Present from my wife and its first spin

[mthatcher61]

I came home from work last Thursday night and my wife had a really nice surprise for me. Something I've been wanting a long long time.

So later on I got to take it for a little spin. I'm a very happy camper.

Looks like both wife and mandolin are keepers! Congratulations! :mandosmiley:

[Jess L.]

Sweet! :mandosmiley:

You said you hadn't played mandolin in awhile, but it doesn't show, you're playing really good :mandosmiley: (certainly better than I did when I first picked up a mandolin again after not having played anything except keyboards in umpteen years), don't worry it will all come back really quick! :mandosmiley: :)

Congrats Mark - what a nice F5G. And your playing is more than just fine.. What's the name of the tune BTW?

[F-2 Dave]

Sounded like Leather Britches to me. Nice mando, Thatch.

[mthatcher61]

Bill, Its a 2009 F5G.

And F-2 Dave, you are keeeereect! "Leather Britches" is the tune I am attempting to play.

[mthatcher61]

Thanks for all the kind words everybody. And yes, she ( my wife) is most definitely a keeper. So is the mando :)
