[Nathan Sanders]

To seek out new licks and new chord progessions....
To boldly go where no mando has gone before!

[Nathan Sanders]

"This is the way Bill does it." (as in Bill Shatner)

[Richard Sanabia]

If I hit this note, your Vulcan ears are toast....

[John Flynn]

Banjos? There are no banjos in stardate 1314.5!

[g-mac]

"I originally learned how to play as a way of meeting green chicks."

[Plectrosaurus]

Hey Scotty! Want to hear me play 'Gander in the Pratie Hole' at warp speed?

[JEStanek]

Whip.... it... like a... Gorn.

PS, I'm out of the competition but I love to play.

[Jeremy Darrow]

Coming this Summer "Grass Trek"! Follow William Shatner as he simultaneously portrays Bill Monroe, the Father of Bluegrass, and Captain James Kirk, his signature role. Supported by literally hundreds of anonymous, red-shirted Bluegrass Boys; Monroe/Kirk negotiates the treacherous interstellar festival circuit, guided by his manager/first officer, Spock Rinzler.

[mandolinmailman]

We're going to look great with these new golden V-necks with black dickies. I just wish we could get some cool Mandolin Cafe ball caps to match.

[mritter]

Who was the technical advisor on set that day? He's planting the pinky on his right hand and wrapping the thumb on his left hand.

[pickinpete]

I wonder if I could replicate a Loyd Loar?

[Eric Charles]

"Put down the phaser or I'll play Soldier's Joy again!"

/e

p.s. just kidding, I kinda like Soldier's Joy, but that made me giggle.

[Marion Rose]

"Beam me up Scotti, I hear banjos."

"Dammit Scotty, I need more volume..."

[John Flynn]

Oh yeah...Kreetassan alvera top, Elaysian garlanic back and sides, latinum frets. This baby cost more than my anti-matter converter!

[Jeff Harvey]

Beam me down Scotty.....I'm ready.

[mrmando]

The next time Spock brings his blasted Vulcan harp onto my bridge, I'm ready for him!

[Dan Margolis]

"Phasers are useless on this planet, Mr. Spock! We have to play our way out of this jam!"

[ShaneJ]

See, Spock......you take your basic Vulcan "hi sign", and then you fold your fingers over like this, and VIOLA'!! The chop chord!

[Michael Eck]

Well, Mr. Rice, I call it Spacegrass!

[mrmando]

Captain's log, stardate 7.9.1923: We arrived too late to intervene in a deadly clash of civilizations on a previously unknown planet in the Gamma quadrant. The opposing forces of Bluegrass and Old-Time appear to have obliterated almost every trace of each other. People, buildings, communication systems, archives ... thoroughly destroyed. This strange implement, which our away team found hidden in a cave, is our only clue to the planet's history.

Careful! Right NOW... my mandolin is on stun

[D C Blood]

Just maybe, by the time we reach Alpha Centurion, I'll have these chop chords down...

[yankees1]

Worlds are conquered, galaxies destroyed----but a mandolin has to be a Gibson!

[Mike Snyder]

Blue moon of Orion, keep on shinein'.........

[Tracy Tucker]

"I said 'Hammer on' - not Klingon!"

[chasray]

All your people must learn before you can reach for the stars. (Kirk, "The Gamesters of Triskelion", stardate 3259.2)

So let's start with a "B" chop chord. And hold your pick this way...and did I mention Gibson F style?

[johnl]

"I think you're right, Bones; the Romulan Ale does help my playing."

[Dave Gumbart]

- "Thanks, Scotty; this time, I have all the power I need."

- "I AM being natural."

[johnl]

"To Telluride, Mr. Sulu; warp factor 2."

[Gary Watkins]

I can sing just like Adam Steffey, too!


"Uh... thanks. I'll stop singing now"


That ain't no part of nuthin'


Adam who?

[gjproject]

Must.....learn....to.....play........Twinkle...Lit tle...Star.....before.....Galax.....Fiddler's...Co nvention.....

[mandomurph]

This tune goes way back to 2073.

[bwachter]

Tell me Spock is it illogical to play chop chords in deep space.

[Steve-o]

Mr. Sulu, this is nothing but a Pac Rim imitation.

[Steve-o]

Lucy...in the sky... with diamonds!

[Danny Clark]

after all these years still "ONLY A GIBSON IS GOOD ENOUGH"

[RBMB]

If this doesn't scare them away, get me my banjo.

[RBMB]

Spock, Explain to me again why they call it a "Cafe" if I can't buy a drink there.

[Jim MacDaniel]

"Leave brand snobbery in your quarters; there's no room for it at a jam."

[Sergio Lara]

"Well, the days are long the nights are lonely
Since you left me all alone
I worried so my little darling
I worried so since you've been gone....

Sweetheart of mine can't you hear me calling
A million times that I love you best
I mistreated you, darling, I'm sorry
Come back to me is my request..."

[F-2 Dave]

Hey Spock, did you know my great great great grandfather was Captain Lawson from the USS Quicksilver?

[Jeff Harvey]

....hmmm, I wonder if they like traditional or newgrass out there?

[Jeff Harvey]

I wonder if I could teach that Vulcan to play guitar,

[RichieK]

"I used Priceline to get a great deal on my Doyle Lawson F-5."

[Pete Braccio]

Not one hundred percent efficient, of course ... but nothing ever is.
-- Kirk, "Metamorphosis"

[Nigel Matthews]

"Scotty, we're in B, use the *%$* capo"

"Spock, one more Vulcan lick out of you, and I'm taking that fiddle away!"

[Chris Wofford]

Hang on. I am gonna give her all she's got.

[Jim Ferguson]

"Damn it Jim......you're not a mandolin player......you are Captain of the Starship Enterprise."
Peace,
Jim

[Nigel Matthews]

"3 minutes to impact... time for Fireball Mail!"

[Ben Lyman]

"I'ma kick this'un off wit' fo'teen to'pedos..."

[Marcus CA]

I call this tune "Under the Rug." I wrote it for my toupee.

[billkilpatrick]

"chopin? ... i'll show you chopin!"

[John Soper]

I'll show you a chop chord- brace yourself for impact!

[toddjoles]

Mr Chekov.....Mandolins on stun.....Fire!

[Wesley]

Scottie - I don't care if you're giving your banjo all you've got. You STILL need to pick up the tempo.

[madcapmando]

One step further and I'll give it to you in B flat

[gda(v)e]

"Now remember ... LOOSE grip on the pick! I don't want to see any Vulcan Death Grips!"

[Gerard Dick]

This ought to get rid of those tribbles

[mandodan1960]

Technique ?
Who cares.
How does my hair look ?

[MikeEdgerton]

"I can't believe your ears either Mr. Spock, but that was Whiskey Before Breakfast."

[Steve Ostrander]

I'm also exempt, but here's my .02:

"I said D7th...I mean, warp 7, Scotty!"

[Steven Antonelli]

Set you chop to stun

[Jim Gallaher]

"When you are the Captain of the Enterprise, Mr. Sulu, you may call the next tune. Until that day comes, I am the leader of this jam circle!"

[Jim Gallaher]

"Why, ... Lieutenant Uhura, ... I ... had no idea ... that you played ... the upright bass!"

[Mandobar]

.......Bluegrass ... the Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Mando-prise. Its five-year mission: to explore exciting new music; to seek out new tunes and new players to jam with; to boldly go where no mandolin player has gone before.

[Bertram Henze]

Ooops, I left my phaser in the holodeck jam...

[DougC]

"I'm ready for the 'Intergalactic Bluegrass Festival'. Here is my audition photo."

[JEStanek]

"I finally upgraded from that outer spiral rim import and got a Gibson. It's good to be the Captain."

[Hal Loflin]

"Truly...The Final Frontier!"

[Spgmando]

McCoy to Kirk: ""I signed aboard this ship to practice medicine, not to have my atoms scattered back and forth across space by this gadget."

[stevie]

I have this mandolin............and I'm not afraid to use it!!!!!!!!

[pickloser]

Shut up with the String Theory. I play by ear. A rounded ear...not a pointy ear.

[Schlegel]

From offscreen-

"Dammit, Jim, I'm a Doctor, not a critic!"

[mugbucket]

Starfleet Command told me to forget the promotion to Admiral unless I could find a B# out here. I'm beginning to think they just wanted me out of the way...

[Kenta]

Play us out, Scotty!

[DMosher]

I like "Old Time" the best... Anything before Chris Thile's great-grandson cloned the first viable synthetic tortise shell pick plant.

[uckyak]

"It's your choice Scotty, either I play this mandolin or do commercials for Priceline!"

[JeffD]

"Hey Bones! C'mon, get out your banjo and lets pick."

[UsuallyPickin]

Let's try that again at Warp 2 Mr. Sulu.....

[hank]

Please, Captain, Not in front of the Klingons.

[hank]

If Spock were here, he’d say that I was an irrational, illlogical human being for going on a mission like this... Sounds like fun!

[hank]

Come on. Spock, why didn't you jump in?

[des mando]

so this is the same instrument desighn used by ancient monroevian culture on earth

[Bob Dobbs]

Lieutenant Uhura, I wrote this for us...

[HarveyB]

'Trouble with Tribbles Breakdown'

[roanokejake]

To seek out new licks and new chord progessions....
To boldly go where no mando has gone before!
This must be Bela Fleck's new mandolin player.

[John Uhrig]

Picard has nothing on me. I have hair and a mandolin!

[mugbucket]

So the Romulan asked me what I called the openings on the top, and I said they were F-Holes. I noticed he was playing an A9 and asked him what he called his, and he said "Klingons"!

[Jim MacDaniel]

Hey Spock -- break out autoharp thingy of yours, and let's jam!

http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/startrek/images/thumb/d/df/Spock_plays_Vulcan_lute.jpg/180px-Spock_plays_Vulcan_lute.jpg

[SHORTY]

Like the tribbles, I'm speechless on this note. What next? Woooee!

[RobP]

Captain, play it out of tune and we'll either discover the Klingons shield resonance frequency, or we'll drive them all mad!

[hank]

Hoedown on the Holideck at 7:00. Captain K and the Galacticgrass boys.

[Jeff May]

What do you mean my 300 year old mandolin still sounds a little green compared to a Loar?

[bonesatr]

Set faces to melt.

[Randi Gormley]

No, Mr. Checkov, they DIDN'T play them better in Russia

[RBMB]

"Either let me play the theme song or you're going to have to cancel the damn series!"

[RBMB]

"They made me check my guitar, but said I could carry my mandolin on board."

[F-2 Dave]

You tell me that you tried to beam up Doyle Lawson and this is all you got?

[Jim MacDaniel]

"Hey Scotty -- care to join me for a quick rendition of The Glasgow? (Ooops, sorry -- I keep forgetting you're from Aberdeen.)"

[Duzer]

Beam me up Scottie! I think I broke a G string while circling Uranus.

[woodwizard]

Everybody! Mandolins on stun!

[mandopixie]

Oh yeah...Kreetassan alvera top, Elaysian garlanic back and sides, latinum frets. This baby cost more than my anti-matter converter!

Well, spleeb me, I wouldn't have known that!

[PhilGE]

Pick-guard who?

[PhilGE]

Do you think playing tremelo at warp factor 9 is why I keep breaking so many strings?

[PhilGE]

Sorry, I only play requests for the ladies. I will, however, play Blue Moons over Rigel for you.

[Pickin' on the Man]

"Blue Moon of Khan-tucky keep on shinin'..."

[Jennifer]

To boldly go where no man has gone... with The Loar.

[journeybear]

If we slingshot The Enterprise around the sun, we can go back in time and stop that poker before it makes contact. Sulu, set a course!

[Miss Lonelyhearts]

Dammit Scotty! The Holodeck...is...on the...fritz....again. I said....that I wanted...Amanda Lynn...in my arms....tonight....

"Take 18"
"Stardate 7.9.23. Captain James T. Kirk, Starship--hee hee, wha hahahahahaha!!!--sorry, hee hee, I can't help it! I mean, first Costuming makes us wear these gawdawful pajamas, and now Property issues this antique @&#$*ing tennis racquet! Hahahaha.... Isn't this supposed to be the year, like 2010 or something? Where's my phaser? I wanna shoot my #$@%&$ing agent...."

[Miss Lonelyhearts]

"Yes, Bones, I realize that this isn't my phaser and it's not set to stun, but the Klingons don't know that. Now shut up and point that ukelele you're holding at the big ugly one."

[Miss Lonelyhearts]

"Sure, Patrick Stewart's done Shakespeare. But I've done Dollywood!"

[Miss Lonelyhearts]

"Badminton anyone?"

Picking winners this a.m. before heading out to the farmer's market to see all my pals. This one is a winner. Hard to ignore someone who probably spent way too much time watching the original series as I did as a kid. :)

[Scott Tichenor]

"I think you're right, Bones; the Romulan Ale does help my playing."

Oh, yes! Another winner.

[Scott Tichenor]

We are the MandolinCafe community. You will be Assimilated. Resistance is Futile.

I thought one of the Priceline jokes had it, but this the final winning pick. Even though Kirk and crew never met The Borg (or did they in one of the awful re-union movies?). "Futile" best pronounced as "few-tile," vs. "few-till."

[Scott Tichenor]

The contest is over, but of course, you may (and will) continue to play, because, "resistance, is futile."

[yankees1]

Scott, Since we never did recieve our free strings :) , you could send all participating members on this thread a free cap!! :) Just kidding!

[mandopixie]

"Futile" best pronounced as "few-tile," vs. "few-till."

Outside of the US this is the only pronunciation of the word!

[journeybear]

We need you over at this thread, (http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/showthread.php?63766-MANdolin-or-mandoLIN) where futility and utility merge in mutual annihilation.

[bratsche]

I thought one of the Priceline jokes had it, but this the final winning pick. Even though Kirk and crew never met The Borg (or did they in one of the awful re-union movies?). "Futile" best pronounced as "few-tile," vs. "few-till."

Word? Them there's two words. "Few tile", as in "not enough to do the whole floor..." :grin:

Just Traded in my Phazer and barely had enough to buy this!

[Mandolin Mick]

I was out there playing Rawhide when your grandfather was in diapers!

[Tom Humphreys]

So folks across the pond might hear it as, "Resistance is feudal" ?

[Darren Bailey]

Back to the old home - warp factor eight.

[raulb]

I thought one of the Priceline jokes had it, but this the final winning pick. Even though Kirk and crew never met The Borg (or did they in one of the awful re-union movies?). "Futile" best pronounced as "few-tile," vs. "few-till."

Also often pronounced "feudal."

[journeybear]

The mosaicist soon learned that advancing his social standing was futile in the feudal system. Although there were few tile workers, there was also little demand, so his desire to ascend in society was futile.

[Tom C]

I'd rather be wearing Doyle Lawson's suite

[schubs]

"Banjoooooooooo!!! Banjooooooo!!!"

[Darren Bailey]

To hell with the prime directive I'm teaching the Klingons bluegrass!

[Darren Bailey]

It's country music Jim, but not as we know it!

[Darren Bailey]

Tune me up Scotty!

[Darren Bailey]

Open all channels - they've got to hear this one!

[Darren Bailey]

hey Spock, prick up your ears and listen to this!

[Darren Bailey]

It's time for a solo - sit down helmesman.

[Darren Bailey]

Ship's log stardate 35762 - I learned B!

[Darren Bailey]

I don't care what Starfleet says, I'm growing my sideburns.

[Darren Bailey]

I've had a great idea for a new theme tune.

[Darren Bailey]

Yea sure, this whole starship captain thing has been good for me, but did I ever tell you what i really wanted to do?

[Darren Bailey]

Spock says this is the only way to get the fingers strong enough for a Vulcan grip.

[Bobbie Dier]

Tune me up Scotty!

This is the best one yet!
