Good post, CM.

I'm a big believer in relationship, communication and in the attitude and practice of love, which inherently recognizes that suffering is a call to respond, not to condemn.

We...

Cornelius, I'm clear you don't condone certain behaviors and you have both positive experiences and attitude concerning JW. There have been a number of posts actually making an argument for his...

CM, which part of my rhetoric do you suggest I watch? I had many good talks with JW while I deliberated pulling the trigger. I liked him (and of course was enormously desirous of one of his mandos)...

Crandolin and other Weins apologists, ...where is Jaime in all of this? If this thread has served its purpose--and Scott has more than adequately explained its continued existence, Jaime has but to...

This is a long time after the quote, but I had to say, Duane wore a 'stache with mutton chops; it was Greg who had the big burns, no 'stache and a soul patch--FWIW.

To diminish the non-sequitor...

Hey John, looks like you're having trouble uploading. Good luck with it as I and many others are looking forward to your finished project pics.

Ray had a Flatiron pancake--the first I've ever played--that would be well worth your while to check out. #What a great sounding, beautifully playable, aesthetically pleasing and under $1K...

Thanks for the headsup, George. Hope to run into you there.

Pat Skrovan owns Quincy's Guitars at the intersection of S. Congress and Riverside (in Austin). #Incredible shop and a great guy, who happens to have an exceptional custom blacktop MT that'll knock...

Hey Mark, it's nice to hear of somebody who knew the Doctrine back then. #For the few years before it went into the ragbag, I wore a Monroe Doctrine t-shirt around Cambridge and the Bay Area and...

Good call, guys. And, Jim, you had some good stuff to say, too.

Good thread, lads.

Thanks, all, for the input. I thought this thread would elicit more from those having dealt with overly humid climes, but it seems overly arid conditions have been a more popular/common issue than...

Thanks, Joes Big and D, as I've never used air conditioning and my housemates aren't inclined to use it until things get "beastly", the home AC doesn't seem to be a ready remedy. I thought
that,...

Just moved to Austin, where the humidity has been consistently 70%. #I've kept my instruments in their cases, but would prefer to keep them out by regulating the humidity in my bedroom.

I did a...

Guess I go back to the '70s awed and inspired by Mr. Dave, so I'm always glad to commune with other fans. #Can anybody help me find his album "Mr. Dave"? #By which I mean, can anybody burn me a copy...

Ditto all of the above, Jim; thanks for continuing to bring such good stuff. I'm still looking forward to the day Niles cuts loose on youtube!

The question really is, why on/in RAILROAD EARTH would you put a pickup on a good mandolin? As Mike suggested, maybe it's 'cause he plays with drums and a lot of other great pickers in good-sized...

I thought DP was already the king of orange mandolins, but my hat's off to you, sir. Indeed, the BRW and your playing are more than noteworthy and this Duff looks like a triumph. Congratulations.

I've know the Mullins brothers, Steve and Brian, for about three years--almost ever since I discovered mandolin.

Recently, I pulled out a few of their CDs for a road trip and was, once again...

It's been posted many times but check out www.mandolincentral.com for the Kentucky history lesson.

If you can find someone who does a better setup, let us know.

Hi Butch, although we've talked a few times and had a few emails 'bout the mandos you were selling, you don't know me, directly. #However, tonight, I'm moved to write you, for reasons which will...

Colorado Case company is worth a look.

What Art said! #I caught these guys in Snowmass, CO a few weeks earlier and they simply floored everybody. #Del McCoury and the boys not only played a phenomenal set, but came out and jammed with DGQ...

Dylan's "Idiot Wind" is a classic!
