  1. Re: AI and music: Billie Eilish, Sheryl Crow and Jon Bon Jovi

    That's a pretty bleak outlook. Especially the part about Taylor's plums.

    Re: Was away quite a while...

    Happy to see your post this morning. I know it's been a while 'cause I sent you a PM way back in 2020 wondering about your absence. Welcome back!

  4. Re: AI and music: Billie Eilish, Sheryl Crow and Jon Bon Jovi

    What you say is true. The problem is that those initial developments (synthesizers etc.) were the unnoticed fire being lit under the fabled pot of water. If AI is left to run it's course, the frog...

    Re: More Gibson Antics

    My feelings exactly. The clumsy, heavy handed tactics of the company 'suits' (including any leather-jacket clad pseudo ruffians) is what turned me away from any desire to support them.

  10. Re: Mike Compton demonstrates his 2008 Duff F-5 mandolin

    You won't be crucified. As said above, I know what you're getting at. I think most of us here do. But I would say this:

    Compton is a very accomplished picker. He has devoted himself, his life...
  11. Re: What are the chances that a moderately-priced mandolin sounds

    What you say is true pheffernan but we have no way to know. No workable parameters here. The phrase "moderately priced mandolin" appears in the thread title. The post then refers to the mandolins in...

    Without hearing it, I couldn't say for sure if it's a dog or not. But it sure ain't no DAWG. :disbelief:

    Re: Gibson's 1923 F-5 Master Model Reissue

    Bottom of the page here, it does say "Glued in, Set Neck". I take that as differentiating between mortise and tenon neck joint vs dove tail. No mention of glue used.

    Re: Gibson's 1923 F-5 Master Model Reissue

    Chances are, I'm not going to buy one, so it's not really that important to me personally. Regardless of what the 'hide glue' answer is, the question is still interesting. I read everything available...

    Re: Gibson's 1923 F-5 Master Model Reissue

    Hard to say. That is a significant sum of money. I suppose IF I could be assured of getting all (or most) of that money back sometime in the future, I might pull the trigger.

    On the other hand,...

    Charming for sure Rick. The penmanship employed in song #1 gives it a whole new spin!

    And by the way... song #2 was written by Don Imus' younger brother Fred.

    Re: A 1921 f2?

    That looks to be a very nice f2. Judging by what I can see of the interior, the case was also very nice until it was pried apart.

    Re: Church Praise Band Question

    Yes. What I should have said is "Just not glad enough to learn to like a bunch of those 'suspended' chords."

    Sherry. If you like the music the Praise Team is doing and want to be a part of it, I think you should do like Skip suggests. Let them hear what they've been missing!
