    I am almost ashamed to admit this but, I am on this recording. Three tunes actually. I don't know if I want to admit that is was fun. But Hey it pays the bills. Oops that may start a "he sold out" thread.

    As long as you sell out for the right reasons it really is OK. Your work on this CD is exceptional.

    It's on I Tunes today only for $4.99 and the first 100 buyers will get a gift certificate for some frozen steaks! The album is great!

    John, that's awesome! What tracks are you playing on?
    I'm listening right now. This is awesome stuff!
    The version of Love Game here is a classic. I love how funky Peter Ostroushko's playing is on this track!
    Great stuff!

    I caught up with Avi Avital a few weeks ago who shared that he provided some backing tracks for Heavy Metal Lover. Wow. I am totally blown away!

    Finally - THE album that will really put the mandolin on the map and bring it widespread recognition of its possibilities among the general public. Including Justin Bieber was a brilliant marketing ploy, and it's also encouraging to see how his picking is coming along. My favorite - Frank Wakefield on "Speechless." Just keeping him speechless for a few minutes is quite an accomplishment!

    Sony beat me to the punch. I am in the middle of producing an accordion and banjo tribute to Gaga.
    I hope this doesn't effect my album sales..

    Different markets, so no competition - each might actually boost sales of the other a bit. Most buyers will be Gaga fans, and these little monsters can't get enough of anything associated with her. Should do fine.

    Awesome.

    Just what us REAL bluegrass pickers have been waiting for.... could it possibly get any better than this? I doubt it. Then again... I have been wrong before.

    This isn't a rhetorical question but a serious one ... What's the right reason to sell out?

    I'm holding my breath until the tablature comes out on all these great covers. Oh, wait, I don't read tabs.

    This is going to be a blockbuster! The follow up is Snoop Dogs Golden oldies. Sony is really on top of it.

    Awesome! I'm busy now learning the Poker Face break. Does anyone know if that's Steffy on this cut? It sounds like him.

    Scott,

    Shame on you for toying with my emotions, for putting my dream on display for all to snicker over. I was disappointed when Cher didn't release an all mandolin album, heartbroken when Madonna refused and now...just when it looks like dreams can come true...more heartache in the form of this cruel April Fool's joke. Has anyone approached Miley Cyrus?

    Surely not?

    You disappoint me. I had just taken my complete Bear Family Monroe boxed set out back and burned it on hearing this news, as I knew it was now obsolete!!!!

    I heard that Doyle Lawson was slated to do a cover of "Judas," but ended up having to cancel it because he had previous engagements.

    I thought I had fat-dingered the URL when I saw Lady Gaga on the front page... It's all good, just unexpected. And this is coming from a Gaga fan... I'm looking forward to hearing this one for sure.
