Holy cow, I love this. Where's this Taterbug Mando Group thing? I gotta get in on thise, Mike Compton is one of my favorites...

What's that song he's playing at the beginning? It's beautiful! I want to learn it!

Evening Prayer Blues

I make such a weird face when I play. It's like, expressionless. I guess it's either that or go all Chris Thile on everyone which some find...uncomfortable.

I agree, there's some really great players on here. and I love to see how different everyone is in material, picking approach, etc. So many cool things out there!

I have a new one! I'll record the...

Tim O'Brien's "Walk Beside Me"

Well, I got one playing mandolin! I don't sing it very often and had to have the words in front of me, so I didn't really dig into it. It's funny how you can do that to a song you really know....

This is awesome. A lot of it reminds me of some of the stuff I've seen of Mike Compton, but then it has a very european feel as well.

I've got one! My first youtube video. Not playing mandolin on...

that was fantastic! I'll have to find more information about this recording you're doing with Mike!

I bought this as soon as I saw it was out, fabulous CD so far! I saw her at Rockygrass Academy in 2004, tiny little girl singing Blue Night with a voice like a cannon at a jam session around a...

Why would you not be able to fit an A model inside an F style case? My A style fits inside my calton just fine...there are just empty places for points.

I've been trying to develop the song 'Harder Better Faster Stronger" by Daft Punk for mandolin & double bass...it's actually really really fun to play.

The lyrics are strange though. It will be...

I don't think there's really a necessarily right way to play songs like that - I personally haven't learned any songs in a closed position but I know that if I chose to do so, I'd probably get a much...

The treble strings aren't usually crossed...that was a mistake when I string it up this spring. It doesn't look like that currently. :)

As for the minimal winding, I just find that it takes less...

I bought a used HD28 in April and I LOVE it....

It's really fun for me to learn all of my songs on both guitar and mandolin. Takes longer to accumulate a repertoire but I feel like I'm learning...

Hah! I'll let you know James!

I'll let my fellow Blood Patrol Member know we have developed a cult following...

Thanks for the kind words everyone. :)

What a ride folks! It was October of 2006 when I ordered a mandolin from Keith, and two months later, a week or two before Christmas, I...

I bet A Day In The Life on that LP is even crazier now than it was before - you should see if it's playable! Might make a fun noise project.

How many times do you think Earl Scruggs has played that song in his lifetime? It's sort of a depressing thought...

Gillian Welch's Annabelle, and I'm sitting here listening to Eighth of February, scratching my chin and wondering if I should give it a serious shot...what a pretty song.

I COULD start thinking about getting an octave mando...but I really should pay for rent and food instead :P

Heck yeah he is!

I absolutely love Firewire strings.
