Congrats. Here's to many mandolin Mondays.

I do woodworking as a hobby. I was tired of making furniture. I wanted to make something challenging but small. I thought I would make a bowl back mandolin because my uncle had one when I was a kid....
Thanks for the post Mark. You are certainly a multi-talented guy.

I attended a repertoire workshop. We learned 3-4 tunes a day for three days straight. I was overwhelmed after the first day. Others in the class caught on much quicker. Several were professional,...
Thanks for posting. I watched "This Ain't No Mouse Music" a few years ago. Very interesting.

Jamie Laval and Ashley Broder play together on "Murmurs and Drones" too.

Hank,
Is the ninth string used as a triple chord or is it a single string tuned independently? Can it be used as a drone like a 5 string banjo?
Cool instrument. I'm glad you have it and are using...
I'm not sure how they are with non-local players, but for listening there is a Sunday afternoon session at the Crane in Galway. It was really good. We also listened to a session at Tigh Coili and the...
Applying this to learning an instrument?

Buy now.
Don't eat until March, so you can buy again.
Priorities!
"This Ain't No Mouse Music" is a great documentary. It's about Chris Strachwitz of Arhoolie Records collecting examples of America's musical roots.

Lappy, I'd like to see a pic of your mandolin.

I always throw the cork in the fireplace as soon as I open the bottle. ;)
Saw Steely Dan a few years ago. They put on a great show. I was impressed by the players they brought with them on tour. Several talented back-up musicians and three fantastic female vocalists. I...
Randi,
Who would that be? I may have seen them.

This is billed as the biggest Irish festival in the U.S. Lots of great acts. This years theme is Irish Trad from Dublin's Temple Bar district. Five large stages and half a dozen smaller venues....
Greg,
Did you record that at Taaffes? I was in Galway in May. Couldn't squeeze in at Taaffes but listened to a great session across the street at Tig Coili and later at the Crane. Great fun.
BJ
They are a great gig to see at Irishfest. They have also played at the ICHC, Irish Cultural Heritage Center, which is in and old church. A very close and intimate show. Also looking forward to seeing...
