The only one I'm aware of is the one that Music Folk has once a month-it's not new though-been going on for quite a while. They may be aware of others if you call and ask. I'm across the river in...

Nice looking instrument-once you go play it you will know - that's how it works for me anyway. I have more instruments than I really need but like each one of them.

I have never been a big fan of BG but have learned to appreciate Jim and Jesse and the Stankey’s and the like. I am taking a class that is an instructional jam session which is taught by an...

MAS hit me too ! Just bought a new Weber Yellowstone this morning. I had to send my Gallatin back to Weber after dropping it. Music Folk in St. Louis helped me pack it for shipping last Friday. I...

It’s worth the drive for me but I’m within 40 miles from the music store. I have a Weber Gallatin and it’s my favorite. There’s nothing like holding the instrument and sitting down to play it for a...

Thanks for the encouragement Dave. I am going to give it a try. The music store where I play jams and take my Mando lesson has over 300 fiddles for sale. I may have some questions for you when I...

I'm loving these conversations. You guys are hilarious. But seriously, I do think I want to try the fiddle. 🎻I'm not very good at mandolin or guitar but why let that hold me back. It takes a lot...

Ditto for me as well. I've gotten off of some of those sites as well. The Moderators here do a great job! This is the only forum I check daily. Always good information and advice. Thanks guys!...

Very nice. I agree - it is a beauty.

I saw them in St. Louis last Friday and they were fantastic. What a great show. When Sierra would walk over to switch instruments she would cough and get a sip of water. Really bad cough too. Her...

Mark,
I know what you mean. He is so obviously happy. The audience adored him and there were all ages. He has a ton of admirers in this area. Sierra was amazing as well last night at the...

Mark,
I'm off work tomorrow so I'm going to a Jam Session after work. So that will be a double coffee ~o) ~o) or huge Mountain Dew tonight! :mandosmiley: I think I'll take a nap tomorrow...

:mandosmiley: Sam Bush was in St. Louis last night at The Old Rock House. How amazing! He is such a fantastic talent and obviously loves performing. His band is over the top as well. The stars...

I've got Sam's 2 disk DVD "Mandolin Method" Homespun instructional set. I haven't been through both Dvd's yet but what I've watched so far is excellent. I would like to see him some time. I saw...

I just got an acoustic guitar a couple of weeks ago. After hearing all the acoustics in the jams I've been in lately I really missed my old guitar- it finally fell apart after my son started playing...

Mike,
That would smell good at least. My son has a fretboard conditioner he can clean it with that he said would probably do the trick - will use it the next string change. I'm glad it...

Hank,
There must be a lot of folks out there who are heavy on the perfumes and colognes. They may have a nice fragrance when on the body but sure are yucky on anything else.

I've never seen the baking soda dohickies- they'd be good for all lots of odor problems.

So true - a lot worse smells out there. I just detected that the smell is only on the fretboard and not on the body. The next string change I'll clean the fretboard and hopefully that will take...

There is a distinct odor of men's cologne I guess in the wood. The guy I bought it from must have worn a lot of cologne. Probably on his hands so I bet on the fretboard too. The finish is perfect...

Yea, Gladys,
Never a dull moment here. I heard a big bang coming from outside today and it was a truck pulling a flatbed trailer with 2 huge logs on it. The guys in the truck also had a...

I don't have that many- 3 so far. I'm somewhat of a beginner- only 2 years in but love the Mando- such an awesome instrument. I'm the only Mando in one of the Jams I was in lately and they all...

I left my beginner Rogue at my daughter's house. I won't need to take my good one when I travel to visit-just a 4 1/2 hour trip but at least its's one less thing to pack. I'm going to put some new...

Gladys,
It is cheaper than a kiln! I can so relate. My son is a luthier and my husband makes furniture- we have a sawmill.
There's wood everywhere!

I saw that program when it was on PBS and recorded a VHS at that time. I played it recently and of course it's degrading after all those years. I'm going to get the DVD - fantastic group of...
