Hardly a travesty, but it will be a luxury...while sitting in a lawn chair in a tiny room. I've seen Matt Flinner three times in that puny venue.

"Fame" may have been far reaching though I recognized your name. I'm in C-Dale often. We should grab a beer and a show at Steve's. I'll get in-touch through FB. I saw you work at BB now with my old...

Brian Holcombe formerly of Velonews fame? I live just up the road from you in Glenwood Springs. I'm not a frequent poster here, but welcome. Many wonderful people here on the Cafe.

Thanks for this thread Lefty. Because of it I picked up Joel's album entitled "Three" and absolutely love it!

Shoot! Beaten to my only "worthy" contribution on the `Cafe ever. Oh well. I'll shut up and go back to lurking.

Beatles, Stones and Zep were not "American Rock Bands". Iconic, but not American. So I would doubt if they can qualify. Neil Young, mentioned above, is Canadian. So I don't think he'll make the...

Jon, if that is a picture of your boy in your avitar, I'm afraid that there may not be hope.:crying:

Really Bill? You're Dead?

Awesome Eric! I've been following your excitement on the SCGC forum. Congratulations! Have fun at the show.

Thanks for chiming in Mandobart. I may have to contact Howard regarding a fiddle. Do you happen to know if they are as economically priced (relatively) as his mandolins?

Bruce Molsky is a favorite of mine. He has a trove of some of the most obscure OT tunes that I have ever heard.

The Freight Hoppers are another favorite. They really capture the bouncing rythmic...

I've got #117 (I think...I couldn't find Howard's e-mail) from 2008. Sitka/ Maple. Real nice mando. Not as loud as my others, but it has a nice sweet even tone. It is semi-custom with...

Looks pretty darn good Mark!

No kiddin' Malcolm! I also got more stiff rather than loosing stiffness with age. I guess I'd have to only measure these qualities in my brain, as that is the only part of my anatomy the closely...

:)) Very nice Dave!

Simple and elegant. Beautiful Hans!

I have heard of Lutz being used as a top wood.

I can't comment on the previous design either,sorry, but I also have one of the newer FT-Os and agree with Gerry that they are absolutely a bargin in a great playing and sounding mandolin. Chris...

There certainly are many options. But the big question is: Which one is the ABSOLUTE BEST option for my price range of $xx-$xxx? (I could swing a little more $ if necessary.) ;)

How about a chef's toque and a Cafe` apron. Surely a hit at BBQs.

Jamie, I just double checked your numbers and I think you are just ever-so-slightly off.

(Great post!):))

Thanks for the heads-up Patrick. Certainly not as "rootsy" but great stuff none the less. Wonderful songwriting and undulating grooves. Like it!

Yes, several. The only carved top that I am aware of is an A style from Howard Morris. The others are flat top mandos and you can find them from Arches (Chris Baird), Big Muddy (formerly Mid-Mo),...

It is also "patterned after a 1945 Lloyd Loar Mandolin...." I wonder where that 1945 Loar is right now....???:))

Swampy, I agree about that second solo. Kinda Monroe-esqe almost.
