"That was Jared Clemons on sax, BTW, Clarence Clemons' son, who has filled the gaping hole left when The Big Man passed away a few years ago."

Actually, I'm pretty sure that was Jake Clemons, ...

if you get down to Vancouver take it in to luthier Nicole Alosinac - she does very nice work...

Yes it was a fine performance. Their music is not something you can hum along with or tap your foot to, but it was tour-de-force of sheer virtuosity, and was mostly fresh sounding and entertaining....

I happened to watch a YouTube with John Reischman discussing his Loar - I'm sure this has been watched by many. I noticed something odd at about the 2:16 mark: a close-up of the bridge shows the...

Thanks for the replies, but still looking for an answer to these questions: solid carved spruce top? ...back and sides solid or laminate....? anybody know?

This is on eBay, and the seller has not posted any response to questions regarding actual model number, year, whether or not it is all solid woods. Does anyone have any reliable info about these...

Count me in.....thanks

Thanks MRT - your link worked.

Thanks MRT, but all I get is the one thumbnail. This happens both with my iPad and my MacBook. The Django book link works fine, but not the Swingjam.

This seems like a great resource. Unfortunately, all I seem to get from the link is the thumbnail of After You've Gone. Any help in getting the full PDF of the collection would be much appreciated.

Well, I don't think that's true. Sixthman (the event producer) takes over the entire cruise, and all the guests are there for the music (and also the "normal" cruise activities, but without the...

I went on the "Cayamo" cruise this past Feb, also on a NCL ship, and also produced by Sixthman. They have been doing this for 5-6 years, but this was my first time ever on any cruise. This one was...

When you say you are interested in in the Kentucky as a second mandolin, are you thinking that it will be an upgrade from your MM, or somewhat of an equal (or lesser?) second, for the sake of having...

Saw hometown star Colin James perform last night in a packed small club with Steve Dawson's band backing him up - absolutely stellar. Steve Dawson is a multi-instrumentalist extraordinaire, on slide...

Keith Richard has over 3000 guitars, but says he only plays about ten of them. He has also famously said that although he has played many different models and types of electric guitars, "give me...

Payit Forward raised a good question (no answer here yet): is the color (sunburst and all) contained within the "plastic" (poly?) finish, or is the finish a clear coat over stained wood? From the...

I have always maintained that I wouldn't buy a guitar online (I like to see and play it) but with mandolins, there are just not that many around to try out in person. Therefore, I have been tempted...

I sent you a PM .....

This is a folk-pop trio that has a nice sound and energy. Mandolinist Bryan Dawley also doubles on Bass (like JP Jones). This is from the recent Cayamo 2012 cruise - not my video.

I recently flew from Miami - Houston - Vancouver via Continental/United and carried my mandolin on. No questions, no issues whatsoever, as it easily fit in the overhead compartment. I also had a...

I think most guitarists play this in C, capo on third fret to get the Eb. Colin James does a very nice version of this song (in E, no capo) You can even hear mandolin in the mix....

..including Tasers. Phasers on stun - probably OK

Still pretty low on the learning curve about mandolins and this forum, so excuse me if this question is misplaced. There is a 1924 F4 advertised in the classifieds, but its serial number, according...

Cayamo 2012 (www.cayamo.com) is coming up in a few weeks. (This is a Carribean cruise with the likes of Richard Thompson, Lyle Lovett, Keb Mo, John Prine, Buddy Miller and about 35 other performers...

A 1732 Stradivarius, owned by UCLA but on loan to a prominent player, was apparently left on the roof of his car in 1967, and lost. 27 years later it was found in the possession of an amateur, who...
