Thanks for all the feedback. I think the problem has more to do with not having someone mixing out front along with over playing during the breaks. We have a decent sound system and I have my own...

I have been playing with a couple of bands for the last year or so just for fun. It always seems that by the time we start playing the guitars and bass tend to drown out the mandolin and sometimes...

Alright Harrmob, now you're getting personal! I guess I'll just have to come down there to Mobile Music next Thursday night and pick with ya! I hear they have a good jam there on the first Thursday...

War Eagle from the Lovliest Village. I finished at Auburn in 87 and moved back home to north Alabama. Moved back to Auburn in 2001 and have loved every minute of it. The...

Hey Jasper:

I live in Auburn, 45 miles up I 85 from Montgomery. The third Tursday of every month there is a fun bluegrass jam at a restaurant called "Cock of the Walk" off of exit 58 in Opelika....

I agree with Greg. I spoke with Michael back in April and he had two Mandolins at that time. I bought my Heiden from Peter Mix nearly two years ago and will be hard parted from it. It has gotten...

I bought an MM 70 in the summer of 1982 after working a summer job. It was my first F model mando and I just haven't been able to part with it despite purchasing three additional mandos in the last...

Wow TonyP, I checked the site out and must say I'm not as comfortable with using the tone gard now even though I ordered one from Boyd's today. I suppose I'll just have to be really careful. I've not...

Thanks to all for the feedback. I appreciate all of the suggestions. I have been thinking about a toneguard so that is certainly an option I will look into more closely. Regarding the French Polish,...

It was a little muggy outside at a jam this evening. When I got home and started to wipe down my mandolin I noticed a white coloration on the back where it rested against my shirt. I have a varnish...

The Gibson Shop at the Opry Mills Mall is really neat. I had a great visit there recently. Lot's of nice instruments (Mandolins, Guitars, Banjos etc.). The folks were friendly and there are a number...

I will begin traveling to the Florida panhandle regularly beginning in March. Does anyone know of any regular jams from the Panama City to Mobile area?

Thanks,

Jeff

I had a mid-life crisis in Feb. 03 and bought a Heiden Artist that was advertised here on the cafe. I haven't looked back and have enjoyed every opportunity to play it. Since that time I have also...

There's an idea! I could just invest his college fund in that Master Model and let it appreciate the next 11 years! On second thought I might not be able to cast it into the fire.
Sort of like...

I would like to start teaching my 7 year old to play the mandolin. He has trouble depressing the strings enough to get much sound. I have let him try my old Epiphone MM70 and Flatiron Performer A and...

Hey Charlie and Big Joe:

I was in Nashville last weekend taking a lesson from Roland White and had a chance to stop by the shop. I was hoping to get a chance to talk to both of you but ya'll had...
