Re: 10 Questions for Dan Beimborn
What a great read! Fascinating to learn so much about the wizard behind the curtain at the Mandolin Cafe and the Mandolin Archive. I had no idea he is American by birth, and I felt a bit of nationalist pride. We are very fortunate to have someone with his estimable talents, knowledge, insight, and dedication devoting himself to these resources.
From time to time I think of submitting my instruments to the Archive for inclusion in the collection. I doubt my plain A is worthy, though it's a good player, but hopefully my 1916 H-2 mandola is.
There was a point early on when I saw the cover of Dan's CD, with this wording on the link: "Dan Beimborn's 2006 CD, Torch and Fire, with his 1909 Gibson F4, serial number 9100 as the cover art. Click to purchase." For the briefest moment my mind fooled me into thinking I could purchase the MANDOLIN ...
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. - Dennis Miller
