I don't think shipping by bus is an option this time. :whistling:



I've never had a problem with the closet option - indeed, they've offered a couple-few times. The last time I flew, a...

... or lack thereof. :whistling:

My top-of-my-head glib-ish answer is to reiterate what Zal Yanovsky said in the liner notes on The Lovin' Spoonful's first album: He became a convert to Reddy Kilowatt because it's loud, people dance...

You're welcome, any thime. The chord names are the same, and that's most of what matters. There will be bass note indications, which usually can be made to work as a sort of walk-down - which is...

UG is my go-to, although all too often it's a source of much UGH. It has an enormous number of charts, often multiple versions, but they are all too often inaccurate. Some of those multiple versions...

Well, I hope some of y'all tuned in. Turned out Wyatt Ellis is a 12-year-old mandolin prodigy. He and Sierra did a fine duet, with him holding his own, even though Sierra shone like a mandolin sun...

Welcome to the Café! :mandosmiley: Home of all things mandolin and a great many very nice folks affected - er, afflicted - er, affectionate about mandolins. ;)

Here's the link to Rob Meldrum's DIY...

Yes. They mention that in the first video, about 1:50 in.

I just happened across this brief youtube video thanks to their autosuggestion function. It's only a couple of years old and includes some interesting information. For one thing, it mentions plans by...

Might work as an electric. Might. Wood's way too thick for any decent acoustic music production. And there's still the intonation. :whistling: Fashion a whammy bar out of a keg pull and off you go!...

Oh, I dunno. It doesn't sound that bad to me, though I'm fine with olives, no wish to change. I also like an olive or two in a Bloody Mary, along with lots of other stuff. ;) But I'm not much for...

Roni Stoneman, born Veronica Loretta Stoneman, often called the "First Lady of the Banjo," passed away February 22nd in Nashville TN. She was probably best known as the distaff half of the feudin'...

Um, yeah, you tuned your what which way? :confused:

It is indeed a very good thing to learn how to play in all keys, not just the ones you like, not only because it's good to know how to play your instrument as fully as possible, but also because you...

Ha! I was searching for something special with MC that had occurred this day. All I have on a personal basis vere two things: I wrote a song one year, and the other I can't mention here. It's very...

Yes, agreed. Some of my happy songs are rather silly. Which is not to say that humor can't infuse serious or cynical or satirical songs - it can, indeed, and quite effectively - but being silly may...

Fixed it. It was in Chrome settings all along. I found a button that said "dismiss warning" - dismissed. Done and dusted. Whew!

I'll wager that is the case for the vast majority of people, SO's in particular. And lord knows I've ventured into this area myself, several times over the years, with decidedly mixed results in...

I'm that cool. :cool:

I'm thinking - Forget the notation, play it by ear. He's playing a 4/4 rhythm with his left hand, and the triplet figure is set against that, producing a natural syncopation. He does it three times,...

I'm all for progress, yet I value tradition. I thought something valuable was lost when, in the wake of the popularity of "The Preppy Handbook" in the early 80s, the Yale Co-Op began selling baseball...

Please, buddy - search the list before adding. Why people don't do this, I don't know. I will grant that it hasn't been updated in a long while, but it is searchable, as is every thread here. The...

“Johnny’s guitar set up was pretty standard, although he did start tuning down a full step while I was still working with him,” Jon Paris pointed out. “Around that time, he started playing Lazer...

“I met Johnny in the summer of ’78 at a club called Pop’s in New York’s East Village,” Paris recollected. “We were both there to catch Louisiana Red [AKA Iverson Minter – the Alabama-born...
