I think I may be the person who first suggested Washington's March. I first heard it, and learned it, from Tim O'Brien's rendition of it on "Songs from the Mountain." It's a great old time American...

He looks really happy.

It's not science, It's magic. You have to love it to make it sound good. You have to know it to love it. You have to play it to know it. New strings, body heat, a singing heart, instrument as...

There's another Irish song called "Colcannon" which is pretty much the same as First of May.

Well, at least you know where to find it.

I felt like it was an injustice to the builder for it to be going for so little. I wasn't going to bid it to the moon, but I was willing to go considerably higher than $500 or $600.

I don't think...

Interesting thread. I was the winning bidder. I wasn't looking for a mandolin to buy. Just browsing mandolins on auction. The seller referenced a Cafe thread in his ad. I made the $150 bid assuming...

Also known as Rose Conlee or Rose Conley. The roots of the ballad are very old--- the gist of it is a young man who kills his lover and throws her body in the water-- related to songs called the...

Yes, he's in Albuquerque.

Yeah. I passed on it a couple of times. Then I was kicking myself for not buying that Weber Custom A. Then I looked at it again and spoke to David on the phone. It kind of grew on me and the price...
