    Re: Gordon Lightfoot (no mandolin content)

    It seemed like the wind here on the unsalted sea they call Superior was just a little colder today after hearing of Gordon's passing. He passed through here many times and caught every show, he was...

    Re: Old photo(s) with mandolin

    Here's an old photo that was in my uncle's wallet that was pretty beat up by the time I got to see it. He wouldn't let me borrow it to scan so I did my best with a point and shoot. He died a number...

    After learning and listening to a number of versions, I still like the version from Jethro Burns and his Mel Bay book Mandolin Player. You get a hi and low version to work with and the pull-off notes...

    Re: mandolins on television

    Last night on CBS's "Ghosts" in the last scene there was a mandolin in the background... I wish one of the ghosts had the ability to play like the blues singer can hum a melody to haunt the mansion.

    I'm still pounding on two Lloyd LaPlant mandolins. One A-style Lloyd built for me in the early 80's. Custom cedar top and asked him to finish the fret board like a J-200. The F-style is my...
