Well I don't mean to hijack this thread (and I should search the archives and then possibly create a new thread), but I'll ask here for some help from anyone with the knowledge or access to Spann's...

Paul, I, too, like your article. I'd like to ask you, and the group, about the practice of embedding Youtube videos of Dawg's music that, from what I could tell, were not from his official channel,...

I'm thinking that's still copyrighted material.

Hi William, Good to connect here (and thanks for the cloud tailpiece for my Jr. a while back!).

The '38 sounded solid, to my ears. (I'm always hesitant to describe sound, as it's so subjective,...

Well, I'm obliged to leave a grateful note and notice to all in the neighborhood to go by and check out Retrofret, as they proved to be most gracious hosts to me as a drop-in visitor today. Their...

Well, I'm grateful for this thread, not only for exposing me to Pete as a mandolin player, but for identifying this tune which, for all these years, I'd only known as "instrumental" on one of my...

Ah, it appears I missed that attribution when I clicked through. Good on 'ya, Jim, for making the effort. I'll wait for Scott to hear back from Andrew, but I'd be very surprised if this were a...

Um, Friends, and original poster Jim1954 in particular, have you considered that you're posting a link to this full album from a source which appears to me to not be affiliated with the artist? If...

Stan took pity on me one slow day in the store: "Hey, kid, wanna see somethin'?" He pulled out of the closet in the "expensive" room one of Wes Montgomery's 2 main L-5s. Didn't let me touch it,...

Haha, thank you, Henry! Backwards might explain the awful sounds coming out of such a beautiful instrument, but I have a feeling it's my playing... But seriously, thanks, and I'll switch it around...

Two questions for the cognoscenti:

1.) Anybody with a copy of Spann's can verify me the birthdate of my '27 A-jr?: SN#82726 FON# 8833

2.) I'm trying to verify that this bridge is non-original....

Ah, Ron, just doing some research and ran across this old thread- I recently acquired a snakehead '27 junior, the year my late Dad was born! It's in wonderful original shape, sounds excellent, and...

I don't know why that always gets me- $150,000 (+$65 shipping...) :redface:

Apologies for a rant here, but as someone who "comes from" both Southern California and Appalachia, I can say- What a thoroughly tiresome affect. And I feel even less informed than when I began.

Ah, didn't know Pat. This must be him playing with Auerbach- I was wondering...

that's Lil Pup! Good eye!

Well, Zach, if it's not still around then, let me know, as I've got a '27 A-jr. and Girouard Garcia you're welcome to sample- (and the Garcia's even for sale...)

Apologies, All, if posting this is not in the spirit of this thread- I tip my hat to those who post their playing, and I would if I could!

Posted this in the Paul Glasse thread- it's my favorite!...

Hear, Hear!

Son!

...Literally.

This is a cool video anyway, but thought it was worth sharing as it's shot from a rare angle of below, out front, peghead-side. I learned a bit from watching The Man from this...

Just a quick note that I stopped in, from way out of town, this last Thursday, and played every mando (that was out front) in the shop. The number is few of places anymore where one can play this...

I can't recall- isn't it true that this was only originally on F-4's? Bucket list to see it on a '5. you say Harvey's done some recent F-5's with Torch & Wire?

Well, I definitely approve this thread.

+1 for Max's attentiveness to the stewards of his instruments, as well. Always been quick with advice and info.
