Consider yourself invited - I'll be in touch :mandosmiley:

Anything going on this week?

I actually like James Taylor's version though...

Another thread about a made up riff reminded me of this conundrum. It constantly happens to me that I come up with something that I think is original and sounds good, only to realize weeks or months...

Is this the page you're getting?

With my nasty computer speakers I couldn't hear a ton of difference - if I was choosing though I'd pick 5907. #Visually I'd choose 6207. #FWIW - I'm sure my tastes don't match yours...

Mike, that's really true. #Another thought is that a player who's too good to play with a lesser player probably isn't as good as he thinks he is. #Time and again I've seen a master musician sit with...

When I was a teenager I was playing with my uncle's band and had a pretty nice strat I was proud of. #I offered to let him try it out and he said, "I heard it, and it doesn't work!" #

Funny how...

I remember it mandopete. #I found the site back in 2002 when I first started messing around with mandolins. #I've been away and back on several occasions - mostly reflecting the time I've had to...

I'm quickly moving from resigned to excited about this move http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I'd agree with the above as well. Never played a Kentucky but as an M1 owner I can't think of anything negative to say about the Mid-Mo.

Thanks both of you for the info - that really helps. I can't think of any other questions I have right now, but if I do I'll be sure to contact you...

I find that I may be moving to the St. Charles/St. Louis area soon - does anybody know what the music scene is like there? Jams, local flavor, etc.
Thanks,

Brad

I dig it. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/blues.gif

Get "Tony Rice Plays Gordon Lightfoot" for several of Lightfoot's songs that lend themselves well to a mandolin flavor.

Here's the songlist:
GO MY WAY
HOME FROM THE FOREST
FINE AS FINE CAN BE...

That was the least? LOL my MT is the most expensive instrument I have ever bought. My cheapest... either the free Epiphone A I started with, or if that doesn't count since I didn't "pay" anything...

Add me please - I'm a minister and a player, but, alas, our congregation doesn't use instrumental music...

The only time I go to extra effort is after one of my kids has played my guitar or mando - there's something about kid chemistry that seems to rust strings on contact...

Can't get them anymore new, but the Big Muddy's are pretty much the same instrument. I got my m1 new several years ago for around $300. Not sure what the Big Muddy's go for. They are great playing,...

I picked up a small speaker for my daughter's ipod at Toys R Us of all places. #Not great quality, but it works - I've used it a couple times with the H2 just so I wouldn't have to be "plugged in."...

no, but there are several with the semi-scroll...

There are too many exceptions to that statement to even start...

I hear what you guys are saying, but I would also say that a voice like that is a gift. Most of us can sing some, and all of us can learn to sing better with what we've got - but the voice that...

I'm a piker compared to you guys - I've only owned 4 mandolins in 6 years. The first one was a Mid Missouri M1, which I still have, although my daughter has claimed it. Then I bought a Fender FM-53...
