February 8, 2005 was the re-release date of one the very best mandolin recordings of all time in our opinion: Tiny Moore & Jethro Burns, Back To Back.
A 1923 Gibson Master Model F-5 Mandolin signed by Lloyd Loar in the Classifieds.
Pre-order: Punch Brothers new CD Who's Feeling Young Now? From: Punch Brothers | amazon.com | Elderly.
A bit of fun researching original Loar owners: appears we're about to learn the name of the original owner of a March 31, 1924 Fern Loar.
A sweet price if it ends up that way: an Ellis mandolin with a starting bid of $7K.
