    I remember being knocked out by her "subway version" of St. Anne's Reel on YT a couple of years ago. How great to hear what you're up to now, Olga, thanks!

    Well done, Lately I've talked with CJ a bit about F-7's as ha has/had a few nice ones and honestly didn't know or never hear him play or his band and I must say I like it! I'm not a huge fan of newer bluegrass "mainly because too much out there with no time to listen!" but these guys get it done, they all have style and can play! Well done and that F-5 sounds pretty good to me!

    Mighty fine. Turn & ReTurn samples sound great as well! Gotta love a band with mandolin and horns. My copy is on the way.

    Roland, I've always enjoyed listening to the way you play Soldier's Joy. Also, it's been really great to see the Roland White Band performances at the Frankfort IL Bluegrass Festival!

    Hey Roland, I was so glad to be able to have another brief encounter with you this past summer at The Station Inn. They've been few and far between but always memorable.

    Love from Canada,

    A legend is in the house! Welcome, Roland White. Wow, from the Kentucky Colonels to Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys to today's Roland White Band, one of our favorites.

    Still one of the top interviews ever on the Cafe I think. Amazing content:

    Welcome, Andrew. Love your playing and especially love the new mandolin album. Looking forward to the new Mandolin Orange release in early 2019.

    For those of you that may have missed the feature interview with Andrew last month put together for us by Michael Eck, here it is:

    Very nice! I've enjoyed some of your stuff with the Jaywalkers as well, particularly the video of Big Sciota.

    Wow, Mike, that's beautiful. This is the style of music on mandolin that I love to hear and learn. As I listened I thought, wow, I will watch this video and learn this, then when it finished I noticed the free tabs!
    thank you so much.
    going to check out your other offerings as well, thanks so much for sharing all this with us.
