Brad, it was pretty much a no-name that I bought from The Mandolin Store a few years ago. I don't have it with me now, but it resembled the Intellitouch you have pictured in post #18.

As much as I'm a fan of a Bill Monroe and the style he created, I may be an even bigger fan of Compton's take on Monroe's style.

Jesse, I found it here. No financial interest.

Any rattlesnake that I spot in my yard will quickly become endangered. The rattles in my Martin came from a 6-foot rattler that was FIGHTING another rattlesnake in my friend's yard last summer. I...

It will cut through, but will it bark?

Yes, but MOD can lead to MAS.

I love this. Nk9vhhGyRyo

Ha! My views on this align pretty close with Wilbur's, but the face looks like the Zig-Zag rolling papers guy to me.

Big Indian Blues - Mike Compton & David Long (from "Stomp")
Ghost Driver - Larry Keel & Natural Bridge (Mark Shimick, mandolin) (from "Backwoods")
Dave Peters Trio - "Live At Ovations" (every track...

That photo is ripe for some photoshop action. Smokin' mando solo, way up the neck.

UPDATE: The talented and friendly Herb Trotman, owner of Fretted Instruments in Homewood, Alabama, confirmed that I have nothing to worry about on my Martin. He gave my CW a thorough inspection,...

Thanks for all the info, if it's good enough for Norman, it's good enough for me!

I spoke to my dealer yesterday, and he told me basically the same thing about the slight belly. I will take it...

That's what we like about you, man - the sparkling idealism. But I must refute one minor point - my wife says my daughters are just like me - much to her consternation!

LOL.

My nine-year-old daughter, a big Taylor Swift fan (well, I think she's more of a Carrie Underwood fan now, but she was on a big TS kick a while back), will sometimes get on me and her older...

I see your point, Bill, and I'm sure my idea of a song of praise is highly influenced by my personal beliefs, which is why I'm opting to (mostly) avoid posting in this very interesting thread.

Greg, that sounds like a good hook line for a song, it could be sung to the melody of the Grateful Dead's "Attics Of My Life", or John Hartford's "Gentle On My Mind".

This thread itself has become one of those meandering, formless jam sessions. Every now in then, it threatens to actually resolve back into some resemblance or continuation of the original...

Just a kick to the top, in memory of Andy. There's some good stuff in this thread.

....in case you change your mind:

"That post wasn't really all that helpful, after all!" :))

Same here. I remember making the comment, 'Where's the "Like" button?' on a post a couple of weeks ago. Scott replied that there was a similar option on the board that he would look into, so I guess...
