There is a KOA campground down the road. I've stayed there and liked it a lot.
If I can get my lazy bones motivated, I'll try and drive a bit to the other side of AVL for the evening do.

It bemuses me to note that Asheville considers itself to be 'The Paris of the South'.....
Well, they don't speak French either......
There are lots of mandolins around; I have a whole mess of them....
Last time I knew, Brian A. had an April 25, 1923 that belonged to a fellow from Boston. Ron also has a LL signed F-5.
Two separate tunes. 'Trombolin' has two parts; I have recordings of WSM playing both parts. Skip Gorman might have been given his copy of it by me...
That is most likely the only Loar-signed mandolin that Apollon owned; looks like the owner is quite happy!!!
The top on the mandolin has a very unique 'distressed finish' look to it. Interesting tailpiece also.

I have two McCray picks, a 1.5 and a 1.8mm. I like them but I am not sure they are the cat's pajamas. I think sometimes they sound better than my equivalent sized BC picks, but I do go back and...

F5Loar: One word is worth a thousand pictures!!!!
Lotta pick-click on that puppy.
I have bulk packages of the unwound steel strings.
I buy the GHS silk & bronze G & D strings in bulk from juststrings.com and use my own 12 & 16 E and A strings. very happy with that combination.
Bill Monroe played it as a two-part tune.
there are several versions of Bill Monroe playing it on Facebook, in the Monroe Mandolin group. There is one two-part version and a three-part version as well.
June 9th is a month before July 9TH!
