Beautiful mandolin! I love the top figure and the color.

i also have one of andrew's 4 strings and love it. I started with j74s and had the same feeling you're having. Wanted that tele...

Mine is very cool about anything mandolin related, but isn't much for fiddles (it couldn't be my playing, could it?:grin: ) I'm playing at a friend's wedding in Jamaica in two weeks and she's made...

SNL's season finale was this last Saturday, the 21st. Maybe she's scheduled for next season?

Most of us may not like it, but it's hard to deny that Taylor Swift is, almost single handedly, turning younger kids onto playing instruments and writing songs.

Our banjo player, who teaches...

Got, got and got!!! I'm a newspaper writer and always LOVE working on our yearly April 1st story (it involved cheerleaders this year). I try to be cautious, but this just snowed me several times...

Joe is one hell of a mandolin player-and a really nice guy to boot. My wife and I went up to Maine last summer and toured Jonathan Cooper's violin shop, hit the local bluegrass haunts, etc. Quickly...

I agree with Eliot. 5% is a little low, but I wouldn't put it any higher than 10 or 15. I've been attempting fiddle playing for about a year and a half and am just starting to make sounds like don't...

I love the cafe, check it every day, but am mostly a lurker. Had to post on this one.

My wife told me (read: allowed) to purchase one dream instrument before we began working on starting a family...

My one and only custom build was just incredible from start to finish. A Gathright F5 by Foreman, Arkansas' John Gathright. His name might not be out there as much as others, but I'm telling you...

I've had the mando mode explorer for about two weeks. It was a steal for the price. It has first, second and third inversions for just about every chord in every mode. More modes than you could ever...

Other than being completely in love with the music itself, my favorite thing is the agelessness of it. I think it's one of the very, very few genres that age doesn't matter. Playing in rock bands in...

many great licks in that book. I bought it from elderly and it was backordered. Totally forgot about it and five or six months later got a very nice surprise. Happy new year folks!

My little lady just ordered a killer dobro from the cafe's own Steve Smith, the fine builder of traveler mandolins and Redline Resos. It's really funny watching her go through the daily anticipation...

I got to play Joe's Laplant for a few hours while we were in Maine this summer. I'm far from good and I couldn't believe the sound coming out of that thing. It was incredibly easy to play. Every note...

my little brother worked for best buy geek squad in college. Their little trick they pulled on each other was spraying keyboard cleaner closely against someone else's scalp. What happens? The hair...

John Gathright builds a killer in your budget. I just got my new F5 from John in September, I swear it gets better every day, which is hard to believe. Search Gathright on the cafe. I know its "been...

should be some good jams and certainly great music in claremore this weekend! Anybody else headed that way? Pretty amazing lineup this year.

I got the catalog and am thinking seriously about going next year. My dad grew up and went to school in Asheville and unc chapel hill. My parents lived there till I came along. I went out there for...

Anybody else going?

The wife (dobro) and I will be there.

Our first camp. Excited!!!!:grin:

Pickin for three days straight instead of working is going to be very nice.

I think that's my fern (fleurdelis) you're talking about. I can't wait!:grin: It was in the white when I was over there two weeks ago.

His shop is a toy store. There is always something different...

The show just speaks to us 'grassers, I think. I'm 27 and have loved the show since I was a kid. Very fond memories of watching it with my grandpa and dad.

We were too far back to tell. Sounded great, though.

I saw them in February at Argyle BG in Texas. Excellent show. The bass player was pretty funny, did most of the talking between songs and had an incredibly big, bright red beard. Mandolin player...

I just watched the Steve James disc 1 on Tuesday night. I enjoyed it and got quite a bit out of it. There's a fun little blues boogie-woogie on it that I have been playing constantly since. Most of...

acoustic music camp in august in dallas, and portland, maine july 16-24. Very excited.
