Where is your mandolin? Oh, wait, am I on Motorcycle Cafe? :)

It's strapped to the sissy in the first pic! :grin:

[Mandobar]

mark, nice bike. is it a custom?

[houseworker]

the title says; 'Post a picture of yourself' not, 'post a pic of you and your mandolin'... well, guess i'm being too literal,

'Post a picture of yourself" not, "post a pic of your motorcycle" or are you really the invisible man (pic 2)? :grin:

[mtucker]

yes, think of me as the 'headless horseman' ... git along little doggies :mandosmiley:

[mtucker]

mark, nice bike. is it a custom?

yes, it's a special custom dumpster diver, Mary!

[Mandobar]

So, yer saying its a do-it-yourselfer? ;)

Here I am this past March, and my recently retired (as of today since I got my KM950) Morgan Monroe.

No, it was built by a lover/ collector/expert of old motorcycles and old bits. I can certainly tell you alot about stuff, design, parts, mechanical workings, and am a fair wrench, but don't have time to hunt and build :grin:

[Pete Jenner]

Perhaps you may have the time to start a new thread.

[JEStanek]

Ah... there have been odds and ends photos of folks then a follow ups shot of something of interest (and there is interest) in this thread. It's not that strict of a thread. I was more disappointed we couldn't see his face than the follow up photo of the unusual bike but, I've come to terms with that disappointment and have moved on!

Well, it LOOKs like '47 Knuckle motor in a hard-tail frame, disc brakes on 18 in. wheels. How can you get away with running straight pipes, an open primary and no front fender in Cali? Oh wait...I know. Strap a mandolin to the sissy bar!

Okay, here's me playing with The Combinations at last weekend's Darrington Bluegrass Festival (http://www.darringtonbluegrass.com/). To my right are festival founding members Bertha Whiteside (Nations) on guitar and Roy Morgan on banjo. It's really quite an honor for me to be included in this group that has been a mainstay of the festival for 37 years!

On a mandolin related note, I'm playing my Collings MF-5 which turned 10 years old this year.

Hey Pete, by the look of the photo, it must be about 9am in Heathcote as you are having your first for the day hehehehe!
Nice set up with flute and cello, what was the number and what is the 2 point you are playin'?
Cheers mate

[Pete Jenner]

It was about 4PM in Redfern John. It was the first of the day. I think we were playing Windmills of My Mind. It's the mando I built.

Me on guitar and frank wakefield on mando.a few years ago.can't remember the other mando player. It was a fun weekend. Weekend fun a was it!

Ah Pete, like circles in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel, great. Hey post a photo of your two point it looks amazing. Redfern at 4 pm, better you than me gunga din.

Seriously though... got to play with a house band... I am doing a solo in a blues tune. Going to go play tonight with the female vocalist at an acoustic jam

[journeybear]

A few months ago my swing/jug band decided to busk at Mallory Square during the nightly Sunset Celebration. Solo musicians get short shrift there, and most passersby are attracted to the circus-type acts - jugglers, trained dogs, tumblers, tightrope walkers, and what not - but you get a bunch of scruffly skifflers together, merrily banging away on what-have-you, and you can attract and hold a crowd. We did this twice, and cleaned up both times.

[jessejsaunders]

I've been a decent guitar player for a long time, but played my first gig on mandolin with my new jam-grass band last night (only our 3rd show). Mandolin is making way more sense to me than guitar ever has. I'm still in the honeymoon period with the mandolin, but I'm looking forward to a long, happy marriage.

We even had two gig offers from people in attendance!

[whosebluesanyway]

Greetings, board. As my first post I thought I'd say hello. I'm a long-time guitar player who's recently made the switch to mandolin. I decided I wanted to be a lead guy instead of a rhythm guy. Chris Thile is a huge influence, along with Tony Rice, Bill Monroe, Tony Trischka, and Bela Fleck. I'm playing a Loar LM-600-VS and loving it. I'm using D'Addario EXP JL74's and a Wegen TF-140. The usual suspects. Having a blast learning my first dozen fiddle tunes and look forward to mingling with other mando enthusiasts.

This is an old one, but I like it. Coming back from Kyrgyzstan on a C-130, with my Flatiron. I found a nice Honeytone pocket amplifier at O'Brien's Music store in St. Johns, Newfoundland on a previous deployment. I used a tuner suction cup mike to the mando, and headphones over ear plugs, otherwise you'd never hear anything sitting in back between the propellers. Good way to kill part of an 8 hour drone when it's not your leg to fly.

I secretly gave him the name in hopes that one day it can be an excuse to get an actual Ellis F5 :cool:..."Hey Honey, wouldn't it be cool to buy our son a mando that has his name on it?"

My last band. I'm on guitar on far right. That was a trial gig with new material. Mostly acoustic rock. I usually dont use the music stand anymore and I play with totally different folks now. No drummer anymore but we do have a cajon or djembe sit in a lot. I dont like drum kits but I must say our drummer in that band was great because she had a soft touch and good vocals.

I honestly don't know if I ever posted on this particular thread or not, but here's a shot of me taken some time back at Jesse McReynold's Pick Inn in Gallatin, Tennessee. I have no idea what F-5 that is in the pic. Just one that someone asked me to play and have a look at.

Hey everyone!

Longtime fan of the cafe here, just introducing myself and thought this would be the best way to get started! I'm the guy on the left in the photo, taken when myself and a couple friends were asked to play at a friends wedding. Not sure when this photo was taken during the day, mostly because I really don't know why I'm holding my mando like that... I've also since replaced that Fender with a Loar LM-400 my fiance bought for me (they're both keepers, for sure). Looking forward to joining the conversation!

[journeybear]

Here are a couple of pretty good videos of my band. (People shoot us all the time, but the few that get posted are often poor quality and incomplete.) The first is from just a few weeks ago; the second is from last year. I get to take a couple of decent rides on the first one; in the second I also get to show my skills on the blues harp. The first is pretty much what we sound like; the second was, well, a bit compromised, accommodating the piano player (since departed from the ensemble).

A pic of part of the process of how your soundboards are recovered out of a log.
This is actually my Wife Annette dissecting a sitka round into re-sawable block. The tools are 2 froes, 2 -10" plastic fallers wedges and 1- 8 pound aluminum mallet. The heart block, is what we refer to as bonus block.
The round is "Read" very critically to determine where the splits will be made for Quality, grade and recovery.

[Randi Gormley]

There have certainly been more flattering pictures of me, but this is about as typical as I get when I've rushed to a session, grabbed a seat and someone hands me a copy of the comhaltas magazine before anything gets started. Thought you all might find it as entertaining as I did.

There actually is a story behind this. I've been playing ITM for about 15 years now but that's in addition to my "real" job, which has been in newspapers for the past 40 years. Over the years, the people I work with have occasionally known about my hobby but mostly I'm just some random reporter -- editor, now -- who takes care not to be photographed because it's considered bad form, me working for the paper and all. The group I work for now has five small papers in Connecticut. I know my own crew but the photographers (and certainly the reporters) in the other papers only know me by voice or email. When I showed up at comhaltas on Thursday, I took a seat and settled in and then the branch president announced there was a photographer from the local paper there. It was too late to move to the back row (which I would have if i'd known he was there when I first walked in) so I just pretended I was some random musician. He never came up to ask me for my name, so I figured I'd dodged a bullet.

Friday I'm in the office doing work and I get an email from the photographer asking if this photo was, indeed, me and what name I go by. It seemed the photo editor, who knows me by sight, recognized my profile in another shot and asked him if he had a face-on photo of me so she could double-check and he pulled up this one. She thought it was pretty funny and had him send it. I acknowledged the identification and told him he should have warned me to comb my hair. Anyway, now at least one off-site photographer knows my alter ego!

In action at Rhyl Folk Club Xmas party.

I am playing my Resonator Mandolin, made by Stuart Wailing.

There was an element of fate involved in its acquisition.


I saw it in the gallery on the Stuart Wailing website years ago, and envied it.

It was described as an example of a custom commission for a client. Stuarts custom commissions were way out side my price bracket at the time sadly.

A year or so ago, I started playing in a local Barn Dance band, and it turned out that the band leader was the guy who commissioned it and now wanted to sell it, a price was agreed and it became mine.

I think it safe to say that it is not 'subtle' .... 'tinny and twangy' would be more accurate, but I like it ... it is 100% the wrong instrument to play Bluegrass on. This suits me fine, as what I play could be accurately described as 'not bluegrass' :)

Anyway, now at least one off-site photographer knows my alter ego!

Randi,
I was a photographer for 30 years at my hometown paper and I was lucky that I was on the backside of the camera, as I do not like to have my own photo taken. I am glad that your president announced that a photographer was in the room because some folks get downright nasty to us photogs. I always tried to let folks know I was in the room and if they didn't want to photographed it gave them time to move or tell me not to shoot them. The only people I have ever run into who never objected were politicians.

[Randi Gormley]

George -- that is a scream! our politicians are exactly the same, unless they've been caught doing something they shouldn't, then we have to rely on file photos!

Most people don't realize how tough it is for newspaper photographers to do their work. I admire all they do and am constantly astounded at what a difference there is between a photo taken by even a talented amateur and someone whose job it is to do the impossible on a daily basis.

[Gelsenbury]

I really like this picture. It was taken at a recent charity event organised by our students. The photographer was also a student, and I think her work is of an outstanding quality. My favourite is the shadow of the headstock on my shirt.

If not, I hope you will teach her. Thanks for posting these wonderful family shots.

Thank you. Currently that is not her mandolin though maybe one day it will be. Both those instruments are pre-1898 Orville Gibson made pieces. She's 6 and has just been starting to play ukulele. Once she gets pressing down on strings and frets maybe we will move onto mandolin or guitar. A friend of mine requested a photo of me for his blog so I grabbed what is most precious to me to be in it. His post can be seen here http://harpguitars.net/blog/2018/03/lost-scroll-of-the-ages-addendum/. Artwork behind us is also from her.

Wow! Including a Levin DeLuxe (https://gypsyjazzuk.wordpress.com/django-in-the-usa-canada-1946/django-duke-aquarium-nyc-oct-46/django-and-that-levin-guitar/) guitar. Of course, that was really just for that photo.

Jim:

Levin Deluxe: almost 19 inch lower bout, European spruce, Walnut back & sides... Very stout & responsive arch top guitar. My picking buddy makes it look like an L00. He brought an axe; I brought a hatchet (pretty good one at that).

That guitar is a hoss! Thanks for posting. :)

I didn’t mean that the Levin in your photo was just for posing just that one in Django’s hands. I suppose he did try it but it would be a very different guitar to his Selmer.

Here is one. Not sure if I was confused, concentrating, and just really feeling the break.

Or this courtesy of the web site remove.bg, try it yourself. You can make it look like you're in NYC or the beach, or whatever.

As you can see from the attached proof, the Art Department at the record company isn't the least bit concerned about blocking out the background in my picture - they really want to block out the ugly face in the foreground!
