    Happy New Year all!
    Robert Johnson's mother, describing blues musicians:
    "I never did have no trouble with him until he got big enough to be round with bigger boys and off from home. Then he used to follow all these harp blowers, mandoleen (sic) and guitar players."

    Yes, Happy New Year to all! I'm grateful for the camaraderie I've discovered here, along with the generous sharing of knowledge and experience. Thank you all!

    My song to usher in 2021 wasn't recorded with a mandolin part, so far as I know. Nonetheless, I believe it suits:

    Phoebe, my 2021 Collings MT mandolin
    Dolly, my 2021 Ibanez M522 mandolin
    Louise, my 193x SS Maxwell mandolin
    Fiona, My 2021 GSM guitar-bodied octave resonator mandolin
    Charlotte, my 2016 Eastman MDO 305 octave mandolin
    And Giuliana, my 2002 Hans Schuster 505 violin, Nehenehe, my 2021 Aklot concert ukulele,
    Annie, my 2022 Guild M-140 guitar, Joni, my 1963 Harmony 1215 Archtone archtop guitar,
    Yoko, my ca. 1963 Yamaha Dynamic No.15 guitar, and Rich, my 1959 husband.

    I predicted better vision globally in 20/20 - I'm not even going to make a guess about this year.

    So should we say that 2020 is in the hindsight or do we just really mean it when we say hindsight is 2020?

    Happy and prosperous 2021 mando peeps!

    Depends on your punctuation.

    Hear hear! I'm being cautiously optimistic. Mixed results from this unusual year. A lot of this and that. Summed up by this snippet from the optimistic Paul tempered by the cynical (some might say, pragmatic) John. Bear in mind, it could actually get worse. I sure hope not, though, and that 2020 in hindsight is indeed 20/20.

    Anyway ...

    Happy New Year, everyone! Here's hoping!
