Post A Picture Of Yourself

[Doug Edwards]

Taken today, I'm the one with the mandolin.

[musical mama]

Here's one of the two cutest kids in the world. #I may be a little biased.... they call me Mommy! #Mica is 6; Cristian is 9. #Cristian just today has learned the G, C & D chords. #He's practicin' right now...:)

[musical mama]

Somehow the beautiful boys did not come through... trying again....

[Soupy1957]

Would if I could, but all my best efforts have not yet made it happen. Someone tell me the steps to getting a photo in here please?
-Soupy1957
P.S. My photos are on my pc and not on a website, and the one I wanted to post is only 728 kb. I tried "drag and drop" and "copy" and "Cut-n-paste" and "browse" but none of these choices seemed to work?http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif???

[Keith Miller]

Soupy.. add a reply button, not quick reply, then down to bottom of page and find add a file, click browse and find where you have the picture, then just add it...works for me anyway http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[JEStanek]

The maximum image size is 153.6KB. That 700+ one won't make it. You can resize it and post it one it is smaller.

Here are Grandmainger's excellent resizing instructions. (http://www.grandmainger.com/picpost/)

Ok,

I know what you mean Soupy. #It took me a good half hour to figure it out. #Watch out y'all!....

[DryBones]

I upload all my photos that I want to post to Photobucket.com
You can resize your photos there and also generate the URL code to use here for posting an image.

[hendrix2]

I don't have a picture while playing the mandolin, but I have tons of picture of me playing the guitar.
so this is me, rocking in the rehearsel room. (it's a bit ironic, because we play mostly blues music...)

[Dan Cohen]

I guess I don't know how to do this. Does a picture have to be of a certain size, type, etc? I'm attaching from a file on my computer as opposed to web. I tried to follow the directions from the Miscellaneous area.

[Bill Snyder]

If the picture does not meet the size and file type requirements of the Cafe then you get a message when you post advising you of the problem.
You also have to post an image from your computer using the ADD REPLY button and not the Quick Post button.

[bluegrassplayer]

Here is me with my teachers Gibson DMM. The dry/crackled/scared peghead is better-looking than me.

[jim simpson]

Just got a copy of this picture from a friend with whom I played this concert. We were the "Bluegrass Ensemble" at the Settlement Music School's 90th Anniversary Gala Concert. We were the closer of an evening that featured
Classical, Greek, Jazz, & Chinese string music. This was in 1998 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. After the concert we were invited to hang out at a reception that featured a dance band plus refreshments. It was a great gig!

[mandopete]

I just returned from a week-long camping trip at Kalaloch beach on the Olympic Peninsula. #Usually I don't bring a mandolin along as I never seem to have any time to play it.

This time I found a nice little bluff that overlooks the Pacific ocean and set down to pick for awhile. #I figure if you have to practice, you may as well have something nice to look at.

BTW - I will be entering the "whitest" legs contest!

[JEStanek]

LOL

Sure, laugh at the old guy.

[fishdawg40]

Diego, is the bald guy playing a mandolin too or is that Jesse Ventura?!!!

I told him what you said, he wants to know where you live....

Our bass player was raised on Budweiser.

[musical mama]

Diego, it's kinda nice seeing what you look like; some of the comments you make and threads you start crack me up!!! Now when that happens I have a better idea of who's doing it!

I knew this was a mistake http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[DryBones]

I got a new hat. What do you think of it?

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a182/JBWicklund/leftybillmonroeLarge.jpg

[AW Meyer]

Love the hat, Lefty. Mandopete -- Molson's is for pikers. We Left Coast guys go for the designer beers like Okanagan Spring Pale Ale -- still not available in Toronto.

[Lowell Levinger]

Me and my pal Nelson playing a couple of unsung heroes.
Albert Shutt made these (well, the one on the left for sure) in Topeka Kansas at the start of the 20th century (1910 - 1915 or so). He was also a band leader, composer, arranger and teacher.
The neck joins the body at the 12th fret.
It has a carved top and back with f-holes.
It has an elevated fingerboard and elevated pickguard and adjustable (for intonation) bridge.
These features were introduced again on another model of mandolin in 1922 that left a far greater impact on musical history.

If you look closely, you can spot pictures of me playing mandolin and flute, a Cafe sticker, a picture of my younger daughter and a poster for the Boxwood flute festival.

Here's me with my Darren Craig mandola.

Ksig,
# i like your choice in t-shirts. #Alaskan Brewing is one the finest! #

cheers

[WireBoy]

oh... and the mandola looks excellent too! #how about a close up of the interesting headstock inlay?

[Phil Jolly]

Thanks Eric,

I don't have a picture of the headstock myself, but there is a little better picture on Darren's website. Headstock inlay (http://www.craigmandos.com/Inlay.htm) Just scroll to the bottom, he called it Isla Paradisio.

Who's that in the picture? I thought I was the only mando-sucker here who get's roped into football. I volunteer with our junior football program here in Monroe, WA. We had gear hand out for 150 kids on Saturday, what a nightmare!

[cooper4205]

that was at Tennessee's media day saturday, thats Erick Ainge i'm interviewing.

i bet that was a nightmare, trying to get everything matched up and kids fitted. tryng to find all the knee and butt-pads is the worst part http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

mandopete, you're not the only one. I got roped into coaching my son's 9-10 year old team.

[Joe F]

Here I am at a small old-time jam at a friend's back yard. I'm playing my Japanese Kentucky KM-200S that I bought new in 1982.

[Tim333]

I hope Ainge is improved and Fulmer stops the revolving door with the QB's this season. I don't know if I can take another 5-6 season....

Like Moose said "Go Vols!"

I wonder is Ainge plays the Mando in his spare time???

[cooper4205]

Ainge is the starter right now, so no two-QB system(i hope).i think you'd find Crompton playing one before Ainge. from talking with players and coaches, the guys seem to have their heads on straight. only time will tell i guess, but i cuoldn't take another losing seaon either!

[jim simpson]

I like this thread, I hope I'm not too much of an abuser!
This photo is a backstage shot on a July 4th contest many years ago with a group called Haywire. We won! Maybe it was the hats.

Joe F., is that guitar player to your right Bill Kegley (I think that's his spelling?)?

I guess he's from Iowa City and has picked around there a good bit. I've met him through some jams there, but it's been a while. He usually comes down for the Fiddlers Picnic in Iowa City.

See you,

[Fred Keller]

Bill Cagley is the fellow's name. Hell of a picker, nice guy and has done a couple three great albums with Tom Schaeffer, Sandy Njoes, and former Bluegrass Boy Bob Black:

That is indeed Bill Cagley. #He's an amazing musician and as down to earth as anyone I've ever met. #I credit (blame?) him for inspiring me to learn "Soapsuds Over the Fence," a very crooked old-timey tune.

A tune he likely learned from Iowa City's Al Murphy. I think maybe Al got it from James Bryan, but not sure.

Here's a pic from Winfield earlier this month. #These guys were camped nearby and were belting out some great tunes. Friday nite I intruded and asked if I could pick with them. Several tunes later and after the whiskey bottle made it around a few times they graciously invited me to join them for their 8:30 show on Stage 5. Fueled by liquor and camaraderie, I marched with them through the dark campground to Stage 5 where we did a 30 minute set!

That's me on mando and the other fellas are a band from Wichita called Fistful of Nickels. #Dig the melodica... #Good fun!

[ronlane3]

It's been a while, so here's one of me warming up before a festival show a couple of weeks ago. I am playing my F-9.

[Jack Roberts]

Here's our band, just before our last gig at the Rescue Mission.

The guitarist in the middle is also our only tenor voice, and he is leaving to serve Uncle Sam for two years. We will be low and lonesome without him!

[Cetecea]

I've played some dumps in my time, but this takes the cake!

[Bobbie Dier]

You guys look cool. When you said you were playing at the dump you really meant it. I thought it was the name of a night club or something. Is there an audience?

[Cetecea]

It's an annual event. Small New England town kind of thing. The dumps (transfer stations) are somewhat of social center. They have free food and usually some kids selling candy for sports teams, politicians, etc. People come in and out to drop off trash and recycle (mandatory) and hang out for a bit. We do it as sort of a lark....

But I got to try my K&K for the first time on my 804.

Our set list:
Brown Eyed Girl G
The Shape I'm In G
Ain't Misbehavin' F
Margaritaville D
Tequila Sunrise G
Independence Day E
I Shall Be Released G
Against the Wind G
Crazy G
Hotel California Em


Long Black Veil G
I Fall to Pieces A
Peaceful Easy Feeling D
Good Lovin' C
TheNightTheyDroveOldDixieDown C
Friend of the Devil G
Lyin' Eyes G
When I'm Sixty Four C
I'll Be Your Baby Tonight D
The Weight G

[mandopete]

Yeah, that one should definately go on the "unusual gigs" list!

[AlanN]

If the audience doen't like you guys, they'll just hook up that front end loader and scoop you away!

What is it with bluegrass people and cowboy shirts. (or bowling shirts)

[Bobbie Dier]

What a cute dawgy!!

[rhetoric]

OK, here's me w/ my beach mandolin (my only mandolin). Can you guess my location the way everyone guessed the Lake Michigan girl in the "women and mando" thread? Hint: It ain't Lake Michigan. Not even close. Another: Ernest Hemmingway used to deep sea fish here. One more: One of the top five beaches on the planet. OK, answer: Melindi (Watamu) Kenya. That's the Indian Ocean for those of you geographically challenged. I wondered if an fhole mandolin had ever been played there before.

[mandopete]

Surf's up!

[fredfrank]

You can almost see the mandolin in my hands. Just look at what I have to work with. Tough gig, but somebody's got to do it.

Hi Chris, Good to from you. Kaufman Kamp was great as always and can't wait till next year. I just went to the Bill Monroe style camp in Owensboro KY. That also was a good camp because thats the style of play I like to do most. Remenber if you get to Orlando call me there are some good bluegrass jams on every Friday night and on the 2nd & 4th saturdays of the month. I thought I had a picture of you jaming with Tony,Marshall(the tall guy 7')and myself by the cafeteria.

So here's a picture of me and 3 other people in my band here at college. It was taken for posters around campus, and the other band members were in other shots. We're actually split into two bands this year because of all the people that wanted to join. In this shot, I am on the left with my big cheesy grin. My "friend" over there (on that other instrument we don't mention) and I are in one band, and the fiddle player and the seated mandolinist are in another band.

Nice barefoot banjo player! Funny photo.

Reminds me very much of a famous painting of Grant Wood's - you should have posed in front of a barn with the fiddler holding a fork... http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[2pointfreak]

Hey! I'm Tony and this is my New Randy Wood 2 point!

[fishdawg40]

Hey Tony you seem real proud of that mandolin, and rightfully so. It's very nice. I see you live in Central Florida. Same here, I'm over in Winter Springs. Do you go to the jams around town? I don't. Did you here about the Mike Compton workshop just north of us in Waldo on Saturday? Here's the thread relating to that. Compton worshop thread (http://www.mandolincafe.net/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=12;t=38768)

Take care and welcome to the cafe!

[2pointfreak]

Hey!

Yep! I heard about the Waldo clinic and I'm going!

As far as local jams, I try to go to the Ocoee jam when I can. A great group of people. Once in a while I get up to Cassia. Also big fun. Tony

[fishdawg40]

Excellent! I guess I'll meet you there. I'm Joe, by the way. I have to try to get out to the jams. I got together with fellow cafe member Jaco (Mike) a few times. Looks like the two of you have some common ground in fly fishing.

Look for this mug in Waldo (I'm the little one , http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif )

Your wife is not alone! Here's one my wife took in Oct. at the Harwinton Fair in Harwinton Ct. The blur is where she had previously laid her greasy fair-food covered finger on the lens. Such is life!

[mandoryan]

Hey swiba,

[mandolooter]

[mandolooter]

[swiba]

Mandoryan,
No its not but his name is Don, He is Don Phelps from Newburgh,Indiana he goes by nickname fo Digger.

[barry]

This thread is going into it's fourth year and I have yet to post. #I noticed my picture was on the wall in the "New Millennium" thread so I'll go ahead and paste it here. #That's me with my (then 3 year old) daughter at a Kimble pickin' party.

[mandopete]

He is Don Phelps from Newburgh,Indiana he goes by nickname fo Digger.
Digger Phelps, as in Notre Dame Coach Digger Phelps?

[ricardo]

"Digger Odell"!?? ... http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

[MML]

I know that name Digger O'Dell http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[swiba]

Now let's not get talking to much about him it'll give him a big head thinking his name is up in lights or something. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[mandoryan]

I used to play in a band with a Don Allen and the profile looks just like him. He mostly plays stand up bass though. I figured in Indiana, there's a chance it was the same guy.

[Jean-Pierre WOOS]

Hum ! Where am I ?
Ah yes... here, with a little guitar... http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[ira]

is that a mandobass back there?

[Jean-Pierre WOOS]

No. It's, simply, a gypsy guitar... http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

My first gut reaction after seeing the first photo, and maybe it's just because I watched Charlie Brown Christmas with my kids last night, was to yell...

blockhead!

Funny fotoshop!

[AlanN]

Pete,

I always found your playing a bit transparent http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[Uncle Choppy]

Too late...

MANDOLIN FIGHT!

[danb]

I'm the salad-averse one on the left. Friends Bob & Phil to the right.

[Bobbie Dier]

I hope no mandolins were harmed in the making of the film.

[fredfrank]

Dan should have come out on top . . . he has more points than the other guys!
http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[danb]

But bob has a mandola http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[fredfrank]

Oh, yeah. For a moment there I thought you could actually inflict more damage with a three point. But a mandola . . . well!

[JEStanek]

My money is on Dan's roommate with the CF cello. CF and an end pin... 3 mandolinists enter one cellists leaves... with instrument intact!

don't drink and pick. and certainly don't do both with a camera around!

http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[Yellowmandolin]

Pete: #Yeah, in the first pic, he and I are going after it together. #He is probably most known for his fiddle playing (he was the state champ of Georgia and Ohio some time back) but is certainly no slouch on the mando. In the first pic, he is on the left playing his black topped Flatiron A.

[levin4now]

I like your jackets you're all wearing - cool.

[cooper4205]

finally made the big time, playing at the famous Down Home http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif ! well not exactly, it was our end of the semester concert at ETSU; it counted as my final test (i got a better photographer,too!)

Finally have a decent pic, here's my son and I playing the Christmas song fest at church. #He sang and played "New Star Shining", I tried to keep up.

Me with my old mando before I got my new Eastman 514

I hadn't done this yet, but.......well, the timing seemed right.
Do you think the beard affects the tone? Sounds really...old.

W Willis

[mandopete]

Now I realize this isn't mandolin-related, but give me a little rhythm here - gosh darn it, it's Christmas! #I found myself laughing out loud at the pictures I found #here. (http://erroraccessdenied.com/funnyanimals?page=1)

[K3NTUCKI8oy]

Me with my old mando before I got my new Eastman 514
IT'S HANK JR!!!!

[Tracy Ballinger]

Since this thread has been going on so long, I'll join in. #I'm relatively new to the mandolin; picked it up at the beginning of July. #(Not making progress as fast as I would like, but some progress is better than none!) #So here's me and my Kentucky 620S (or part of it, anyway... my 11 y.o. son took the picture!)

HAPPY NEW YEAR, everyone! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

[Ken Berner]

Hey Luv2, Happy New Year 2 you and yours. Most of us would like to advance more rapidly; take your time and enjoy the trip. Great picture, by the way!

[Tracy Ballinger]

Thanks Ken! I mean, I've been playing a full 6 months now... I just can't understand why I can't make smoke come off my fretboard like Sam Bush does! Ya know?! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mandosmiley.gif I keep reminding myself that it's not the easiest thing in the world to do; I work on chords for a while, then I switch to picking melodies, then back to chords. I don't get too bored or too frustrated that way.
