    Re: Contest Picking

    Chris Goertzen's book, Southern Fiddlers and Fiddle Contests, provides some good advice from a judge's perspective. And it is good read.

    Re: Merrill & Company's #1 F5

    That's beautiful.

    I'm unfamiliar with the builder. Can you tell us anything more about the mandolin or its builder?

    Re: Gibson Sam Bush strings:

    Lately I've been using either J-75s or Sam Bush strings on my A-9. I like both, but have a slight preference for the Bush strings.

    Re: New Gibson A-35?

    Thanks, Trey.
    I wonder if it will be a limited edition, and how it will differ from the regular A5 (other than in color, of course.)

    Re: A couple more Gibson A9 questions

    I also have a 2004 A9.
    Has the Grover tuners and no fretboard dots. I've been told by someone who should know that it has a bone nut, though I'm not sure how you can tell.

    The Parking Lot Picker's Songbook by Dix Bruce has over 200 songs. It is great for getting down a basic version of a lot of common songs.
