    Here's a combo video of F8 action from the Huck Finn Jubilee in June.



    Sorry about the background noise -- we were about 50 yards from the main stage.

    I want - almost everything I see here

    I listened to the MP3, sounds gorgeous. it opened in Itunes, so there I am enjoying the mandolin when it suddenly ended and immediately "Good Lovin'" by the Rascals jumps in. scared the heck out of me

    by the way, my name's Randy and it really hurt seeing that "Randy" got that gorgeous instrument, and not having it be me!

    If it makes you feel better I was just the test pilot on the beautiful F8... a very powerful mando.
    It ended up in the hands of Mr. Lee Roy of The Roys who, I believe, sleeps with it under his pillow

    A new batch of Sorensens is just about to be born too!
