Both of these are helpful.
I want a barn. And a Martin over a Taylor.

Agreed. Unlike other things in life, a high quality instrument is worth the interest.

That is a day to treasure. And your souvenir of it is enviable itself.

Thank you for these. Cheered me up!

This is wonderful, Scott. Thanks. I'd love to see those cases as well!

I am glad you've found comfort in faith. This is supposed to be a space for mandolinists though, and proselytizing here rather than contributing in the spirit of the forum seems a little...

I also got a subscription to the FJ, and the Oxford American KY music issue.

Mostly I got a new prosthetic ACL for my tripod dog’s one back leg. The other snapped last month and emptied out the...

Thanks to Drew. I lack this musical vocabulary.

Having said that, I’m confused as to why people think this is far out. It’s not I-Iv-V, but it’s not hard to follow. As a listener.

No offense, but I would forget all of these names the minute my eye left the poster.

I don’t think the name has to be genre-descriptive.

I actually did study Bluegrass at Yale. I did it through the anthro department though, under John Szwed, who was primarily a Jazz guy. The only other mando players I knew there were Klezmer...
