    Re: Gibson "F-3"

    I never bought a mandolin from Jon Lundberg but I did buy my first good banjo from him just before I headed home from being in the service. It was an interesting little shop.

    Re: Crossrock Mandolin Cases

    I have a TKL case that was real tight at first. But the mandolin now is snug as a bug in a rug. I could even put a tonegard on it and close it.

    Re: Oval vs F holes

    Ted nailed it. That's why I own both. Like why so many guitarists have different guitars as well as banjo players and fiddlers and dobro, well wait, perhaps not dobros.

    Re: Is anyone else scared of Bill Monroe?

    Bill Monroe was what I call a 19th century man. He had no time for the modern for modern's sake and he was no nonsense in his ways. I knew lots of farmers and older men like that when I was coming...
  12. Re: Nice solo arrangement Sunny Side of the Street

    This is fine. I love the solo jam aspect of it. Did you know, that according to an interview in a mid 60' Downbeat magazine, this song was Howlin' Wolf Chester Burnett's favorite song?

    Music can be it's own meditation. It is often for me. Transcend the moment while living entirely in the moment. Manual labor like hoeing a garden and weeding are also transcendent times.
  18. Re: Stringjoy Foxwood mandolin strings first impressions.

    I have had that issue with them as well with their naturals. Don't have a full set yet, filled in on the treble side with some GHS singles I had on hand. They sound good so far but aren't bowling...
