Good morning fellow pickers,

I've started a new arrangement for Larry Sparks His Name Was Judas, but cannot seem to find the lyrics for this tune online.
Would anyone here perhaps be able to help...

Difficult to pick one song or player, but I'll go with something I like, because not only is the song awesome, but its a personal favorite.

Cattle in the Cane by Sam Bush on the Bluegrass...

It makes me feel like a much more accomplished mandolin player. I love it :))

I first saw them at the Dakota Tavern in TO a couple of years ago when they played the same night as a buddy of mine.
This song really got my attention. The followed it up with In Hell I'll Be In...

Great band and a fun tune. Don't think I've seen tabs for any of their work before. The mando parts in that song aren't too difficult though, have you tried figuring it out by ear?

I've been playing guitar for about 23 years. Played in several bands, mostly electric.
A couple of years ago I didn't have the energy anymore to work Monday to Friday 9 to 5 and then play gigs all...

My wife recently said "I really am not in the mood for any of your gidely gidely music..." so I think that's what I'm going to use in the future when asked what do you play?

This is the dilemma I find myself in at the moment. I played electric guitar in bands for years, have a couple of electric guitars, amp, road cases and the works, but haven't actually played any of...

You may want to consider going for an A instead of an F, especially if you want to keep an eye on the price.
About a year ago I, just like you, was in the market for an affordable F and was at the...

Hey Popolopolos,

Thanks for your message and PM, I'm sure switching names on the list wont be an issue.
I have sent Mando Barber a PM for shipping info, and will send out the sampler as soon as I...

I wasn't introduced to the Dead until I moved to North America as an adult. My wife's best friends are all Deadheads and got me into their music. Sadly I never got to see Jerry play, but he still...

I received the sampler this week. Really excited to get pickin' and try out the plethora of options!
Thanks to jtv for shipping them!

My favorite bard is Dandelion (not D&D but pretty well known none the less) :)

Thanks for the link. Great line up!

OP is looking for a risk-having-it-crushed-to-death-at-check-in mandolin. From my experience these mando's fit that description quite well :)

Huh! Funny how people experience these things differently! After I had mine properly setup it actually sounded pretty good. I didn't experience the buzz issue and found it to play very easily....

My first mandolin was a Gretsch New Yorker G9320, not the exact same model, but the quality of build and sound beat everything else that the local shop had on their wall at the time (some Fenders and...

I refer to mine as my hatchet. I've always referred to my guitar as axe and thought hatchet a perfect name for the mandolin.

Credit goes to one of the members here that uses it in his or her...

Recently worked out a Norman and Nancy Blake tune called Blind Dog, originally done on a fiddle and cello, now with two mando's.
Don't have a full version recorded yet, but here's a slower (and...

Kentucky?

Süddeutschland ist sehr schön! Wilkommen von einem Holländer!

Really? I generally don't look to stir the pot, but if someone would get worked up over something benign as calling an instrument Gibby, I would wonder how they'd react to something of actual...

CBC is the national Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Considered by many as the best and most trustworthy news outlet in Canada ;)

My thoughts exactly.

"I enjoy songs from the depression era, and darned if they don't sound better, or at least more authentic, on cheap old instruments maybe a farmer could afford, so if I was gigging in that vein I'd...
