After reading a post on MC by someone who dropped a new set of Schallers into his snakehead, I gave it a try and found that they were indeed a perfect fit (one of the tuner posts had somehow gotten...
No problems here. A person with a masters degree can make more than that per hour plus get benefits (which I'm pretty sure being a Blues Mandolin teacher doesn't offer). I figure Rich has at least a...
This little book/cd by Dix Bruce has that song and shouldnt set you back too much $$

Started at age 30. Turn 52 on Saturday. Jeez, can that be right?
Every time I start to get stage fright, I just start thinking about how much I'm getting paid for doing the gig. When I consider that then I realize it's probably not worth getting too worked up for....
Guess as long as I'm around I'll give it a try (though it seems like I've lived in a series of "non-places"):
*Westmoreland/Fostoria, Kansas
*Coal Valley, Illinois
*Kewanee, Illinois
*Melvina,...
Well thanks for your comments, everyone. I have to admit that when I first saw the commercial, I sort of resembled...er,um...resented the implication that bluegrass pickers are a bunch of old guys in...
Has anybody else seen the commercial with the bluegrass band sitting around #playing? What do you thing about bluegrass being used to market Vi agra? And of course, what would Bill think? #...
In earlier years I wore a heavy band that I was always taking off and unfortunately lost a couple..oops.. Nowadays I wear a very thin ring from somewhere in southeast Asia and most times I don't...
Hmmm...maybe I'd better have a look at this. I frequently get the nod to just play some solo mandolin while waiting for church to start and so I'm looking for music of this sort. Thanks for the tip....
I just spent a week in downtown Portland. Pioneer Music (as mentioned) has a good selection of Collings as well as some Eastmans, etc.(not to mention some cool guitars). Also you should take a look...
My oval hole A is so loud that it sometimes hurts my ears to play it. Not so the A5. However, if I play both from across the room for my wife/kids and then ask which is loudest, they always say the...
What a great weekend! My personal favorites were Tim O'Brien and Cornbread Nation/DGQ with Darrel Anger, Ronnie, etc.?/Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver. Rhonda was great as well. Also, I was tickled to...

Got a K & K pickup/mic unit long with a pre-amp/blender. Totally cool setup. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif
I spent a couple of formative years in rural Haiti. In the quirky French Creole of that country, moun=person mon=mountain, i.e. a mountain person or hillbilly. Really unsophisticated people, many of...
How about tap-dancing and saxophone? I was wandering around the Oregon Country Fair and came across this guy:

My wife is very supportive of my music - she always listens for the mandolin parts when I perform and gets a bit testy if it's lost in the mix. I think part of the reason that she approves of my...
Actually I can claim the inverse of your original proposition, that is a hobby I seem to have taken up because of the mandolin. That hobby is photography. I've been a sort of closet photographer for...
That Xray JPEG is on Page 54 of the mandolin archive under #77166. How do I know? I took it! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif
Mandolin orchestra!? We don't need no stinkin' mandolin orchestra! # http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
[I]Didn't Mussolini fall out of favor after the war too? ;)
An old WW II vet once showed me a photo he had taken of Mussolini. If bullet holes are a sign of disfavor, then YES. Fortunately no...
sounds like a great "Al Kabong" mandolin too. What was that cartoon actually called anyways?
If memory serves me correctly that would be "QuickDraw McGraw" aka El Kabong....
I agree with J Garber that the Gibson A/Collings A would make a nicely complementing set. I own a Gibson Snakehead A-1 as well as a Collings MT2 and betwixt the two of them, most of my playing needs...
