    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.

    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.
  7. Re: Jerry Hill Mandolins -- Anyone seen/tried/have one? Feedback

    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...

    Re: RIP Nolan Faulkner

    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.

    Re: Miller Brothers Bluegrass

    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.

    Re: Young Sam Bush A5 video

    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.

    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...
