I am actually much better looking than this picture shows. My mirror wouldn't lie to me, would it?
My card reads:
Mediocre Mandolin Player
"Available for Weddings, Birthdays, Bar Mitzvahs and other happy occasions when you just don't want to spend enough to get someone with any real talent"

Cool, John! Congrats on your newspaper appearance. What town are you from?

Congrats John! #I grew up in a small town and got my name in the local paper on a couple of occassions as well, but showing up in the police blotter isn't near as cool as your clipping above. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mandosmiley.gif

Do you ever get a gig? I would like to know the market (tolerance) for mediocre mandolin - or do you just enjoy the flying tomatoes.

I live 7000 ft. up in the High Sierra in a community called "Sequoia Crest" (pop. 16), but this paper is from the "big city" of Springville ( maybe 1000 souls more or less). I also watch for my big city relatives on "COPS"

john- that is excellent!!!!!! one man's mediocrity is another's greatness!
Congrats.
I'm still laughing about your card. It's cool. I may do something similar. Where do I send the royalty checks. Or, can I just mail it to John, Sequoia Crest. Sounds nice there.
