    Re: Mandolin setup by Rob Meldrum

    Just got this sent to me by Rob. A fantastic resource! Rob has obviously put a lot of time and effort in to the e-book. Thanx again, Rob!!!

    Re: Hobbies

    Well, lately I've been devoting my free time to cutting enough firewood to get me through the winter (not really a hobby, though, more of a survival thing...).

    Mostly I read anything I can get my...

    Re: New iPad

    Not mandolin related, but I found a free app called "Beatwave". You can make fabulous ambient loops and little electronic tunes on multiple tracks while changing the tempo, the tone, etc. Highly...

    Re: Hauling a bass and mando

    Probably any car will do. For example, my tiny Mazda 2 is like a TARDIS; I've jammed a full drum kit, a mando, two ukuleles, and an acoustic bass (all in hard cases) in there and still had room for...
  9. Re: Pink Floyd with Stephane Grappelli--"Wish You Were Here"

    That was interesting. A lot less "clean" than the album version.
    If I remember correctly, they paid Grappelli 500 pounds even though though they didn't use his work.
    I actually prefer the...

  11. Re: Is your left hand more talented than your right.

    I play ukulele left handed, but play a right handed mando flipped upside down so I can play that left handed,too. With the uke, the fretting hand does all the work, so perhaps I'm having...

    Re: Mama Don't 'low no Old-Time Music Round WIS

    And then the police wonder why the community doesn't support them.

    Where can I get a job like that?

    Re: Instrument in your office

    That's a shame. I think police would improve their image with the general public if foot patrol officers strolled about while playing mandolins and ukuleles.

    How about Joy Division with the late Ian Curtis? I'm not a huge fan, but I've heard that they put on some killer shows.

    Captain Beefheart, of course.

    I'd rather see the "post-madness" Barrett, myself. Much more interesting songs, IMO.

    Re: Plectrum poetry

    "What are you doing?" my wife said
    'Cause I had my mando in bed
    I was fingerin' the strings
    (and some other things)
    So now I'm no longer wed.

    I'll make the first mention of The Hardest Working Man In Show Business, The Godfather Of Soul, none other than the legendary, the fabulous, James Brown!!
