAZING, and then Sutton and Rice did a twin guitar...

Thanks Bones, I usually think people (like me) doing stuff like that who aren't directly involved is a little cheesy, but I didn't think it would be appropriate for me to rip up a some jolly sounding...
I'll be there too, it should be a pretty good show this year as always.
They seem to rotate heavy on the Bluegrass one year then heavy on Americana the next. So this year seems to be a heavy...
Richard, Sure thats why I do it, I HOPED that people would want to put it on their iPod and listen to it. If you can get iTunes for Windows then you can subscribe to it through it iTunes and it will...
Cool, sounds good there John.
And its with a BRW no less!
I don't know if you knew this or not but mine was recorded with BRW #30 an F-Style that Ben made for a few years ago. Its my main...
Thanks all, for the kind words, I've been updating it everyday so keep checking back, I'm going to try and update it Mon-Fri, if possible.
Also I now own www.freemando.com and I think I'm going to...
Why are Guitar players so fickle?
Because in a bluegrass band there aren't any drummers and someone has to be fickle right?
This is a cool thread, its nice to see how the mandolin shows up in art. The bummer is that it is usually a bowl back sorry Eugene...
Here are a few of my drawings/paintings that have a mando...
Hi all, I no I don't frequent the cafe to often anymore, I'm more of a lurker than anything else, but I've started my own PodCast called Freemando.
its available over here...

Frank is a lot more than a Gypsy style player, he is pretty versatile and can really play most anything jazzwise. IIRC he showed up and jammed all night long with my old jazz guitar...
I think the blonde at the top of the page was in pieces last time I was at Ben's shop a few months ago. I think the sides were in the forms and the top was rough carved. IIRC he told me it was going...
Super cool, I can tell without even playing that it would be the perfect mando for honkin on some Typsy Gypsy!!! Love It!
Wow I'm not sure if even the Dawg-father himself has that much money to drop on an axe!
She sure is a sweet one though...
Wow that one is awesome, you know, I could see a whole mando family of those. dola, and cello...the extra-oblong oval hole really is very nicely designed bravo!!!
Wow this is terrible.
I only met Charlie once at IBMA a few years ago. We had a good conversation about all sorts of mandolin related stuff. If it is possible to evaluate someone in the course of...
Dang!
I couldn't make the DMO event on the 11th, family type obligations... but that 'cello is really cool. I've been meaning to make it over there for a DMO event for a while I live in Columbus...
Wow Scott that has officially brought me out of lurk mode!
Beautiful.
I got to play a Kimble Mandola at IBMA WOB two years and it was incredible. That one was more orange in color and had an...
Cool deal Sam, I have one too and I love it.
I don't know if you saw it but Mike Compton just sold his on Ebay for over $6000. But that one had a oodles of goodies and ephemera from the O Brother...
