Visiting with Spencer Strickland this morning at his shop in Lamsburg Va. Here's a link to video showing No. 12, just strung up in the white--great sounding mandolin built for Catherine Connor:

Great video...sounds great and some great picking!

[Russ Jordan]

Here are a couple of shots. Hopefully will post video of the Catherine Connor playing her new mandolin later. The beautiful back and sides came from wood her grandfather cut in the 80's in VA.

My apologies for misspelling Spencer's last name in the the thread title. Maybe a moderator can correct? It's the iphone's fault!

Later in the afternoon Catherine Connor came by Spencer's to check out the progress on her new mandolin. Nice twin work on the last break, Gerald Anderson is on guitar. Spencer is playing Anderson #53.

Russ,
Cannot open video. Says it is private.

[Russ Jordan]

Thanks, George. Should work now--as you can see, I am a rookie at posting youtubes!

[Bob Buckingham]

Not too shabby! Oh and mandolin is really nice!

[mandobouy]

so what is the name of the tune played in the video of post #8?
thanks, bruce

Salt Creek

[AlanN]

Yep, Salt Creek it is. That tune is well-suited for a tenor twin and Spencer gets its perfectly. Other good ones are Whiskey Before Breakfast, Liberty, 8th Of January.

[David Houchens]

Very nice sounding Mandolin. Nice pickin too!

[Skip Kelley]

Nice pickin' on Salt Creek!
