I think there is a country a d western tune called”if there ain’t Morgan David in heaven, who the hell wants to go?”

I haven’t been on this forum for quite some time. This reflects the fact that I’ve been neglecting my beautiful Mandolin also. I’m determined to gain some facility on the fiddle but it’s taking a lot...

I saw Tommy Emmanuel live a few years back. He said that the first thing he does when he gets a new Maton is scratch it up.

I have two blue chips. The funny thing is, I couldn’t get them to make my new 2 point sound good. I looked in my old pic collection and pulled out a thin flexible 25 cent pic and it sounded great!...

I’ve found myself stuck in the intermediate phase of my mando playing. I think it’s a problem for teachers as well as students. They know how to teach a beginner, and advance students are a dream. I...

Fiddle is indeed a jealous mistress. The time it takes to sound good on that thing, has eaten up most of my mando time

This might be another beating a cafe dead horse, but I’m finding that I want to play in the exact spot that is otherwise occupied by frets I will never use. This apparently doesn’t bother most...

Where are you located now?

Agree. It was almost 4 months before I was out of the screeching stage. But really, the fiddlers can be the stars of the show.

When I bought my Collings wide nut, I thought it was the right thing, but I could never play a comfortable G chop on it.(I have long fingers too) Now that I have a narrower neck C#, I feel more...

Ha! Yeah, just give a few more months to master the fiddle, then......we’ll see

The funny thing is, I came to the camp with a thinly disguised dislike for the banjo. However, one of the teachers did a short history of the instrument with 6 historical and reproduced ones on...

I just want to thanks all the folks at Levelland TX for putting on a great camp. Steve Smith and Roland White were very inspiring teachers. The best we’re the faculty concerts every night. I’m going...

Nice. That’s why I took up the fiddle too

Yes, I just discovered the plant the pinky thing and I’ve been playing for awhile. Thanks

The folks in the Facebook mandolin players group shared this video. I love it

You are are very talented. Nice sky painting.

He did tell me a funny story. He makes fake labels and puts them into old double bass instruments He cannibalizes. He stuck one label that said in Italian: made by Alfredo Fetuccini. Showed it to a...

I personally don’t know him but when I was a working potter, there was and still is a craftsmen’s organization that everyone contributed to that specifically dealt with such tragedies. The Craftsmen...

Ha! That F5 next to him is available. I was going to buy it but the two point was better

I just wanted to give a shout out to Mr Bill Bussmann for building my new two point. Hes a fine man and excellent craftsman

Totally agree. I wouldn’t want a Northfield smelling like a cigar. But.... some like it.
