In this case, they didn't offer me anything outragous or unbelievable. The come on was that tey wanted to distribute my CDs. Had the deal been legit, I would only have made about $500.
I've...
I've already done so.
The more I think about it, the more I think tht carrying a gun is a very bad idea. I seriously doubt that these guys would come to L.A. to make trouble for me, but if they...
I have 2 CDs on CD Baby. Recently I received a letter from somebody calling himself “Sean Macko,” claiming to be a distributor located in England, who said he wanted to buy 100 copies of each. I gave...
If you're going to get 2 mandolins, I suggest one F hole and one oval hole. I think the different sound holes will provide more tonal variety that two of the same style holes with different brands.
My two Rigel A+ deluxes (deluxi?) soumd completely different from each other. The different sound holes give them competely differnet tones. The F hole has more bark. The Oval hole has a warmer more...
I'm sure McCahes in Santa Monica can help you out.
I can't speak for the ovation, but the Weber is wonderful. If I had the bucks, I'd buy one in an instant.
The internal pickup Rigel uses has a great sound, but not a lot of volume. It needs some sort of external pre-amp to go with it. I use an MXR micro amp. I paid 60 bucks for it. There are several...
Absolutely. I love my 2 Rigels, and the guys are 2 of the coolest peopole I've ever met. Plus, Peter Mix is a KILLER player.
This is different.

I think you will be very pleased.
One thing about Rigels: As you know, they all come with internal Peizo pickups. These pickups require some sort of pre-amp. But when a pre-amp is built into an...
I tried both, and chose the Rigel. But I certainly would have been happy with a Collings (or a Breedlove or Weber.)
The bottom line is that it's a matter of personal preference. Some people like...
Magnificent Michael will do nicely http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
I got the nickname Pedal Steel Mike at a former job where there was another guy named Mike,...
Another amazing performer
Chriss Bliss
As in all You Tube videos, you need to give the movie a few minutes to download before playing it.
Be sure to have the sound turned up.
Come on M-F, stop holding back. Tell us how you REALLY feel about this instrument.
P-Funk also used a pedal steel on one of their recordings.
I never cared for them or that syle of music, but they seem to have more going on than I originally thought. I think I'm going to go to...
I suggest the first CD by the Modern mandolin quartet. Music of Bach, deFalla, Hindemith, stravinsky, Bartok, Mendelssohn, Debussy, Beethoven and others.
I also suggest the CD by the Austrailian...
Does anybody remember him from the old Steve Allen show? The "Man On The Street' interviews? He was hilarious.
My second chice would be Ray Charles. But the guy I mentioned earlier was actually better.
Back in the 70's I ised to work with a singer named Charlis Cota. Charlie never made it, but he was absolutely the best singer I ever heard in my life. He was as soulful as Ray Charles, and his...
Rant: This is not right. The record companies refuse to amle this wonderful material available, and they won't let people make copies of their private recordings and give them away. This is not the...
Scott, I understand that it may be illegal for me to sell them, even for just the cost of the blank CD-R and the postage, but is it also illegal to make them and give them away for free?
