I enjoy playing Cold Frosty Morning on mandolin. Did some research and there doesn't seem to be a consensus on lyrics so I decided to write a version that has the feel...
Checked out the Mandolin Mondays yesterday and saw the link to Andrew Collins Trio's new concept album. Here's the description I copied: And It Was Good--a concept record that programmatically...
Just saw Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver and was really impressed with the way his mandolin sounded thru the PA. He mentioned it was a new DL Gibson mandolin and it did look brand spankin' new. He...
I've seen him several times at festivals in the last few years and he has never been talkative or preachy. He and Kentucky Thunder were fantastic. I'm not doubting that he doesn't share his faith or...
I'll second or third that these two are incredible places to play a variety of mandolins. Just a heads up that if you get a chance there are two other shops to check out in the Nashville area. Not...
Very interesting. There is a version of "The Wayfaring Stranger" (#177) where it is just Bill and his mandolin that is powerful. It sounds like it was live and he was in the moment! Anyone know...
If I stand up to "join in" then I get others behind me upset. Plus I paid for a seat and prefer to enjoy the music sitting for the most part. The Ryman isn't normally a "party atmosphere". I was...
They do sell beer, but these folks were going to stand intoxicated or not. It is a "thing" with the true Greensky believers it seems that to support the band you have to stand. It could've gotten...
They had the light show and it was very cool - what I could see of it.
Bluegrass Nights at the Ryman got ugly for some last night. I've been there for more traditional evenings and it has been great. I like all kinds of music and looked forward to seeing Greensky...
Thanks Keith for helping with the video. Just when you think you have it figured out...
Here's "Wheel Hoss" if I can get it right!

I had the pleasure to be at the Station Inn on 4/12 for a great evening of music with two great mandolin players. The Matt Flinner Trio played the first set and then invited Sam to join them for the...
Just saw this today and hadn't seen it posted here. Nice version.

Kudos on a very well done iBook.
Salt or no salt?
Settled on a Gibson A to take on the road traveling for biz. Decided I'll post pics of it like those lawn nomes :cool: Today at Lido Beach in Sarasota.

It was shared with me by a friend that found it doing some research. I got the impression it is a public record.
Another cool thing is where it mentions that Bill was at Mason's that day. I work close by and have eaten there many times (it is now Ruby's). I didn't know he frequented the place. I'm going to...
Came across a copy of the police report from the vandalism to Bill's mandolins. Not sure if it has been posted here before. I thought it was interesting. Note Lloyd Loar is called "Floyd Lord"..
As I struggle along with getting competent at taking a decent break here are a couple of things that have helped and I strongly suggest you focus on first... Learn to sing the song! Get the melody...
If the tone is too bright you can always ad a dimmer...
Second (or third, fourth) the Kentucky km150. Just got one used for $200 and am blown away. Granted it is nicely setup which is important.

Sorry, but that is one ugly lamp or mandolin or whatever. http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/images/smilies/grin.gif
Six years ago I was at the same place you are at with no music background and first instrument. Tried to go the route of books and dvd's and made some progress. I strongly suggest you also consider...
