    And now for something completely different ...



    This is the performance of Mary Ann's song "Herman The Merman" that won us the award for Best Group Performance at this year's 54th Annual Conch Shell Blowing Contest, 3/6/15. By a fortunate fluke she bumped into someone who had taped it, so this pleasant performance has been preserved for posterity and presented for your pleasure. Enjoy!

    Thanks! It could have been a bit higher in the mix (I know, spoken like a true mandolinist ), but it was serving in a supporting role. Also, the darn thing is so loud, it seemed prudent to stay a bit off the mike.

    If you'll permit a bit of indulgence about this silliness, I won in the Adult Male category four years ago, playing the riffs from "Satisfaction" and "Smoke On The Water." I chose these for their familiarity and simplicity - the true pitch range of my shell is all of five half steps, thought there ways to extend it a bit (necessary for the latter, which requires six half steps. The adult solo winners get interviewed, and these usually get sent out to the wire services, and this to newspapers and TV stations all over. That's what happened to me - the story got picked up and sent around the world, showing up as far away as India, and even a Rolling Stones fan site posted it. Heck, it even showed up in the bumper for the weekend news for the AP news service. But the local daily paper passed. This inspired me to send them a sternly worded if tongue-in-cheek letter to the editor chiding them for their lack of support of this bit of small town fun. To their credit, they ran my letter, as a way of admitting their failure in this. You'll see all this in these clips. A still from this is what I usually use as my avatar.









    Also, you'll notice the winners of the Adult Group category - a bunch of dilettantes wearing feathered boas honking non-musically and dancing clumsily to some rudimentary choreography set to ABBA's "Dancing Queen." This group or similar ones always win in the category since no one else competes. (Actually, four years prior to this, I had won in this category as a duo with my then-boss, the most-decorated contestant ever, as I accompanied him on mandolin while he blew the conch on "Golden Slippers." * Part of the reason we won is that, after we got on the stage, I found I had to tune a string and said over the mike, "Can you give me a D?" That cracked everyone up.) My brainstorm this year was to compete in this category as well as solo, and it worked a charm. That sort of artless display can't hold a candle to what we did. Well, it was really Clementine, who is a real charmer, and very willful, to boot.

    Oddly enough, for some inexplicable reason, the only local paper that covered the event, a weekly that is very much devoted to running photographs much more than text and is very inclusive in what they print, said the other group had won, putting two pictures of them at the top of the section devoted to their coverage. I didn't see this until a week or so later, when Clementine happened to mention someone had said something to her about her picture in one of the papers. I tracked it down, which by then was in the previous week's issue, and was astonished to see what they'd done. They had indeed included a picture of us - part of their inclusive policy - on the next page - with her last name misspelled. This led me to send them a sternly worded - and a bit less tongue-in-cheek - letter to the editor chiding them for their gaffe, noting that if they looked through their files they would see a photo of us receiving the trophy. The photographer did respond very apologetically, and two weeks later (the deadline for next week had passed) the paper ran an enormous photo of the trophy presentation, which took up nearly a third of page two - with her last name still misspelled. I feel a bit vindicated (though an actual printed apology would have been nice), but as I told them, I really felt bad for her having been cheated out of recognition for the first award she had ever won. That was a key motivating factor for this bit of windmill tilting - gallantry, chivalry, upholding a lady's honor. Seriously.

    I really do love this small town fun.

    * Yes, believe it or not - actual mandolin content!

    Yeah Nick, that was great.
    The band sounded tight, your harmony sounded real good, but most of all, I can see (hear) now why you like that 'distressed' Gibson so much.

    Thanks Dan!

    The F5 was made by Gary Vessel (testore on the cafe) in 2006. The spec is standard f5, but the decorative design ideas were mine and executed by both Gay and his wife. It's basically a visual nod to teens Gibsons.


    Best,
    Daniel

    Daniel,

    I listened to "The Two Soldiers"...lovely tune. I really like how an F5 sounds in this style; of course Gary builds excellent instruments, so I'm not surprised. Great singing as well my friend!

    Thanks for posting!
