Great job! Gotta wonder who does not know that insect repellent is harmful to an instrument.....just saying.

Honestly, I think it's the singing in a group setting that raises risk significantly, even outdoors. And personally, I can't not sing if folks are playing a song I know that needs a harmony part...

I'm in California and we're in an up-surge all over the state right now... From what I've been reading, everyone is exposed, the differences are in the dosage (or, the density) of the virus and in...

Like the song says .....you can live to be 100 if you give up everything worth living to 100 for. Seriously, it seems to be about distancing. So distance and enjoy picking.

Been doing it for about 6 weeks, every other week. Fortunately there are 2 couples who each play and 2 singles plus the wife and me. We have a square or pentangle depending on who shows. No...

I just did that very thing today. Jammed with 4 friends in a park, kept our distance, didn't shake hands. It felt good to be jamming again after being isolated since April. I'm not young but I lead...

That looks like one of the original “baby’s coffin” UK made Caltons - I have an identical one. I’m not aware that Keith ever made/sold a case cover - it’ll be a one off - and, personally, I’ve never...

Julie who has just died, was an American who became quite a star in the UK in the 60s- getting her own BBC TV show. She decided to leave the limelight but had a bit of a comeback quite recently. She...

Now this is singing!

The flu is manageable as there are vaccines, medications, and some built up immunity in strong, healthy individuals. Corona is like the flu 100 years ago - unknown impact and duration and until they...

The awesome folks at Thomastik-Infeld were so kind and sent me a couple sets of their flatwound mando strings when they heard I used them at Winfield. I restrung my mando and made this vid for them...
