Keillor's singing is obviously not professional and boring to some. But maybe his singing and certainly his humor (his writing) made PHC what it's been. He's why people listened to the show. ...
Hope this new info. Those interested in blues and the mandolin might be interested in these two items.
1. Google PRX Blues Unlimited #165: Wind City Mandolin for a two-hour show on the mandolin in...
[QUOTE=Megaphone;1394716]Hi all. Well I am on week 4 of my approximately 5 week Navy underway period and the Mandolin practice is going well. I am pretty new to the instrument but I find myself...

StuartE,
Thanks for your post. The mandolin site has a great interview with Johnny Young. Anyone interested in his music should listen to (besides Chicago/The Blues/Today) this cd: *Mandolin...
Happy birthday a day late to Norman Blake. I hope he keeps writing for and performing on the mandolin.
4. Play scales with your tuner on to check your intonation.
As they say, NFI, but I'd recommend Darol Anger's cd.*Darol Anger's DIGTAL SRUTI BOX for intonation and zoning out.*
I don't...
Ditto on what Nashville has to say.
Two suggestions
1. Take a lesson or three with a violinist to get started on bowing, which is just about the whole deal about fiddling. Use what you learn...
Ah, but the stories it could tell. . . . .
Timbofood, I'd like to be that guy, but after today I only feel Old and in The way. It's been a long one.

[QUOTE=bossfrog;1381023] I wonder if the guy who has the original laminate that he tore up will ever donate it to the Bill Monroe Museum in Bean Blossom someday.
You mean "The Guy," right? I'll...
It's a great tune, especially when the key changes. Compton does the tune great.
Memory, don't fail me now. I think it's Kenny Baker's "Roxanna's Waltz." Baker started it in C and then shifted to A, at least that's what I remember.
Neither the fiddle or the mandolin has ever been a problem or my neighbor. One of my two cats, who I've had for a few years now, can't stand the fiddle live or recorded. Using one of those heavy...
My friends and I went into the first store. Great store with lots of great inventory, especially high end mandos. One of my friends plays a Gil and was interested in purchasing another mando. . . ....
[QUOTE=Mandoplumb;1370659] That being said I still know a dozen or more local pickers that no one has heard of outside this locality that is more innovative and "better" player than Bobby Osborne.

I wish I knew too. Is there a Blake video called *Planet Riders*, or something like that?
Jim,
I have Mike's A2-Z 25 and feel just as you do. Mike's work is wonderful--thanks for your post.
Nick, my experience playing with other instruments is very close to yours. My A2-Z #25 makes itself heard among with four or five instruments and while keeping an oval sound. Mike's work is...
Mik, this another beautiful and wonderfully sounding mandolin. Congrats on more fantastic work.
Randy
See Tom Dillon's café tab on this tune. It's based on Sam Bush's version and gives fingering very close to Bush's if it isn't exact.
[QUOTE=JeffD;1360700]Peter Ostroushko is one of my favorites. For a while I had his Mando Chronicles constantly playing in the background.[/QUO
Thanks for mentioning this cd set, Jeff. I've ad it...
Old threads, like Dracula, lie just waiting to be brought to life once more. After this current capo thread slips back on the General Mandolin Discussion pages, it will reappear and look for more...
But will Gibson let Bush himself know if the strings are discontinued?:))
