    I just adore the garage recordings. Somehow, they just feel perfect in there.

    Very nice article. I've been pleased to know Marla since about the time she first got that mandolin and started playing it with Out of the Rain and in her duet with Sylvia Herold, and it has been a delight to see her blossom into such a stunning player. She and Bruce are forging new territory with their music while she manages to stay well rooted in the Irish tradition she's mastered.

    Great interview with Marla indeed! I feel very lucky to live near enough to her to be able to have seen her perform many times and also take lessons in person with her (finishing up a series of her group lessons tonight as a matter of fact!). Thanks to technology non local folks can avail of Skype lessons or now those Peghead Nation lessons - great stuff!

    The "Fibish" was cut off the Forum main page, so I clicked it anyway hoping to find out about the Rise of Marla Maples and what she might have to do with the mandolin. I know it is a stretch, but she's going to be on the new season of Dancing With The Stars -- I guess that would put her in the "Stars" category..................

    No offense to Marla Fibish -- great article!

    Great article; Marla and Bruce have come to perform in my hometown before. Always a great show and they are wonderful people. "The finest kind" as we say here...

    That video of "The Parting" is as good as it gets. A gorgeous melody played as beautifully as possible with that amazing parking garage reverb. WOW!

    Thank you for the great interview and the videos. My favorite place to play happens to be in my parking garage (at lunch and after work). It is not completely closed in, but above ground and open to the air. I back my car up to an open side and play sitting on my tailgate the covered garage space to my back. Nice acoustics.

    Hello
    I have a suggestion about the name.
    Alciati is an italian family name and Terry (or Terri) is the short form for an italian female name once well utilized, Teresa.
    So it could be that you mando was Miss Teresa Alciati's one.
    But no clue for the H





    Sorry for my english, end of all i'm italian
