Lumberjacks come from far and wide just to hear him chop.
The Lens Blog on The New York Times site has an interesting article on music photographer Marty Stuart. The first and last photos in the slideshow are of Bill Monroe. I love that first one.
You will find great satisfaction in a year when you loo back and see how far your have come. Keep it up. Music is free medicine for the brain and heart.
I've got an Lafferty F style. I love it. I was recently at a bluegrass camp and saw a good variety of other builders. I would't have traded for any of them.

Thought I'd revive this a little. It sounds to me like in the live versions he's playing in the key of A. It sounds to me like just A D and E, although he doesn't look like in the clip that he's...
I like playing music with others. I don't consider myself an introvert but I just don't know many folks that like acoustic music. Most of my musical friends play electric rock and blues. I need to...

Matt is teaching next month at the bluegrass workshop at the Ghost Ranch in New Mexico. Looking forward to learning what he wants to share. Very talented.
The Bluegrass workshop at the Ghost Ranch in New Mexico is less than a month away. Who besides me is going? Can't wait. I've heard great things.

Atlantic City by Levon Helm is a fun one. It also has one of the best opening lines,"They blew up the chicken man in Philly last night. And they blew up...
I have an American made Lafferty LF-5BW. It sounds great and is a real pleasure to play. I could't be happier. Not sure who made mine but they did a really great job.
While working in Vicksburg, Mississippi a friend invited me to bring by guitar and jam with a few of her friends. One of them had a mandolin that was sitting unplayed. Once I picked it up I could't...
I love this song. It was the first Sam Bush song I bought.
There is another post with the chords and tab for guitar:...
I have a Lafferty F style. It was about as much as a MT but I preferred it in sound and looks. Can't go wring with a Collins though.
I'd like to give em a try.:mandosmiley:
I play an American made Lafferty F style that I got from The Mandolin Store. I love the sound, quality of build, and the price is lower than your $3,500 range. If you are willing to spend that kind...

Check out the Song of the Week Social group. They have over 200 tunes they have worked on. There are videos and often times tabs to go from. Out of the 200 tunes up there, something is bound to...
