An update! It turns out that the part I was sent is missing its third page. The orchestra parts continue through rehearsal number 17, whereas the guitar part ends at a cadence just after reh....

Thank you both! I just got a copy via email from Joyce Adams that looks like what I need. Yay!!! The guitarists will be so happy. They were not happy when I asked them to play the banjo part last...

Mandolin orchestra part request! I need the guitar part to:

I have an oval holed Breedlove Orca...a very nice instrument. It does have a very guitar-like neck profile, fat frets, radiused board. Its comfortable to play and a very well made instrument. I...

Thanks for sharing the good news Marcos! Hamilton has been busy! I look forward to all of these.

The Milwaukee Mandolin Orchestra has guitars. They're always classical, not steel string.

Thanks Mick! It was great to meet you. It really was a fun concert. They've already asked us back to open next year's season series there and Robin agreed to sing, so I'm excited about that! I...

Its a ten string Brazilian bandolim made by Tercio Ribiero, just a few years old...can't recall the year at the moment. I play it because I love the way it sounds....simple as that! See you in...

Before our 110th anniv. concert on Saturday, and at intermission, we'll be showing slide shows on the pair of big new screens at the Cedarburg Center. Special thanks to orchestra friend Kelly P....

ha! Thanks Jamie. Nice to know you too! "Maestro" sounds like a big cheese though, whereas I am but a humble cheesehead.

I am happily anticipating said revelations and.....degustations!

That thin vintage phonograph sound is part of what makes them appealing. I'll actually be playing a borrowned Stroh violin on two Tin Pan Alley tunes with the Milwaukee Mandolin Orchestra on our...

I'm downloading it now Chris. Congrats! The clips I heard sound great. I can't wait to hear the whole thing....just a few more minutes of downloading to go!
I'm disappointed I won't get to see...

Mick, absolutely!!!! I just noticed you're in MKE!
Thanks Journeybear. A southern tour is an idea I'll dream about during the long Wisconsin season of ice, snow, and sub-zero wind chills! You...

Victor, thank you so much. I am excited about this concert. I was inspired last year by the Tin Pan Alley era music in the animated movie Sita Sings the Blues which is available to watch on line....
