I got mine monday, and I am thinking about going the spiral route too. What an ingenious idea.....Kevin

Congratulations to Chris Thile, when people look at me all crazy when I say I play the mandolin I just pull up his classical stuff on youtube to show them. This is also a boost for me personally I...

I just got mine, and have read through it. I found I already have all the necessary tools, and I cleared off my work bench before I came into work this evening as I plan on spending the weekend...

Nothing to add that hasnt already been said but So long Andy, you sure made life down here a lot funnier............Kevin

No apology necessary, looking back at my posts I am the one coming across as a jerk, for that I want to apologize. As for being down on school music programs, there is only one program I am down on...

I assume this was directed at me since I was the only one who used the word jerk in referrence to a band director. One) as to conformity and submission what else do you call it when the child who...

Which, as I noted, is exactly what happened to me. Forced to play an instrument I didnt want to play, forced to play "band" music, and a jerk of a band director. If I hadnt come frm a family of...

Maybe I am, as someones stated earlier, a contrarian. But school killed music for me. When I was coming up in Austin, as a sixth grader you got to "choose" one elective from a choice of 2, band or...

Acoustic Dwight Yoakum " Buenos Noches From a Lonely Room"
I searched til I found them, then I cursed at the sight
Of their sleeping shadows in the cold neon light
In the dark morning silence I...

Glad its not just me.........Kevin

I also realize that my situation is unusual, but when you are dealing with the stress of horses, mules, pack string, and a couple of dudes who usually have limited (at best) experience in the saddle,...

Both of mine are beaters I guess, by price. I have my first, an A style savannah, that I spent 65 bucks on. I fairly recently "upgraded" to a Morgan Monroe. The Savannah is now my "beater" which is...

He plays an ovel hole A that I cant identify, I wish I could figure out how to embed it..........Kevin

As the man once and now for something completely different, I am a huge fan of cowboy music, and Don Edwards is one of the best, that and I love Nanci Griffith, there is mando content but it appears...

Even though I dont know much about mandolins (yet), I do know collectibles. Generally speaking used anything, (unless you buy for pennies on the dollar) is not an investment, the high dollar items...

Collings MTO..........kevin

Thanks Bill and Lee, I never thought of looking at SHSU's music dept............Kevin

JLewis welcome from your neighbor, we will have to get together.............Kevin

Thanks Ed!

Its just what I have gleaned from conversations on here. Its why I asked because I dont know, and I thought it prudent to ask....Kevin

Yeah well small town music store whatcha gonna do? He is a decent guy and makes his living selling guitars to college kids and band and symphony instruments to jr high and high schoolers. It's also...

I posted along these lines in another thread, but rather than take over that one I thought that i would start its own thread. As a newcomer to the mandolin, I play a very low end basic Savannah...

Ok here is a real newbie question along these lines, I have been playing a vey low end (probably the lowest) Savannah mandolin for about a year now. I have been saving money for a new quality...

Oh man, that brought back a bad memory. 10 years or so ago, my dad and i flew to Argentina for a bird shoot, one of the members of our party got to the lodge opened his LOCKED guncase and discovered...
