It always kills me...the instruments that are displayed on instructional books. I'd love to hear the discussion that leads to the final choice.

It's perfect. No self-respecting Complete Idiot would play bluegrass on anything but a blonde Eastman F4.

Man, I'm tempted to order this one. Maybe I'll wait, though my idiot-ness isn't quite complete.

Has anybody seen a table of contents? Or as we b'grassers say, "le tableaux des contents?"

Dennis Caplinger is quite a well respected musician and producer. He gigs quite a bit with John Moore.

It's a naturally occurring plant found in the southern regions of North America - but that's not important right now...

Well, it's titled "Idiots," so it probably was assumed that the picture didn't matter. Still better than a pair of scissors or a tire pump, eh?
