I'm wrong.:)

If the Cafe actually was that bad, I wouldn't be posting at all.

Fortunately, as you point out, there is enough mandolin material for all of us.

However - my impression of the posts,...

Teak, yes I play bluegrass but having the 4finger chord in your tool box is not a bluegrass thing although it is used more in bluegrass. My question is how would being able to use a 4note or four...

I have a son who is a professional jazz bassist and conservatory student, and this was very much his first teacher’s philosophy. For six years, the primary question was always “What do you hear...

I've noted (e.g., in YouTube videos) that beginners are much too anxious to play the right notes over each single chord so that they all but lose direction and flow and rhythmic interest. I believe...

I just have to give some props to Micah Bruce of Bruce and Sons Stringed Instruments. I was badly in need of a setup and was hoping to get some other work done and a local shop (where I bought my...

Okay, I think I gave Chris Thile's radio show a fair chance. I liked him as a musician and technician, and had been a long time fan of PHC, so I hung in there. I tried to like the show; I really...

I worked out a ragtime version of Leaning on the Everlasting Arms if you're interested.

If you want to clear a room, I'm your man.

Just yesterday an article appeared in the Star Tribune about Quinn's, a newer guitar retailer. Also check out Twin Town Guitars.

Thanks Teak. The Note Gallery Open Jam is now pinned to the map in Old Time Open Jams face book group. Do you have the details for the Whitney Music jam as well?

Jim Garber, just post the info for a jam on the Old Time Open Jams feed and either me, or the other two admins will pin it to the map with location, date, time and contact info. Or you can just tell...

Can't pass up this riff which I'm sure Parker used: The Lick, as seen on TV (YouTube, that is).

I've been happy with D'Add. Nickel-Bronze 11-40 recently on my Heiden. Sound good to me and seem to last better than J74s for me.
Currently trying the Monels, but I suspect that I'll return to N-B...

He told a story about that at the show. He said he played it with Stephane Grappelli in Dm, sort of accidentally, the first time he met him. And played it AABA, instead of Grappelli's original ABAB,...

I was out on The Trail of the Coeur D'Alene's bike trail in North Idaho today for a 60 mile bike ride and brought my new Ranger Travel Mandolin made by Bruce and Mary Weber of Montana Lutherie.

I was in a "band" once that agreed to play a free show at a cafe that was hoping to get into being more of a music venue.

When we got there, there was no where for us to play. The manager said he...

I played a fair one time where a garbage can was placed next to the stage . . . so naturally, half-way through my set, a garbage truck pulls up, parks directly in front of the stage, and starts...

Played a Wino Festival on Saturday. As I was backing my truck up to unload ,out of the corner of my eye, caught large mahogany sphere with a thin blue strip of material in the center of it. Took...

I've tried a whole lot of others including some of the high end picks, and still like this the best.The grip is...

So cool! I love it when forms and cultures get mixed and "creole-ized".

Interesting band from Buenos Aires using bluegrass instruments to play Latin music.

I don't know them but like this video and heard from a Baltimore old time and bluegrass email I subscribe to.
