    Re: A friend needs a Lefty fiddle tune book

    Yes I can read thank you. Trouble is, it wasn’t really a question was it, it was more of a demand. Anyway, tired of responding to such a rude person.

    Re: Marga's Moment

    Hey Lord of the Badgers on this forum knows Rex, if it was him playing, and even bought Rex’s old Phil Davidson mandolin. Wonder if this was recorded on that instrument Badger?

  12. Re: rather nice mandola back from the spray shop

    What a shame- I know what it’s like to lose instruments, even if this one never actually made it into your possession. Alas, to expensive for me, but I am sure someone is going to get a very fine...

    Re: Star of County Down

    Thank you everyone for the lovely comments. Must admit I am only familiar with the 4/4 version of this tune. I first came across it years and years ago on a quite new agey album with hammered...

    Best amp I’ve ever owned is an Acus One 8. Preferred it far more than an AER compact 60.

    Re: Lets Talk Eastman Line.

    Well, I recently acquired a very nice Eastman MD504 that I am very impressed with. I would agree that Eastmans can vary a lot in sound. I played another 504 in a different shop that wasn’t half as...
