    Default Just for Fun~Playing the Mandolin~

    Don't think this has been posted before. Please forgive if it has. I grabbed this from Mr. Zak Borden's FB page today: he's Portland's own mandolin player extraordinaire.! It's really cute.

    "...jazz is for people who cannot play the melody, but like to play off chords..." This little film is hilarious!

    Solid A!

    Wait...Is bluegrass traditional, or invented by Bill Monroe?
    Yes. That's what I said.


    Loretta, thank for posting.

    Does anyone have the link to another xtranormal video that showed two characters discussing the purchase of a mandolin? One was ready to buy all of the best quality features even though he hadn't learned how to play the mandolin yet. The link was posted in the Cafe but I can't find it and haven't located it through Goggle.
