This is MARVELOUS, Trey! Always a joy to hear you and Chris making music. Thanks for sharing it with the world, and with us.

Enjoyable CD.

Mike plays lead on all 16 tracks. As he explains in the liner notes, Norman Blake decided to stick with the accompanist's role.

Also from the liner notes: "Learning to play this...

Everything about this is great but who cares what I think. I will let the video and music do the talking...

Was great to have you in the booth. That White F-5 was a beautiful instrument!

Exactly the one I was going to post! I really love how they shift the mood as the tune progresses.

It’s my old F-2 and a recently acquired 1957 Gibson L-50. I thought their sunbursts looked nice together.

that's Lil Pup! Good eye!

Kate Williams (& Dave Thorpe) both playing beautiful Phil Davidson mandolins that I covet:

That's pretty interesting.
I was half expecting the video to turn out to be a video of Rick Astley singing Never Gonna Give You Up. If we all got Rick Rolled I would have laughed my butt off.

I'm pretty sure Chris Thile and Julian Lage have a solid grasp on music fundamentals and theory ;)

I thought I'd share this here with you as this kind of thing doesn't really happen to us. On Sunday, my son (Tai) got to open for John Reischman and the Jaybirds on Vancouver Island. Before the...

Hi, fellow Pomeroy owner Furb (and other fans). I just gave grateful home to this one, Don's #239, having been hunting an oval hole for a while. My word! I love everything about it, the violin...

That should have you very well covered then. BTW.. I looked and I've had my case since around April or May 2016 so it's been well over a year.

I've had mine for probably close to a year and have taken it everywhere. It's a great case and as mentioned above... the storage is great. I did end up getting a Hoffee for taking to festivals and...

“God it’s so painful when something that is so close, is still so far out of reach.” One of the best lines in rock and roll.

Hey all - nice to know that some folks want to play my tune! Here's my take on it.160169

boy, i'm not tech savvy. it just looks like a black spot on my screen, but i think if you click it you'll...

I became aware of this band when the mandolin player, Luke Fraser, recently decided to relocate to my hometown, Halifax.

I have tried to integrate my last name into my instruments as smoothly as I can. Maybe I should have started doing that back in 2000. I am about to build my 100th mandolin as Kratzer/Bulldog. Many of...

I had the good fortune to play White #6 before it was shipped to Trey. It is a beautiful sounding mandolin and the playability is as good as it gets. I've talked with Tyler at great length about all...

Congrats Trey! You got a good one. Tyler has it going good already with #6. Enjoy and keep posting videos.

He teaches Dry and Dusty also in his (excellent) Peghead Nation lesson series:

I actually have tab & notation from Joe himself (from a workshop). I'll have to figure out how to scan and post it.

The other tune he was referencing is Dry and Dusty, which he also gave us...

Back to take pix of the new Eastman octave. Played it a bit and confirmed I'm pretty enamored with what they've done here.
