    Sadly at this point, my playing...

    Re: How Many Gibson Mandobasses are there?!

    You know, I live for this kind of truly obscure information!!
  4. Re: Could I leave mando in car in winter while skiing?

  19. Re: Has anyone heard about a crazy mandolinist named Frank Wakefi

    Frank’s looking his age more than he used to, his right hand is looking pretty “arthritic” I’m sorry to say. Many hours I’ve listened to his “unique” style. His early powerhouse sound with Red Allen...
