I would like to say hello to all the cafe' members. I have been reading the boards for several years now and cannot tell you how much useful information I have found here. You guys are a great help to a lot of people that you don't even know about, ( and sometimes funny too). I have been a Mando freak for about 20 years now. I am currently playing a Flatiron F-5 (Weber signed) 1984 I think, I will have to look again to be sure. I spend more time playing than I do reading the label. I would not trade my mando for anything(my wife is jealous). I am playing in a newly formed bluegrass band and also play in a country band where I provide the grass when it's my turn at the mic. I do as many bluegrass festivals as time will allow, and have met some of the greatest people, I hope to meet some of you guys,(and gals) too. I will sign off leaving this just short of a novel and once again say thank you, thank you, thank you. #Oh Yeah. I live in Kearney Mo. and some day hope to travel to Mars, just to jam with friends.

Welcome aboard Jim, I'm sure you'll pick up (and be able to share) even more info now that you can join in on the discussion, ask any questions that come to mind, help out relative newbies like me, and all that good stuff.
