This is a really nice story.
Don is a great guy who has worked at the mandolin for a long time.
Wonderful to see him achieving wider success.

Thanks for the article. I have been wondering about my emerging tinitus.
Bob
I seem to be developing tinitus. I notice it more after daily practice. It seems to be related to the frequencies produced by the mando.
Hope this is not the cause. I have taken to using an...
Rich is a very nice guy. His classes are enjoyable.
I like to sing too and he is great with songs. Thanks for the interview.
Hope the Stealth floats past me someday. I would love to hear it. I have a Brentrup A that I got on a tip from Ken O. It is wonderful. I feel really lucky.
Hi Don:
I met you at the 09 Symposium and really enjoyed hearing Mr. Natural. Saw you after midnight jaming under a street light between the dorms. Lots of fun.
Congratulations on the article.
Been working on this tune today. It is definitely an ear worm.

Ken, you are the man.
This beauty is really generating a lot of interest.
I came away from the Symposium with a bad case of MAS and this isn't helping.
Congratulations and I will see you...
I really like the comfort of the Longhollow softy.
Hi:
Try some superglue on the fingertips for a while. Your skin won't shred and you will build up the calluses. It won't take long.
Attended the Mike Marshall big trio concert in Petaluma Saturday evening.
With Alex Hargreaves & Paul Kowert.
Small venue at a local church. Great acoustics so no mics needed. The sound was...
Hi Mando J.
I agree. It is not the best time to visit. But that is the way it goes. Too bad about the orchestra. They are a lot of fun.
I will check the links.

Hello all:
I am going to spend a week in St.Louis August 5th trough the 12th.
Anyone know where to play or listen to some mando music?
Mandolin orchestra type stuff would be fun.
Thanks.
Well, I have heard that it is the end of the current world but the start of the next one. A new one where we all become a bunch smarter.
So I might be able to play some Grisman licks. Looking...
I have just taken a #2 pencil and striped some lines across the strings every other fret or so.
The graphite dust seems to make them slippery again.
I do clean them first.
Political stuff on the Plaza in Sonoma for the annual parade around the square. Very small town event. Then off for a big electric jam and potluck on Saturday. Lots of guitars, singers and one...
Hello all: Speaking of David Grisman, I attended a performance of the Quintet in Marin this evening. Wonderful show under the stars at a very cozy venue. The members of the group are so good. Frank...

Hello all:
These are not really ridiculous, close but more awe inspiring. I saw them the the Healdsburg Guitar Festival last year.

Hi All:
I have had this CD for years. We listened with the kids. Then it got lost in the shuffle. I pulled it out when we moved a couple of years ago and enjoyed it again without kids.
I...
Great story. I have had good success with accupuncture for tendonitis around the elbow. Intellectually I don't even believe in the theory, but it worked anyway.
Bob
I agree with everything said above. It was an amazing day. Never considered that I would be able to play any of these much less on the same day.
My fingers are still sore.
Bob
OK, 19th century Gibsons.

Sorry,
Bit of a typo in my last post. Should have read "They were all wonderful."
