Howdy Alan. Yep hard to find one person out of 20,000. I and the missus did a lot of walking, and got to see who we went to see. I completely missed the vendors inside the convention center, one of...
I've got a great doc who knows his business. Have not talked to him about this yet but will soon. And as far as the meds, I have to take them or I'm putting my life on the line fast. I have a weird...
Mr. Dave Harvey knows what he's doing. A superb luthier.
I'm 58, have osteoporosis, arthritis, and take 17 meds per day for these and other heart problems, and other health issues. I know age has some to do with this, but as I used to be able to play with...
I was thinking about taking my mandolin with me during the last of August through the first week of September when my wife and I visited our oldest son in California, but I didn't because of the...
....yep...very true.....my first time in our capitol city.....I was impressed.....only other member of my family that was ever there was one of my cousins....he visited the courthouse by invitation...
Raleigh, North Carolina, good news, the IBMA is going to be held there for AT LEAST ! the next three years !!!!!! And I'd like to say this, after hearing Doyle Lawson and Quiksilver, who I have seen...
Yep, I know, but I think his middle name was Lee.
Back in the early '80's I had one made out of some kind of stone. It sounded pretty dang good. There was a small 'fad' of that going on around in the mandolin/guitar pickers in the Bluegrass world. I...
Good. I also had Mr. Harvey reset the neck and a few other little things on my mandolin, not a Master Model, but the lowly F5 Jam-Master. I shipped it to Gibson in April of this year, and received it...
Yep, her and her help-mate Stoney Lee.
I made one out of walnut once. It really looked great. It performed terrible. Dead as a door-nail.
Yep. As to which recording I can't say. I only heard it once at the Blue Ridge outdoor stage when he was there. The reason I don't know about the recording is because I don't have any cd's, records...
Always heard it went ..." well he ain't much of a mandolin picker but he holds on too one the best I ever seen ".....I've heard a bunch of 'quotes' over the years that folks heard Lester, Bill,...
On this tune which key do most of ya'll pick it in ? I can pick it in either B or A, but prefer it in A, I think it sounds better in that chord.
I remember you Laura. I and the missus will keep a lookout for you. I'll probably be wearing a Tractor Supply cap or some such. You can take the boy out of the country, but you can't take the country...
I once worked with a fellow that went to school with Scaggs. He said of course that Ricky won every talent show that the schools had, and that when Ricky was a young teen-ager when the time came for...
All very interesting answers. And once again I realize that folks that know me are right, I'm thinking and that is a dangerous road for me to travel. I understood some of the info shared here, but...
After reading another thread about best mandolin for a certain cost, some of the comments in it and other threads I've read on here got me to thinking { a lot of folks think that is a dangerous thing...
AlanN, appreciate your compliments. And I realized after I posted about this that there is one more member of the Café I have met, that would be pickloser.
I was at Galax in '09 and played with a...
Had a short visit from a Café member on Sat. am. AlanN dropped by on his way to Galax. Enjoyed picking a little with him and talking mandos. Got a great sounding Gill there Alan, good picking also....
Again thanks everybody for all the info. I do have osteo-arthritus. Also taking massive amount of vitamin D. Have been playing now for some time with a lowered action on a radius fretboard. I am...
Thanks. I'll try this.
Thanks for the input. But I have to say I was hoping to see a miracle cure. I think since I've been disabled in 2006 I have lost much of my strength. I was a carpenter and when I worked I had good...
