The mandolin that Cheryl has is one that was made with the oldest wood that I had. It was purchased from Ted Davis’ stash. I now have red spruce that was cut over 100 years ago. It is much older. It...
Nice work Jo! That is beautiful!
Steve, that would make a great poster.
Beautiful work Steve! It’s good to see what you are doing with some incredible quilt! Nice scroll too!
Great sounding mandolin Spencer.

Tony is a fantastic picker and everyone should look up Jerry’s mandolin album on YouTube. Jerry is a great picker.
The Murphy brothers played a lot in NC where I’m from. I love this story.

Sherry, I think the mandolin fits perfectly with most gospel songs. I would ask if you can sit it during the practices and maybe they will see how nicely a mandolin fits in.
Just my 2 cents.
I remember that discussion too. Gus deserves discussing.;)
That is a great album of a fantastic picker. I love his version of Orange Blossom Special.
I can tell you from my experience they can be found. I had an Epiphone in the shop for a fret dress. The owner also brought a “big name brand” mandolin with it. The Epiphone blew it away in every...
Darryl, I don’t see how anyone can be offended in the conversion. Who plays lutes these day anyway? The mandola coversion is perfect.
I agree. That one drink allowed me to just relax and play. It's easier said than done for me.
Years ago when I was in a band that played gigs regularly, we played a gig where I was given a mixed drink at the venue we were playing. I wasn’t driving, didn’t drink, and didn’t want to be rude to...
Jesse, that is perfect! Nice improvisation!
My favorite is carving the tops, back and shaping necks. The least favorite is sanding and finishing.
That's so sad to hear. Harold was a kind soul that loved Bluegrass music. He could "flat out whip a mandolin" as I heard others say. I played in a band with his brother, Tommy. We did a few shows...
I saw Earl the last time he played at Merelefest. We were at a steak house right out side of the campus and Scruggs was there eating. Every few minutes someone would stop to talk to him and I don’t...
Don is a treasure. Thanks for posting.
To me, it looks like a Gibson case with a replacement handle. Just my 2 cents.
It’s not everyday you see a harp at a jam;)
Here’s one within your budget. Charles is a good guy too.

Magnus, Nice work. That is beautiful. It also makes my head swim just thinking about building that!
Dave, it sounds like a new tune to me. I feel like some tunes can be stuff that comes out of our head from listening to music. We hear a lick or a melody that sticks with us and maybe our mind...
Steve, looking at fan frets blows my simple mind. That sunburst is perfect!
