A bit over two years ago, this joker listed himself as a builder of " The Spurge Mandolins" under the name Jason Spurgeon.

Wayne makes nice use of the Mandola on several tunes with IIIrd Tyme Out and on at least one tune from his Anthology CD.
Well played, indeed. ;)

Kyle is great! His right hand is wicked and his left hand is finding cool tones up and down the fretboard.
My wife and I picked up Kyle's CD at Glen Hensley's booth (of the missed Lonesometown...
Quote: Anybody else notice a correlation between having a nip and slow practice progress?
I don't think a singular nip, or even two small ones would be too detrimental to most practice regimens...
I guess of all my possessions, my main Mandolin would top the list. When we have visitors, my wife introduces them to my "mistress". The puzzled and angry looks usually disapear when we reveal that...
Both. :)
Performed a lacquerectomy on the neck of my first mandolin, an Oscar Scmidt A. I was (and still pretty much am) clueless about all aspects of Lutherie, so I started with 60 grit sandpaper...

Yeah, the piano was a bit of a shock. But, you must admit, he tore it up! A bit more Allman Bros than Bluegrass - which for one or two songs, is fine by me. Good music is good music. If the piano had...
Anyone else make Lexington this weekend? We spent the latter part of Saturday enjoying the scene. Doyle Lawson - wow. The man can pick (note subtle understatement) and those boys can SING.
