Don’t know why my IPad does that every once and a while. Usually just one or two words. It’s maddening, but funny too
I got bit by my Great Dane about 1 1/2 years ago, my pinky was broken and the tendon torn. Had surgery which did nothing. My finger is permanently bent. Luckily the mandolin neck being as small as it...
