This. Likely because it was on a Monroe album, Saga figured it was Monroe's to begin with. Once you give a gift, it's the recipient's to do with as they wish, however artwork, song lyrics and photos...
Keith, IIRC, you live in the TC area. I bought a LM600 from Robert that you are welcome to try. I love it.
He needs big white porkchop sideburns for the "tone".
Thile and Matthews- -great musicians making bad music, for me anyhow.
But that doesn't surprise me. I am very linear when it comes to music. Anything tangental I don't like. For example- I like the...
I am surprised nobody has addressed how the mandolin is being held. Keep it off your chest or belly- that's like a wet blanket. You'll really notice the difference if you just make an effort to make...
Had the Eastman, sold it, got the Loar 600 and have been extremely satisfied in every way. Best value in mandos that I've played. And it just gets better and better.
That's really quite demeaning calling a corporation bloodless that provides jobs and benefits for hundreds of thousands of people. How big does a corporation have to be when they go from acceptable...
I dunno.
He's a great songwriter, had a successful recovery and that's great.
He's one of those guys who can't keep his mouth shut and is passionate about many things with which I disagree.
That...
I love my Loar 600. I sold and Eastman to buy it. The Eastman I was able to play and liked it; however the Eastman never really opened up, and after owning a Summit and a King Brown, I was quickly...
The one I played was under the same circumstances-
There was a post here years ago where folks were talking about Loars. I said I never had the pleasure. A member here who lives near me emailed me,...
You get used to that neck real fast, it's like anything new, just takes adjustment.
The tone made made me forget about the neck in a week.
Get the red rubber washer off of a Grolsch beer bottle, slip it over the strap when on the peg. If you can't find one, go to the hardware store and get a similar sized rubber washer.
They both work...
I don't think it'll burst. At least it hasn't since I joined the cafe and this same topic was covered then and many times since.
No, anywhere I fret. It's not buzzy, it's just a wonderful tone swell.
I really am in love with this mandolin.
It's very complex and unbelieveably resonant.
I was playing last night, just fingering single notes and slowly letting them ring, marvelling at the tone....
Supply and demand based on opinion(good, very subjective) and heresay(bad, prone to ego and boasting). I used to be a cork sniffer, now I'm a cork listener.
If a guitar or a mandolin happen to be...
Good description- it is quite the manly...uh...appendage!
Dang, I just got mine today in the mail. While the wood isn't the flamiest I've seen, it's not plainest either. As for the sunburst, mine is that classic dark around the edges and not too bright in...
Listen to Ron Thomason of Dry Branch Fire Squad. His playing on "Atlanta is Burning" or "Memories That Bless and Burn" epitomizes pretty playing.
Sure, he can burn too, but these songs make people...
Nashville and Brown County in general is a neat place to see.
As I said earlier, the Nashville House is great- touristy, but great. Fried chicken, country ham, biscuits, homemade jam. I dig a stop...
I wish I could. My grandparents lived in Columbus, so we spent a lot of time at Bean Blossom, Gnaw Bone and Nashville.
Eat some fried biscuits and apple butter for me at the Nashville House, I'd be...
Stick to music, not politics.
By the very nature of this post, you're gonna start a fight, despite "not wanting" to.
NOT to be a wet blanket, but those old bowlbacks are a dime a dozen with most being copies. There are great copies of Les Pauls everywhere, but Gibsons, like Larson and Maurer are pretty well marked....
Best pick I've got that has "that sound" is a chunk of ivory.
When my Mom passed away in '99, one of her jewelry items was a beaded ivory necklace. It had a large piece in the middle. It was too...
