Great to see this article again. I am a picker from Michigan (now TX) and knew Tom back in the day. There’s even some old pics of me on his Flickr page.
C1000, me too.
It helps me to turn down the treble on my Widex hearing aids. Too jangly otherwise. Hope this helps.
I, too, have the Widex Moment. I customized an on-stage program. My audiologist (who is a musician) said there was a slight delay with the standard Universal program because of all the processing. So...
Kirk, I can’t speak to the latest research, but I upgraded about a year ago and my audiologist still recommended Wider. Good luck.
I am a long time friend of Jerry Hill. Bandmate too. So, that being said, I think it would be hard to find a better mandolin in the price range. They sound great with great playability. Fantastic...
I have been using hearing aids for about 5 years. I, too, have trouble with the high, tinny sound. My audiologist, who is also a picker, recommended Widex. Widex has a program called Pure which does...

Wow, Tom, great stuff. Hope all is well with you, sounds like it is.
There is a lot of bluegrass around. Don’t know of much near the convention center.

I grew up in the Detroit area and had the pleasure on knowing Nolan. Great, great mandolin player. He taught me how to play chop chords. Go in peace.
I played a lot of bluegrass in the area in the late 60s and 70s. I was a member of the Sunnysiders. I have an Miller Brothers LP (somewhere). Very cool that they got the award.
I feel fortunate to have grown up in the Detroit area. Lots of music of all kinds, lots of great ethnic food, great art museum, etc.
Hey DougC and catmandu2, fellow ex-Detroiter here. Left in ‘77 to come to Austin. I remember Strings ‘n Things. A bandmate managed the store. Do you remember Pick ‘n Strum. Also in Birmingham, the...
Dick Dubois is great. https://dougr.tripod.com/index-2.html

Yes, its a Randy Wood A50 conversion. I played in a band the winter of ‘72 in Colorado (Goldrush). Brian Lappin, the banjo picker, bought it from Tut Taylor. Don’t know what happened to it after that.
Can anyone tell what pickup she is using? I don’t think she is plugged in for the video, but i am curious.
I’ve played the acoustic for decades and have a very heavy (for lack of a better term) approach with both hands. With the electric, I have had much better results with a thinner pick and a looser...

Way to go Ben. See you soon.
Proud owner of #70. Happy Birthday, Mike. Sorry, no tat.
I’ve been playing the fiddle about 40 years; the mandolin for about 45. My mandolin playing came along, but my fiddle playing.....I had about 6 months of classical violin lessons early on to try to...
New Blevins? How about Old Blevins.

As I mandolin player, I have often felt compelled to cram as many notes as I could into breaks and tunes. However, as I have progressed on the fiddle, I have found I do much better by taking out...
