I'm sorry to relay that our friend Dale Smith (aka "Jessboo") passed away last Thurs at his home in Muscatine, Iowa. Dale was a good friend and loved instruments, but mandolins were his favorite by far. He was a good guy and would do anything for anybody. Just week before last he asked who in this area could replace/repair a truss rod on a mando and I gave him Dale Ludewig's name since he's not too far from us. Jessboo appreciated the info, but regretfully I never got to chat about which mando he wanted to have worked on. Yall keep his family in your thoughts.
