    Re: Luthier for violin/fiddle

    Thank you for the information. I gave that to my brother and he was saying the store is only 15 minutes from his house so he will take it there.

  5. Re: Blues Mandolin - Big Boss Man - John Hamlett Mandolin (!)

    Well played, sir, well played. Tone of the mandolin sounds great and a good improvement (from what I recall from your previous videos). I liked the tempo how you played the tune.

    Re: Do you name your instruments?

    I had a Michael Kelly Firefly flame that I called firefly. I have a Weber Gallatin I call Web and a Collings MTO I call Collings. I know, I am very creative with my names.

    Re: Tone Gard - Comfortable ?

    Re: I don't like F styles. Anyone else?

    I did a pasta dish with artichokes and bacon last week. It was a "empty cupboard" dinner. Turned out pretty good. I like to fry artichokes in a cast iron skillet.

    Re: Mandolins "Opening Up"

    I am not sure if my mandolins are opening up, but I realized that if I don't play one for a while and then come back to it, I hear mostly just the fundamental tones. As I play it more I begin to...
