We built a front porch recently and half my motivation for doing so was to be able to have a nice area to sit outside and play music. Obviously, this is going to be convenient during COVID for having people over to jam, but also some of my favorite memories as a kid were sitting on the porch with my grandfather while he played Bluegrass dobro.
This may be an odd question, but, does anyone have good suggestions for comfortable front porch furniture that is conducive to mandolin playing? Most stuff I've seen has huge arm rests that get in the way of holding an instrument. Rocking chairs are classic, but I've never actually been comfortable playing an instrument in one. Also, my porch isn't covered (more of a patio, really), so the furniture will need to be weatherproof. Any ideas or killer "front porch music setups" someone could share?
