    Re: Happy Birthday Big Dawg!!!

    The answer to that seems obvious to me - he's a magician as well as a musician. :mandosmiley:

    The Gibson Factory in Kalamazoo

    I just happened across this brief youtube video thanks to their autosuggestion function. It's only a couple of years old and includes some interesting information. For one thing, it mentions plans by...

    Re: Give a Little Bit

    Just saw this, and it's a bit late for me to unpack Molly and see what's what. But looking at Ultimate Guitar, Versions 3, 4, and 5 look to be pretty close to right. Version 2, with the much greater...

    Re: Thoughts on keys.

    So, a video running 16:30 about this "issue." I don't think I could watch ten seconds of it. OK, I'll admit to accepting some willful ignorance concerning this. And I'm fine with that. ;)

  7. Re: Well done, legit, full band bluegrass backing tracks

    Several? There are dozens! :disbelief: I'm at the library now so I can't listen, but I will later. Maybe I'll be able to step up my game and have something different to bring to the monthly bluegrass...

    Re: Whiskey barrel octave mandolin

    Might work as an electric. Might. Wood's way too thick for any decent acoustic music production. And there's still the intonation. :whistling: Fashion a whammy bar out of a keg pull and off you go!...

    Re: Random mandolin sightings

    Oh, I dunno. It doesn't sound that bad to me, though I'm fine with olives, no wish to change. I also like an olive or two in a Bloody Mary, along with lots of other stuff. ;) But I'm not much for...

    Re: Random mandolin sightings

    OK, technically, this is not a mandolin sighting, but a Gibson sighting. Also technically, it's not a Gibson mandolin sighting - I just didn't know where else to put this, and it sure didn't seem to...

  17. Re: Most tunes I post to YouTube are 65+ years old

    Ha ha ha! Yes, this. And that music was revolutionary in its time. Still is, in some ways, even now. I remember what got called "oldies" in the 60s - much of it was doo-wop, from just ten years or so...
