Still love pickin' mandolin but have devoted this last year almost entirely to the ukulele.
Does your spearmint lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight? Not sure if it is in bad taste but it tastes bad. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Q. Is that a ukulele?

I once heard a story about a man who bought a pretty good mandolin from a barber shop. Often wonder what happened to both. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I didn't have any fire wire handy so I tried some USB cable...wasn't impressed with the sound, kind of dull and tubby, I went back to J75 strings. Thanks alot for nothing....
