    Re: Ry Cooder isolated mandolin Love in Vain

    "Fat Man" by Jethro Tull, not "Fat Man In The Bathtub." Little Feat is one of my favorite bands, but their mandolin content is low. And later. ;)

    Re: Need Help with String Choice for Sweaty Hands

    Any coated string should work fine, provided that you regularly clean them. Even the D'Addario phosphor bonze ones -- getting the coated versions, that is (EXP, XS, or XT). Or Monel, if you like the...

    Same as above. It really depends on the finish of the instrument. I'm typically one for silver, but for a lovely mando with rich brown and orange/yellow tones, I prefer gold.
