Well done!
Only 1,001 Irish tunes? Only?
Very nice. Thank you for posting. (Vintage Gibson snakehead?)
Good old Arlo. I hope he enjoys retirement. He's worked hard.
Aww. Too bad. Great songwriter. He had a good long life, though -- longer than I would've expected. I guess he's finally off of the LA freeway.
As time passes, I prefer As more and more. I'm not really sure why. They just seem less fussy. I have some nice Fs, too, but my Collings A is the mandolin I play the most.
I agree video is a useful tool. It doesn't lie.
I also find the SAW group to be enormously beneficial and have participated off an on since the beginning, life and schedule permitting. Committing...
Cast my vote for Red Diamond. My F5 is just alien-technology voodoo good. And I have some other nice mandolins. But the RD is the bluegrass (and other) beast. And that goes double if I'm playing with...
I dare you to learn the Bb version. Just for extra credit.
OK, that's it -- next trip is to Dumfries, honestly. I liked Ireland but I love Scotland. Totally ready to go back. My initial sortie was Glasgow, up to Inverness and back to Edinburgh. Adored the...
My extensive research into this tune (typing the title into Google) further reveals that "Hole in the Wall" is in reference to a cozy English pub.

Apparently "Hole in the Wall" was written by Henry Purcell, 1659-1695. Here's a cool video of the tune being played on what appear to be Vulcan sitars.

Yes, Simon, Lantern is a good tune. I leaned it, before Blind Mary turned into another come-from-behind winner. So hopefully Lantern will get another at bat. There are some petty funny comments about...
I don’t think I’ve seen anybody play a mandolin with a thumb pick. ... “Some bad stuff happen” indeed. : ( But fun video. Thanks for sharing.
The fiddling collection is wonderful. Thanks for the heads up.
Nice looking mandolin. Congratulations. I've seen these advertised but never played one. Hope you got a good deal. Enjoy!
I have a '24 A2Z and a Gil from the first batch. Both rock. I'm south of you in Iowa. If ya want to meet up for a sampling, get in touch.
Very nice! I love these.
OK, I found a video of my friend Dr. Frank Claudy playing "Old Decency," so I'm throwing in for that. I'll try to get him to record it with me if it wins the horse race.

Play them both and decide. I like Kimbles but have never owned one. I do have a killer Duff F5. Love it. When I wore the frets down Dale Ludwig did an excellent job installing those big EVO frets,...
Lauren is an incredible player and a wonderful person to boot!
At least an hour. I like to play as much as possible, around other things that need to happen. The morning is the best time to practice. I usually start practicing with my second cup of coffee. (I...
I like your thinking. I think I'd give that Collings a serious look and then go from there. I also like your adventurous ideas as to fonts and type sizes. Not sure why we're all always using the...
