All the cool kids are coming so be there.

I am very thankful to have fiddler's green in austin. I started getting interested in mandolins in 1996 - I don't think Collings were building mandos in that day and there certainly were not any really good dealers in that time - I bought my first two decent mandos from Dale Cater way back when - I remember my third or fourth upgrade was a rigel ct 110 - I drove the 9 hours from austin to mineola roundtrip before a band practice sunday night.
I have been in the fiddler's green shop a few times now and I really like the folks there - it's a great shop with a great selection of mandolins - I especially liked the Altman 2 pointer - out of my price range but a great instrument.
With all of that said, It is just great to have a real mando shop in Austin. It's been a long time coming!!!
