Was flying today and had one of my mandos with me, an f-style, in a soft case.

After it went through the X-ray machine, the TSA agent operating the X-ray said "Sir, what kind of guitar is this?"

A friend recently requested this tune so I thought I'd take a swing at it with my Weber octave mandolin. My version is loosely based on a solo performance by Frankie Gavin (though he plays it a...

The old reliable standard for instrument mic'ing on stage is the Sure SM57. Just about every sound tech has a few of them, and if you don't have one it's a good mic to have in your kit, along with a...

It's gone.

It may have been trusty, but it wasn't being used. Resources that don't get used are best mothballed or deleted and that's its fate--or rather the links to it were removed which...

I would have picked "Dawg 90" over Dawgnova - Dawg 90 was such a strong album and introduced the whole Matt Eckel thing ( recorded with Crusher), and would have included Mondo Mando ( for Cedar Hill...

Thanks for contributing to this newbie's musical education while I did my morning work today. Good writing and good music :)

Nicely done!

I too, loved Songs of Our Father's. But it's hard to find something to swap it with.

Here's my top 10 (in no special order)

Dawg Grass/Dawg Jazz
Don Stover - Things In Life (Dawg plays on every cut)
Early Dawg
The David Grisman Quintet
Old & In The Way
Hot Dawg
Tone Poets...

I like how you got it down to a dozen, but managed to include plenty more as BTW’s. :)

The album with Tommy Emmanuel didn’t do much for me, so I would have swapped it for Songs of Our Fathers. I...

Thanks for this Paul, well done.

Well done, Paul.

1) Turn it down.
2) A more directional mic.
3) Position of the mic. in relation to the instrument.
4) Play (further) behind the speakers.
5) Parametric (or other) EQ.
6) Some sort of feedback...

Well, that Kenny ... he IS fabulous AND superlative. ;) I've been a fan for a long time, coming up to 25 years. I first saw him backing up Kim Richey. I made a note of his name. The next year he was...

Hi Everyone,

I recently ordered two sets of Curt Mangan mandolin strings and, for now anyway, have found my new favorite strings.

They are the 11.5 - 41 guage, so virtually identical to the...

David has been battling with cancer for quite a few years and decided to go public with it in a recent note to his mailing list. I was unaware of any of this and so asked for his and Susie's...

I always wear a strap, even when playing seated, mostly to support and position the neck where I need it. I highly recommend it as it made many of my wrist issues disappear.

I find visiting my [in...
