Waiting for the banjo player to finish his solo...
Austin actually has a pretty big bluegrass scene, with tons of jams, and there's a lot of Irish music, as well. Just hang around Fiddler's Green music shop and ask around. They'll be able to tell...
You'll love the area. I got to live in Tennessee for about 10 years, and in Knoxville for 3 while I was going to grad school. I try to get back at least once a year. Autumn is really spectacular! ...
I had forgotten that Lawrence Smart is up there, as well. Best wishes to you, Lawrence and Fletcher and everybody in that area. Stay safe!
Wow. The waiting list is up to two years now?!?
Just so y'all are warned -- United just changed their policy back from the stance they took after "United Breaks Guitars" went viral. You used to be able to at least gate check guitars and other...
Just so y'all are warned -- United just changed their policy back. You used to be able to at least gate check guitars and other nice instruments. Now they make you check them all the way through to...
Hi, Mandolin Cafe folks! Roll call! Is anybody else going on this cruise this week?
I think that, alone, would be worth the price of admission! :))
As a female, I have to say...the prospect of seeing the Punch Brothers in their swim trunks is pretty intriguing, too!
Hi, Bob! I'm going on this too! Can't wait. My folks got me my snow tires for Christmas, which freed up my budget to go on the cruise. When my mom apologized for not getting me something more...
F5 Loar -- I believe the festival takes over the entire ship. Since there will be 4 or so locations with music going constantly (including the main auditorium and the pool decks), and several jam...
When Fletcher built mine, I had it done with the G and D in octaves, as well, with the lower string struck first in the downstroke. It gives the sound a kind of sparkle that I really like. ...
I can't wait to hear her new album, and I was excited to hear that she'll be performing at the 40th Annual Telluride Bluegrass this summer. She's an amazing artist, and from what I've gathered from...
Ah. It's the chords with the numbers in them that I wasn't getting. I guess it's time to start learning some of those... Music theory is the bane of my existence. Thanks, Chip!
Okay, y'all. This one will probably be easy for most of you, but the chords on this one are giving me fits. Does anybody have any ideas? It doesn't seem to be a straight 1-4-5, although it looks...
Hey, Chip and Chubakkah -- I just had my Brock checked over and the truss rod adjusted. The guy in my shop here in Steamboat Springs said I *do* need to give it a bit more humidity. I put a second...
There it is! That's just beautiful, Chip!
I've found that my Brock OM is pretty immune to the dry air up here in northwestern Colorado. I use a damp-it on that and on my regular mandolin. I hope I'm doing enough to keep them from getting...
This makes me really sad. I've been wanting to visit one of Mrs. Hyatt's jams for a few years now, but I haven't been able to make the trip out there. How much does Mrs. Hyatt need to keep her...
The red sunburst finish looks incredible! Congratulations, Chip!
I love that red finish, Chip! You're so lucky that you get to watch yours being made. I'd love to come out and meet Fletch someday and see his shop.
Hey, Chip! I had to miss Targhee again this year, too. Makes me sad. But I'll have to work on my skills so I can keep up with you, Ben and Sarah for our "First Annual Epic OM Jam".
Can't wait...
Mine took about 10 months. I'm not sure about the wait time now. (About a year, Chip?) I think he's charging $4350 with the sunburst finish, and $4200 with the (equally stunning) blonde finish. ...
When my Brock was made last summer, I had the option of paying extra for a Calton that was custom-fit to the octave, or for a custom Cedar Creek. Ben Winship has a Calton for his, and he says it...
