Good to hear from you Alan, hope all's well in NC, and hey a shout out to Buddy Arthur. Thanks for the compliment, but remember it happened because a man named Rudy Cippola showed me how to write a...

As one of the OLDer guys in the photo and owner of #37GA I can only answer to the query of "grassroots" respectfully as saying, that they all sound great for different reasons. I never met a...

Arthur,
Don't need directions, just a car that gets me there and back. Can't believe this string is still alive.
All the best from 1,725 miles away...say hey to Dan.

I never knew this as "ear worms", so I have enough to go fishin with. Right now, it's a Paul Glasse mandola tune he just wrote. I listen to ear worms so much, I don't need a radio...and, yes, running...

I just wanted to take a moment to Congratulate PGlasse on his marriage to Miss Polly Reynolds!!, now Mrs. PGlasse...I guess I have to be more clear when asking for PGlasse now. It was a wonderful low...

I would have to chime in on this since Fiddlers Green is my store. Since Clay and Ben dig mandolins, I don't think you can go wrong. Matter of fact my Monte needs some set up as well...Ben? check out...

Hey this is cool to see this video, I was a lucky guy in Paul coming to my house and showing me this new Signature model mandola. I thought I was beatin him to the punch with my name on an order for...

Hey Glasse!!
Here is to the best 2010 for you. Keep playin and writing, and they will come...
Have a fun show at the Paramount and hope to see you shortly...now back to harmonic, melodic minor2...

Since when is buying mandolins different than any other money transaction?
You make an agreement, pay a deposit, and pray for somewhere close to the time of completion. Why give the builder more...

The most beautiful place was Stern Grove in SF, or the Arboretium in Eureka.
Most faraway place was Fairbanks Alaska, including Denali.
But the strangest and intense was doing San Quentin Prison on...

If you look at my avatar you will see a guy who understands what it would mean to have this happen...This is a great feeling for all of us to see a good ending, decent enough.

Yeah, but lets keep it in the forefront by adding a string entry Paul.
This is a good cause. My father uses this device as well. Its a digital device that can be attenuated to recognize the missing...

That is Rick McCrae playing guitar. He is one of the sweetest Texas swing jazz guys around along with anything he plays guitar on. He tours with the Ace in the Hole band with George Strait. Rick is...

Hey Art, I will be in town next week. Hope I can arrange to come on over. It would be great to visit, and of course see Dawg.

I think this is a wonderful forum and a chance to gain insights from the persons who define this mandolin society of ours. If you gain anything from these conversations, its a win win scenario. I...

If you are seeing some of it, then it has to help. Outside of that, I am opinionated in both directions. But to see paid string players on stage on a national level...its only helpful. I remember...

I too have been to a couple of these gigs at Cafe Caffine. Mostly in Austin we see Paul playing with Mitch Watkins and Gene Elders. However, Russ and Paul have been playing excellent stuff, and...

You are correct, David has one of the best tonal attacks in the biz absolutely. Being Bias to more than a degree, it is a benchmark for me.
Dang, the Dawg is looking rather dapper and shorn...

When something is wrong, never be afraid to stop and restart. If its about being out of tune, they have some great tuners that will drop you from the sound system and display a good silent visual...

Paul,
As a buddy neighbor in Austin, I could simply ask you these questions at your door. For the sake of the Mandolin community, in which I highly am a proponent of this community knowing Paul...

Something mandolin players did not have in the past, the ability to communicate with each other over vast distances, catch up with old friends, and help support people when the time comes calling. I...

No ones brought up having to play next to a tractor pull!..Kinda takes the sensitivity out of a ballad.
Its a funny life at the fairs and how you have to qualify each level to move to the...

Add my name to the list of people complaining about the cost who ended up purchasing one, with a return promise if I didn't like...I never returned it. Its a great pick.
Too bad they have to be so...

Mister T.
I got my new caps and they are great... so I had to get 2 more.. they are nicely understated and fit well.
