Yup.
I was at the CD release party.
Low-key event, mighty fun.
Joe is a great player, fun to watch too. He is about the most laid-back stage presence you will see.

I don't think that there is a real connection between flyfishing and mandopickin', other that they are both fun as all get-out...
One of the rivers that I guide on has an old cabin on it, a...
Y'all will probably be horrified at this, but this is where I keep one of the herd...
Short for "Gastineau Smolt", a popular Dolly Varden fly.
Fitting, because I am Fish-Obsessed, much more than mando-obsessed...the Dolly is one of the fish I am smitten by, and I live on the shore...
The Improbabillies also do a bitchin' Salt River...check out the track Here

Yeah Conor wasn't shy about findin' a mike to pick into...looks like he ate a few, from the treble F-Hole.
The "Cash in the F-Hole" is just that...it's a two-dollar bill.

Kratzer & Gresham built good mandos for awhile. Barry (the K in K&G, who also posts on MC) is now making "Bulldog" mandolins, of which I owned #1 for a brief time. I would think that 2700-mid 3's...
Seconding the suggestion for emery boards, as well as the final buff on Levi's or another coarse cotton fabric.
If you REALLY want to give the pick that comfy, "played-in" feel, try duplicating...

Problem Solved.
I got off the phone with the builder about 10 minutes ago. I described the problem, the steps I had taken, and what came of those steps.
He said, "Defective string."
While...
Hey y'all-
Changed strings on one of my mandos, just like I always do - loosen top G, cut, replace, loosen second G, cut, replace...on down to the second E...the bridge never moved, all other...
I have a Carver A, and I pick it up more frequently than most of my other axes. Nice tone, don't hafta beat it to death to make it sound nice, and it feels good in the hand.
You should PM Chris,...
I like it.
First time I've heard "Wheel Hoss" strung together with "Blackberry Blossom", but it sounds nice, G.
Strong work, Hans.
No go for me as well.
VERY hard to cost-justify a $1000+, 3-day weekend just to hang around a buncha mando-nerds...
Dang, I'm gonna miss it......
I got 10 sets of strings from my Pa 'n Ma.
Better, I got my Pa 2 CD's (Jackstraw's Rubber Wheels and Foghorn's Weiser Sunrise), Adjusted the action on his A.L. Smart A, Changed strings, Cleaned up...

Congrats on the doubleheader...cute-as-a-button kid and a snazzy-lookin' mando.
I lurk on messageboards like this one, wait for threads about rich, multiple-mando owners like this one, then I hunt them down, whack them, and take their mandos.
Hey y'all, I'm gonna be doing the annual in-laws / outlaws christmas tour, and I'm going to be in seattle for a week, then austin TX for a week.
If any of you mando-obsessed folks want to meet up...
