hehe...I have a "kitty picker" at my house too.

I always enjoy reading threads on picks. I've been picking the mandolin for almost 20 months and being retired gives me the chance to pick daily. Like the OP I played 50's and 60's rock guitar and...

I been pickin the mandolin a little over a year and a half. Never had one in my hand before that but I did pick some guitar and banjo. Lost interest in those mainly because of my shoulder pain...

thanks Allen..the "clown shoe" case caught my eye. i don't remember seeing one before. The 'ol bowl back mandolin looks pretty cool too.

Saw this old Sears mandolin with a cool looking case on the goodwill auction site. Thought some café members might enjoy the pics. It's at the Nashville store and bet theres probably some Nashville...

My family and I are keeping you and yours in our thoughts and prayers as well as all the firefighters, ems, law enforcement officers and the many volunteers that are involved in this. It is hard to...

Happy birthday Big Joe..always enjoy reading your posts.

ouch!..hope you have a speedy recovery Darren.

Haven't heard that tune before...watched the video earlier and the tune got "stuck" in my head. I had to watch it again. Great job!

B.K...that was some mighty fine picking and singing. Fine sounding mandolin you have there. Thnx for posting.

hey..at a buck a piece, I ordered a sample pack for me and one for a picking buddy of mine. I've always said half the fun playing the mandolin is trying out new picks. :mandosmiley:

I read somewhere to listen to a tune "22" times back to back....then it will be in your head and you can play it on the mandolin. I tried that a couple times but I always fell asleep around #9. :)

Reach around and pat yourself on the back Joey...Good job.

Quitting mandolin? Really? What will "The Brat" do? A good chiropractor can heal all you ailments. Maybe a chiropractor that plays mandolin. Or maybe you could use a couple stiff drinks.

That's some mighty fine picking and singing.

I feel your pain Joey. My Eastman has a varnish finish. At first I tried to be especially protective of it even to the point of not pickin it regularly. Finger nail and pick marks seemed to pop up...

check out the V-Pick website. they have a huge selection of picks.

Homer, I am about a year and a half into playing mandolin also. I gotta tell you I am damn good at it too. hehe..that is as long as I am sitting in my living room "alone". I am having fun tho...i...
