Great job Scott!
I keep looking at Pava's "F" style, dang it's a fine looking instrument.
Your pics are making it hard. :)

My heavens, I shouldn’t have looked.
That’s a gorgeous instrument

I’ve been a Gibson fan for quite sometime but this rawly ticks me off.
Concentrate on making better guitars Gibson and less on your oittle snits.

I’m afraid I suffer the same addiction, les Paul’s are my downfall.
I have been looking at adding yet another mandolin to my collection.

and now for the hard part. Convincing the boss that...

I like his touch on the mandolin and his personality really shines.

Wow.
I’m living the way he finished the headstock.

Not yet but I suspect I was dang close at times. :)
We can be our own WORST critics.
Sometimes its justifies but I suspect more times than not, our performance was just fine.

Wow!

Chris Thile is always a good time, thanks for posting that.

I'm truly, truly sorry to hear this.
I know of another person who contracted lung cancer and never smoked in her life.

Concentrate on getting better but stop in to tell us how your doing.

In my experience, no more than three.
It keeps thing fresh to rotate between them but it's not so many that you lose interest or begin forgetting which verse goes with which piece.

It is for certain a love/hate relationship with a metronome.
Much like yourself, I do exercises with it and I swear there are days it’s just wrong or trying to trip me up.
Alas, it’s never the...

Free, now that’s my price!

The "Iron Maiden" is the term I ascribe to the common metronome.

It's completely without feelings, deadly accurate and is always willing to point out your deficiencies. Still, its the best device...

Been thinking about doing it in Key West

Its a very good forum.
I may not post all that much these days but I'm always reading, learning and when I feel the need, offering my 2 cents.
Lotsa, lotsa knowledgeable people out here.

I do seem to plateau a bunch anymore but I just keep playing and every once in a while , BINGO, something clicks.
I think it's just a game of persistence.

For me it's late afternoon around 4pm then after dinner till about 7 or so.
Those are my "golden" hours for playing.

Generally, what ever position your hands feel best.
That said, when I'm playing guitar or mandolin my hand is touching noting but the pick. It allows me to
float over the strings a bit better and...

However you celebrate, I hope you all have a perfect day.
After that huge meal, I'm gonna drag out "Gracie" and play a little.

Have a perfect day everyone.

Wasn't his mandolin heavily damaged then pieced back together?

Lee VanCleef!

Yup, caught by autospell again.

Roy Clark's passing stung a little bit.
Gee, now all three of them are up there playing away.
Jerry Read, Buck Owens and now Roy
