Musicofanatic, Any of those band's names happen to rhyme with the word "Summerdog"? Those were some mighty fine times.

After not touching a drop for about 6 months I had my first glass of red wine while sitting in with some friends at a local steak house. I immediately felt the buzz, and struggled with timing which...
Hey Colin, Just want to say thanks for all the really nice work you do. Any day I start out by listening to one of your tunes is a good one.

Journeybear, you mentioned you have never heard of a flight with no carryon. The ticket was called "basic economy" which turns out to be different from "economy". You have to read the print...
Flew across country last week. If you haven't flown for a while, read your ticket info carefully. My so-called "economy" ticket said no carry on allowed. I have never had a problem putting the mando...
Thanks for putting this up. Great video These guys nail it.
Forgot to mention that I didn't have the Unitune to compare with. That got some good recommendations on the original thread. For those who live where glare from the sun is a rarity, sorry.
After the recent thread about what tuners are most readable in full sun I went out and bought a Peterson Strobe. It cost $60. from an online music dealer with a good reputation whose name might ...
Wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a clip on tuner that's screen is visible in the glare of full sun? Currently using a Planet Wave which I like but whose screen is basically invisible in...
My work is mainly duos with a guitar player. When they are finger picking my main goal is to listen and not get in the way of what they are doing. As Dave mentioned open chords, simple runs, or...
Just wondering if anyone out there has any experience with the Zeta Acoustic Electric mandolins that were introduced several years ago? Is a pre amp needed? How do they sound? Thanks Jim
Just went briefly to the website but could you explain what Nugs is and how it works?
Thanks for sharing this. I will pass it on to his widow.
No amplification means you are there as part of the scenery and to create a mood. (Or, it might mean they really hadn't thought things through but that is a different story.) Go play, have fun, and...
Personal experience from last weekend, flying American Airlines, Tucson to Raleigh and back. There were 5 total legs on this trip. Overall no problems. However, if you can swing it I recommend...
Lou, It was fun meeting you and the Ellis. Thanks.
Pickamania made me rethink the festival experience. There really is something nice about a gathering small enough where it is comfortable to go...
Just got back from Pickamania 2023 which was held in the small old mining town of Kingston, NM. This years festival was dedicated to luthier and Pickamania founder Bill Bussmann. Bill was an...
I recently ditched a clip on mic, AT Pro 35, for a Shure 81. The Pro 35 was almost too good as it picked up everything, including each time my hand or pick touched the mando body.
Before...
Thanks for the responses Bill and Steve. Looks like I am trying to do the old square peg in a round hole routine. Think I will look at other options.

I am trying to install Ireal Pro but would like it on my desk top not a phone. I have Googled instructions and downloaded Blue Stack, which was recommended, but no luck figuring it out from there....
Enjoying the updates. Please keep them coming.
SA, Very cool piece of music. The playing is smooth. I really enjoyed it.
Wishing you swift victory.

Mark, Glad to hear it went well and I know you and your son are going to keep on killing it. I gig with my son every chance I get and it is always an honor and a treat. Good luck with future jobs. ...
In addition to the Tonematch there are 4 mics, chords, power strips, extra chords, mando stand, and back ups for almost anything that can go wrong. There are no music stores for many miles and the...
Charlie, Lots of good advice above. I would just add, be yourself. Nothing turns folks off quicker than someone who suddenly becomes "country" or "cowboy" when they hit the stage. If you are not a...
