I first met Phil thru the Cafe and then in person at Steve Kaufman Camp back in 05. Since then we attended more Kaufman Camps, Augusta Heritage Bluegrass Weeks, Swanannoa Gatherings, and Pete...
And a great base for Gumbo.
Only when they're tuned with a box cutter.
I would look into Audey Ratliff's Country Boy series of both A and F style mandolin's. Good bang for the buck on a small shop instrument.
I'm hearing both words at the same time. Is that even possible? No wonder I wreck so many jams.
+10 Three dang Telecasters in the closet tattled on me
Still have mine and just got finished picking on it just a few minutes ago before I found this current thread. I've actually kept this mandolin longer then any other one I've owned. Hoping Stanley...
Going again next year, Phil. Been a few years and I've missed it.
Sorry for your loss. Three that come to mind are 1. How Great Thou Art.

Looks like there might be writing on it. I tried with a magnifying glass to read it but my eyes are shot. Well at least blood shot this morning.

I have a feeling that I might have to do the same thing. I'll give it another week. I have not emailed or sent him a message yet.
Wasn't there a major rock band that had a washer and dryer on stage during one of their tours? Thinking it might have been Rush. You could throw a load in and sit back and take in the show.
Looks like a case of fireplace poker to me.
Oh you'd stand out all right in a jam. Like a Limburger cheese sandwich in a crowded elevator.
There must be a Society of Dyslexic Luthiers some where on the planet. Or as on the Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer show, the Land of Misfit Mandolins.
What was the title of the c.d. ?
Why would you want Black TF140's? Everyone and their brother knows the white ones have better tone.
Two octave range on a barber comb.
I have a cheap in case hygrometer in a Chinese fiddle case that has been stuck on 50% for 5 years. I'm going to pull it out and and operate on it. Got a feeling the little indicator needle is just...
