She was a true pioneer and down-to-earth. RIP.

I heard Loretta perform at the Ryman many years ago. I am thankful for the authentic music she shared and that she lived a very long life. She was the real deal, that sweet and talented woman. May...

I think Hans could make a wonderful sounding mandolin out of any stable wood. He sure made great ones. Enjoy it!

This was a completely unplanned NMD. Had Friday off work and decided to stop by the Homestead Pickin' Parlor in Richfield, MN. Was going to maybe get some strings and check out the picks. Wandered...

As of this moment 14 out of 18 postings in the mandolin classifieds are dealers selling their wares.

I'd like to see them separated--dealers in one place and private sellers in another.

I just acquired the above mentioned mandolin, and it's an outstanding instrument, punching FAR above it's weight in tone, volume and overall fit and finish. I'll try to post some pictures and video...

HA! Now that was funny…

I also subscribed to Sirius for Bluegrass Junction, but I listen to it a lot less than I used to.

I think Mr. Christianson does make some valid points:

I'm not responding to this particular posting but to the positive remarks about Bluegrass Junction beamed to us earthlings from cyber0uterspace or wherever. The positive responses support my...

An opinion from one of my friends: "They're embarrassed to publish their price because it's too high."
My take on it: If you don't publish a price, I'm not interested, and you've lost a potential...

Some folks are just not very good at writing ads, or they lack experience, and simply forget to include the price. In some other cases, the price isn't found in the body of the ad, but it can be...

Same here, how do I know if I am interested if I don't know the price.

No... you are not alone in this. I never, ever respond to an ad with no price listed. No price... No Dice.

I often notice ads in the classified section that do not list a price.
Is this through forgetfulness when placing the ad or is it some selling ploy to get you interested?
Personally, I find it very...

This morning while looking for something else I bumped into these pictures taken by Richard Johnston in a visit to Gibson's Opry Mills facility back in 2000. It's no longer there but it was a fun...

Just wanted to share this project I was fortunate to be a part of. My best buddy, Brian 'Willie' Williams figured the three mandolin parts to Ricochet, one of the tunes I've dreamed of playing since...

The only instrument that will kill a banjo or a fiddle (possibly both at the same time) is a set of bagpipes.

Borrowing a quote from an old co-worker “Alls I know is” I’m going to keep “playing” with my new fidget spinner and not have to worry about fidgeting with a pick anymore.

Coall Instruments built their first mandola. So I tried it.

I've had the mandolin a few more days and I'm liking better every day. I made a few sound clips that gives a better representation of the tone than the video. Here's the link to the clips. I hope it...
