Dangit, it snuck up on me again this year. Ah for the sound of the blazing 14.4K modem and the computer that might have had 32 MB of RAM, though I doubt it did.

I'm pretty much in the same boat as Pops. 10-14-24- I might go as heavy as a 38 for the 4th string, but that would be the absolute maximum.

I have a Martin and while it is the bent top I use 10-36, which is the heaviest I would consider using. The 2-15 I would still not use heavier strings on. Others will know more about that I am sure.

I was reading this article on David Rawlings' D'Angelico guitar that was originally owned by Homer Haynes, and he says "I think John D’Angelico had just made a mandolin for Jethro Burns."

First off I would like to think Darryl for taking time to do me a favor. I know he is in the middle of moving and has just been through the aftermath of a tropical storm. Thank you also to Scott ...
