    Re: Trad Jam in Ottsville, PA

    Can't see how to edit the original post, so I'd like to add that sheet music is available on the above linked website and at the session itself. Also, we ask for a $5 donation for use of the building.

    Re: What to do with your old dead battery Snarks !

    I liked my Snark until recently one of the three little plastic tabs on the back broke off. The two remaining ones held it on for a while, but not anymore.

    Congratulations, old man! (I can say that . . . I'm 60.) I started playing fiddle and mandolin (mostly alone in my kitchen) when I was about 55 and have been reluctant to participate in the local...

    Re: Fort meyers fla?

    I was going to recommend Real Guitars on Fowler Street in Fort Myers, but it turns out that he retired and closed the shop in 2012. That was a really nice store . . . not many mandos, however.

  14. Re: What's the best way kill the (tin can) sound in A E strings?

    I have a Kentucky KM-162. Gibson "Sam Bush" strings seem to take away a lot of the tinny sound and excessive brightness. Also, make sure your bridge is fitted correctly and makes good contact with...

    Re: IV kit blues...

    Might it be better to remove the back and kerfing and re-install the back with new kerfing? You might try to humidify the instrument and see if things start to line up better. Trying to glue and...

    Shannon did mention they're from Philly. Tomoko is no longer with the band, she left to concentrate on jazz. Unfortunately my short-term memory isn't so hot, the new fiddler is from...

    David Curley/Runa

    Saw Runa, a new-to-me Irish band, last night. Their David Cooley is an impressive mando player, and guitarist Fionan de Barra is no slouch, either. Highly recommended.

    Re: A wonderful resource

    Yes, I think this is by far the best music site on the web, even though I've pretty much abandoned the mando for the fiddle. Everyone here is very generous and gracious with their knowledge.

    Le Pogonip

    Anyone know where I can find notation for the Quebecois-style tune Le Pogonip? Maybe some West Coasters would know, I think it was written in Oregon or Washington.

    TIA!

    My cats are mostly feral, even though they've lived in the house for four years. So, while they'll sleep on beds and chairs, and on my feet, they warily avoid potential traps like arms, boxes and...
