Chris Eldridge (guitarist for the Punch Brothers) graduated from Oberlin. (So did Lloyd Loar). (And Jeremy Denk).
We should not be too surprised when the Punch Brothers pop in for a visit and a gig.

Puerto Rico.
I think that it is called "La Arboleda" (the grove). The version I have (from Puerto Rico) is by Pedro Padilla. Great tune!
I'm selling my amazing F4 because I need money to put into my business. I am hoping it comes back many fold, in which case I will "owe" myself another mandolin. I am selling my best mando because it...
I'll be there! Some choro classes and lots of playing tunes!
North of San Francisco.
I'll PM you on Facebook.
Really digging the clean and expressive playing of the whole group!

Wow Shelby. Beautiful music! I'm not surprised, as I too remember you and Isaac from Mandolin Symposium. Your virtuosity and generosity (you gave me a few crucial pointers on swing soloing) are...
Back to the original posting. Looks like the guitar/mando combination in the photo has two mandolins that seem to be exactly the same scale (not a mandola and and mandolin). Do we suspect that these...
Interesting mic setup-I haven't seen him use that before. If you like progressive jazz (or Bela and the Flecktones), check this one out (with Hermeto!)

Dudu definitely showed it to me with two A's--- now if I could just get all of those other notes in!
I have not been to Kaufman Kamp, but have heard the same kind of positive feedback. As a westerner, you may want to consider the Mandolin Symposium (hopefully it will remain in the west). I have...
A day late, but no less love Happy Birth(yester)day! A master player and inspiring human being!
Yes-- very helpful in music and lots of other places too.
"Not caring" was a bit tongue in cheek on my part-- "non-attachment" seemed too high fallutin' at the time, but mando players are generally a very evolved crowd!
Non-attachment to sounding good, to...
Thanks Mike (K)--I wasn't sure what the "yips" are but do know a bit more about focal dystonia (thankfully I don't have it). I clicked to your website, and see that you have written a modern-day Zen...
"Th right art - is purposeless, aimless! The more obstinately you try to learn how to shoot the arrow for the sake of hitting the goal, the less you will succeed in the one, and the further the...
Think Zen Master, not Slave Master.
If you didn't care, she might not have left....
Seriously, this book (Effortless Mastery, Liberating the Master Musician Within, Jamey Aebersold Jazz, inc-- no financial interest or personal...
The audience can tell if we are tense, which can make them tense as well--not a problem if a release of tension is also part of our playing. The masters (of anything) seem to make the difficult...
Say that you are in the middle of a solo and the musician that you think most highly of comes and sits down at a table a few feet from you. Will you play better, the same, or not as well as you...
Joe Craven plays a 80's Kentucky... Sumi era, and at the time considered a high(est) quality import. But still could be called an Asian import.
Great news for you, and for all of us that love the mandolin. Congratulations!!
Daniel Pearl, Wall Street Journal reporter, was apparently not only an amazing human being, but also an accomplished musician on several instruments, including the mandolin,

I can't afford to go, but I can't afford to miss it--i'll see you there. Dudu and Danilo are the dream team of choro teachers, and two of the nicest folks you will ever meet.
I use the stick on pickup and a mic on a stand for depth of tone and volume control.
I do sound like a prima donna! Not wanting to look like a prima donna has been the only reason that I haven't...
