Look at that fresh faced kid.
Saw Mike Marshall with Edgar Meyer years ago. I wish my 65 year old ears could hear it again.
Changed my practice, repertoire and life.
Congratulations! How exciting. I just moved myself from a June 2024 build to the back of the queue. Looks like several lucky folks moved up a notch.
Recently purchased a Tacoma M3, 1998. Doesn't sound like anything else but it's in great shape, plays well and is a good addition to my stable.
I so hope the mandolin tasting remains a regular part of camp.
Congratulations!
Got a summer home in Indian River. Any get togethers in the top of the lower peninsula this summer?
The poor guy is a lightning rod for criticism. The bluegrass purists hated his "shredding", now some folks wish he would play MORE notes. And now Nickel Creek isn't Nickel Creek enough? Sometimes,...
The most smiling I've ever seen from Noam Pikelny.
Got mine two weeks ago. Cold Quarters and Village Road are great places to start. Also preserved that autographed post-it note from Matt for posterity. As someone that has had difficulty learning by...
I've had lots of great instructors at Monroe Mandolin Camp but I learned (or retained) more from Caleb than anyone else. I hope the Foghorns make it to the Black Swamp Art Festival this year.
I was waiting for the Apitius mandolin suggestion. My dream mandolin.
After seeing Bela Fleck in Detroit last month and trying to support artists via the merchandise table I picked up hit Flecktune heart shaped tuner. Already had the album, didn't want a poster. It...
So many instructors, so many different styles of teaching. You are bound to find several instructors that you'll return to repeatedly. And with so many classes you'll have ample opportunity to work...
I'll be in Milan in mid May and have contacted him to arrange a visit to his workshop. Outside of the language barrier it will be the highlight of my visit to Northern Italy. (Don't tell my wife,...
The Skaggs/Rice album is essential. The songs aren't hard driving bluegrass so it may be easier to attempt to play along.
Years ago, after watching a performance with Edgar Meyer and Mike, I stood in line for MM to autograph my MM instructional booklet. After asking if I played, Mike asked me what I played. I mumbled...
If you haven't tried listening to Danilo Brito, you should. His bandolim playing is incredible. Sorry, not savvy enough to include a sample.
So sorry I was unable to attend this year. If anyone cares to share some of their highlights from 2021 MMC I'll be happy to read about them.
Watching Rhapsody in Blue. The Gershwin biopic. Just saw someone playing what appeared to be a Lyon and Healy during"Somebody Loves Me". At the end of the solo he just slid it across the floor!!...
Recently purchased a 315 from a user who decided to switch to an Octave. As with my step into mandolins 25 years ago, I needed to step into a new instrument without spending thousands. I'm very happy...
My Old Wave is my favorite. I may buy one of his octaves someday.
A receipt from the original owner's purchase from Elderly, a Big Boy keychain they left there and a penny matching the year of manufacture. And the usual, needle nose pliers, picks, humidifier....
I ordered this from Andrew's website about a month ago. Does anyone know if it's unusual to wait that long for a CD? Sorry, not a streaming guy.
