I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. #In purely cold technical terms, it's worth exactly what someone will pay you for it. #If nobody will give $3000 for it, then it's not worth $3000.

No ... you don't. There's no such thing as music written for the mandolin -- a C chord is a C chord. As others have already pointed out here, a song played in C/F/G or G/C/D or whatever on guitar is...
Harry's Guitar Shop in Raleigh
Zepp Country Music in Wendell
Both about 90 minutes from Southern Pines.

I used to play in a trio that gigged 25-30 weekends a year for almost four years. #We used

Mark,
I appreciate Johnny's show of support -- Thank you, Johnny -- but I took no offense whatsoever. #In the absence of facial expressons and tone of voice, all I have to go on is words on a...
As far as I know -- bearing in mind that I'm neither an attorney nor a music promoter -- the rights to distribute that performance belong to whatever "entity" sponsored the performance ... festival...
Mark,
Yes I have ... however, I'm not trying to find fault with those who have more ambition/resolve/whatever than I have. #I greatly admire anyone who can stick to it -- I just can't. #If I have...
And I disagree. #The whole point -- as some others posters have said -- is to make music. #I use a capo all the time, because I'm too lazy to practice the mandolin. #I play it like a rhythm guitar,...

Keith,
So you're saying that even though this material had been released publicly, your church didn't have the necessary license to perform those specific pieces? #Makes sense ... however, if...
I've got a completely different question than the OP ... if this material had been recorded and released, then why did you ask permission to perform it? #If it was courtesy, that's one thing ... but...
I watched them all ... I still don't get it. # # #http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif

This is a mandolin forum -- it's not a church. #If you want to proselytize, find another place to do it! # # #http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif

What Bill said -- it's worked well enough for Tim O'Brien! #At that price point, your best bet is probably something in the Kentucky line. #Be sure to look for a solid top.

Mandroid and Tim did a pretty good job answering your question; I'll see if I can expand on what they've already said.

Next best bet after Zepp Country Music is Harry's Guitar Shop on the edge of downtown Raleigh.

OK, assuming that you either can't or don't want to add any songs that are more lively to the repertoire, then the two best ways -- in my not so humble opinion -- to keep the audience's attention are...
