Hogan's are a steal:)

All 3 world class plus..thanks!

For the life of me I can't remember the title of this song. I would like to learn it. I am hoping a cafe member will be able to...

Do tell, Josh?

Thank you Evan, for posting those photos. And, thanks Glassweb it is more mandolin than I will ever need. Plays very nicely and has wonderful tone. Mr. Halsey is a master. Here is a mellow recording...

I haven't been on the Cafe much lately. It's a great community and a heck of a resource. About a year and a half ago I was fortunate to hear what I considered to be one of the best sounding F5's in...
