Re: Mandolin For Dummies - For Real
Hey, Don, it was great meeting you at the symposium! I've pre-ordered a copy of your book and can't wait to dig into it. Of course, I feel I may have a tiny advantage, having already played with you and Dawg in one of the tunes featured in your book. In case you haven't seen this version of the Dawg ensemble, which has a very nice intoduction of your background by David Grisman, here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uiPB...layer_embeddedOriginally Posted by Don Julin

Re: Mandolin For Dummies - For Real
If it works for Dummies, I'm in. Will it help me learn to change strings without raising my blood pressure and nail ITM triplets? Just nod yes ....
I'm impressed by the range of contributors .... and what a good price!

You talked me into it...just pre-ordered it. I still don't like the name, though.

Re: Mandolin For Dummies - For Real
Well...you could follow in.the tradition of Bill Monroe who put tape over the Gibson name when he got mad at them .....put tape over the cover and change it to read Mannedolin for Anne
Re: Mandolin For Dummies - For Real
Or do a "full Monroe", and use a pocketknife to cut the name out of the cover, then maybe tear a corner off to approximate the broken scroll.

I think duct tape will do the trick. It works on everything else!

Re: Mandolin For Dummies - For Real
Just an FYI - I'm noticing the publishers are slowly increasing the price of the book the closer we get to the publish date. Typically don't watch this kind of activity. Assume at publish time it goes to full retail which is approaching twice the cost of the pre-order.
Re: Mandolin For Dummies - For Real
Per-ordered. Congrats Don. You are a great teacher in cyberspace. We will see how you do on the page.

Pre-ordered and looking foward to it eagerly.

Pre-ordered, and now impatiently waiting.......................

Touch the music put there by the summer sun and wind
The rhythms of the rain, locked within the rings
And let your fingers find The Music in the Wood."

Re: Mandolin For Dummies - For Real
I'm no dummy, I pre-ordered. If Mr. Julin is talking, I'm listening. Can't wait to get it, it's supposed to be released just before my birthday. Sure to make a great gift for myself. Thank you Don and all contributors for your work!
Re: Mandolin For Dummies - For Real
This is interesting... I guess. About once a week they're bumping the price up .30-.45 cents. Was something like $14.39 last week, now it's $14.88. Never noticed this about publishers but maybe it's a common practice in the industry.
Re: Mandolin For Dummies - For Real
I am sure it will be a good resource, and at the very least it will look great in the library! Pre-ordered my copy.
Re: Mandolin For Dummies - For Real
Price is now $15.17. They're milking those pennies hard!
Re: Mandolin For Dummies - For Real
Now $15.47.
