Ahem....(bump).
How about luthierie for non-luthiers. If I was going to ask a luthier to build a mandolin I'm not sure how to describe what I wanted other than perhaps simple things like style and color. There are...
Here's my list for 2013....
Pete Goodall
Bluegrass Ramble
Junior Sisk & Ramblers Choice – The Story Of The Day That I Died (Rebel)
The Bluegrass Regulators – One Step Closer (independent)...
This may be germane (or not).....
With all of the fuss recently over the anniversary of The Beatles appearance on the Ed Sullivan show I've had cause to go back an visit what is my all time...
Wow, thanks for this posting!
First off it just reinforces my notion of how well the mandolin and guitar suit each other in a duet setting. These two have that relaxed style of playing that suit...

Just curious to why folks aren't posting the IBMA and bluegrass related threads in the bluegrass section of the cafe.
Playing mandolin lead to my interest in drinking single-malt scotch.
Great cover and the PB nailed it.....but, I think I like this one even better:

Things you practice away from your mandolin?
Restraint.
The best mando "myth" I know of is that with the popularity of this little instrument and players like Chris Thile - everyone now knows what it is. Just last week at a corporate gig I had a lady...
This is the main reason I recommend this collection to people who are new to Bill Monroe.
