Tom Wright, You are the man! Gonna give this one a go and hope I can come close to your GREAT version. Thanks for re posting.

Years ago I watched a video on the Cafe that showed someone with a mandolin covering Hot Rod Lincoln. Can’t find it anywhere. Anybody know how to locate it? Would love to learn it.

I bought a Gretsch Park Avenue F with oval hole and electronics a few years back. Love it. Great tone and playability, and it is loud. All solid wood, excellent craftsmanship, especially for a...

I would never buy an Ibanez having had a bad experience with one a few years back that Was an F model with a solid top and laminate sides and back. Horrible, thudding dull sound with no tone or...

I play a lot of 70’s era “Rock,” Beatles,
America, Cat Stevens, Elton John, Dan Fogelberg, James Taylor, and especially Seals and Crofts. Early S&C got me hooked on the mandolin. Dash Crofts...

I think of Seals and Crofts in the 70’s as introducing the mandolin in “Soft rock” music as pioneers. Dash Croft’s use of the mandolin is downright amazing, especially in the early albums. I also...

I have a Gretchen Park Avenue oval hole F model which I love, but I don’t think they are being made. It’s loud but perhaps not so mellow. I also have an oval hole A Eastman, which practically plays...

That would be fantastic ahmandolin. Looking forward to your post. Thank you!

Seals and Crofts- Wayland the Rabbit. Jimmy’s nod to his dad. Off the Ill Play For You album.

Oh Very Young- Cat Stevens.

I love James Taylor’s Enough To Be On Your Way. Great song!

If I’m not mistaken there is a YouTube tutorial for this song. Also for Copperhead Road.

Not sure what there is to dislike about John's mandolin player. Seems like a great accompanist in the video clip. More importantly, best I've heard John sing in years. Prime is a national treasure.

Chordie and Chordify.

Just read that Dylan lifted much of this "Lecture" from Cliff Notes or some such source. I found it painful to listen to and can't imagine anything so incoherent coming from such a reputable source....

Wow, Got that right. Not for me! I do love the girl in the modified Berka on the computer. That's about it.

Love the song, ( like all his catalog ). A lot of his songs' tabs are on Chordie.com. BTW, just saw him in Nashville for the Cat's Attic tour. Amazing! Sings and plays with the passion and...

In addition to those rock acts mentioned already, I would add Davey Johnson on Elton John's Holiday Inn, and Mona Lisa and Mad Hatters, ( and possibly other EJ songs), as well as my fav, Dash Crofts...

I bought an Ibanez F style with a solid top and it played awful. Gave it away. Thuddy, awful sunburst finish, nut cut incorrectly, I could go on. Run away from Ibanez!

bizarre.

50 years from now people will say Paul McCartney was playing in my space pod last night. They will have NO idea who Kanye West was.

Dash was my inspiration also. Saw S&C a lot. Wrote him a fan letter after he released Dash Crofts Today @ 10 yrs. ago and he was kind enough to write back. I've learned a lot of his music, and...

Tried reading his autobiography. No three sentences combined to make any sentence. a shame what happened to his voice. Someone should tell him to stop touring and recording and let the legacy live...

Didn't see "Holiday Inn" an early Elton John song with a nice mandolin solo. Also, Dash Crofts of Seals and Crofts did a LOT of mandolin work in the 70's, The first 4 albums especially were very...

Great pickin Tom, thanks for the inspiration!!!
