    Re: Some questions , some gossip

    Thanks for the welcome, Flatrock Hill! Whoops, this came in the wrong place, I'm rusty. As long as I'm here, I'm interested also Tiltman!

    Some questions , some gossip

    I haven't been on the site in four or five years. The mandolin has been under the bed as I've been concentrating on the lap steel, my primary instrument. It comes out and heads for a...
  4. Re: BB King Is Gone (But The Thrill Of His Music Remains)

    One of my heroes. I was lucky enough to see him in the late 70's. He put on a great show! It was a beautiful outdoor venue at about sunset. A wonderful evening. RIP B.B.!

    Re: One tip that changed everything

    Learning to control tremolo and do it by count has helped me take a big leap forward. It cleaned up my playing a whole lot! I'm not sure who to thank. Various people on various threads on the Cafe I...

    Happy Birthday, David! What an amazing journey you have had, please continue!
  8. Re: Al Di Meola plays my arrangement of "Napule è" by Pino Daniel

    Congratulations Giuseppe! I'm not familiar with Al but I do play guitar some and I'm fascinated with his right hand technique. Very nice.
  9. Re: Marissa Carroll: Technique, technique, technique.

    With due respect I didn't articulate well. I want much more bass response than treble in a mandolin when I play Bluegrass. An ff does that. That's where the good "chop" comes from for instance. An...
  10. Re: Marissa Carroll: Technique, technique, technique.

    I agree with this and with JeffD's post. The ff isn't balanced as well and so doesn't blend well across the strings. It has less sustain, and always comes across as too bassy in about any kind of...

    Re: Four videos with my brother

    Nice music, I enjoyed it very much!
  12. Re: Japanese Mandolins from the late 70s any good

    I had an Alvarez F5 copy back in the late 70's. It was one of the nicer models I don't recall which. It was okay, I felt at the time I got my money's worth. But as mentioned above there was nothing...

  14. Re: do you collect picks what do you do with them

    I have a ton of them! I worked in a guitar store in the late 70's and had a bunch of them already. I had a small plastic bag full of old National finger picks. I have sold them all but what I need....

    Re: Why I Don't Listen To Country Music.

    I go back to the mid-40's listening to Country music; listening to my Grandmother's Gene Autry and Hank Snow 78's when I was barely out of diapers. I lament the condition of Country music today for...

    Re: The Laurel & Hardy Theme

    Nice job, Giuseppe! Like Willie, I'm long time fan of Laurel & Hardy. I've always associated that song with them and never realized it was a real song so to speak.

    Re: Evaluating Mandolins at the Store

    I always make sure I hear someone else play it. Someone better than I am, which isn't hard to find. I think if I tried ten mandolins, any ten, I could eliminate seven of them pretty quick by just...

    Re: I got one.

    What Willie said.
    My last mandolin loved J74's, my current mandolin, not so much. It likes monels. So as Willie suggested, try some different sets and go with what YOU like best!

    I heartily agree with both of you! Anybody who can make a living playing the mandolin has my respect. Also Thile's influence is tremendous. And I mentioned Grisman. How many mandolin players began...

    Re: VIDEO: Nickel Creek : Toxic

    Why can't some people on this forum let you just "not prefer" Chris Thile's music? You have to love him or hate him. There seems to be some posters who just can't wait for the "Thile Haters" to begin...

    Poor grammar or spelling bothers me sometimes......and sometimes not. As posted above, this is a mandolin forum so as long as I can understand what the poster meant I'm okay. It's interesting to me...
