LOL. No words for that image.

Sorry for the late response. Back to school chaos.

Funny you should say this. He sleeps with an eye mask (aka blindfold, sorta)...and I had to talk him down from a super-duper fancy one that covers your ears too, and has this special padding....

Great idea! I think video recordings in response to anything posted would be a cool thing to include. :grin:

Confession time... Although I'm slightly dramatic in these videos, this truly is all in good fun and in no way intended to be offensive.

I agree - about both! I really like the sound of a lot of Dudenbostels, but the clicking throws me off a little bit.

A video clip for those of you out of work for the day...

Thanks to Empire Guitars in Providence, Rhode Island for letting us record Dem testing out these beautiful mandos...

Oh, goodness. Let's see...

:disbelief:

Sblock... your comments make me wonder if there should be MAS sponsors, a la AA ones.

For Pete's sake, here we go again...
