Before everything gets manic may I take this opportunity to wish all fellow newbies the best of the season. However you celebrate whatever you celebrate and wherever you celebrate it, may it be happy and peaceful for you all. No matter what nationality, colour, sex or creed, we are all one - we play the mandolin.
Eloquently put....Same to you and yours !!
. . . and, may the spirit of this beautiful season be with you, all year long.
To all us newbies wherever we may be - happiest of holidays. Thanks for posting, @OldManIn.
Merry, happy picking days Merry, happy practice days Merry happy days of rest and days of fest to all
* From yesterday's Luann by Greg Evans comic strip God rest ye merry, gentlefolks!
Here's to the return of the light, however you envision that. For anyone in the southern hemisphere, same sentiment but you'll have to find your own metaphor.
