This whole thread is cool. Music is great.

Thank you for that! Very nice performance.
I have always wanted to try a Sawchyn.

Welcome! I love Bill Monroe, therefore I love Mike Compton. But I agree with jaycat above:

If you learn all the Monroe stuff, you'll be real good at playing all the Monroe stuff.

I have a story...

I traveled from South Carolina to in-laws in Illinois, to pick up my wife and kids. I had really been wanting to pass through Rosine. So I visited the cemetery at 12:30 a.m. I...

First, welcome to the cafe. I'm with you on the quality leap thing. I have noticed that as I improve, I can make an eastman sound better than I used to, if you know what I mean.

I see many good...

The next person to do this may be close to you. Be an encourager!

The right word spoken at the right time is as beautiful as gold apples in a silver bowl.

If y'all feel comfortable, I know every place is different, but please go meet your neighbors. Don't wait for them to do it.

Welcome to the forum and play the heck out of it ironscott!

I sent you a PM.
I was looking at his builds too but I have not heard a review.

Maybe there is a suburb most of you hail from?, those are pretty trendy to work into a name.

I don't know what those towns mean to a local, but once you are worldwide...

OldSausage, Thanks for posting Steffey and Roberts. That was the first thing I thought of. I would give my left pinkie to play like Steffey. But Compton uses his all the time, so I press on ...

Mark, I printed it and played it last night. I appreciate the song, first off. This style of song is not what I try, so I'm learning something new. It has some crosspicking, some chord melody,...

I love this! What a song, and played in a joyful manner.
Wish I lived in Texas, Mark.

Stubs, were you working on that project and have been sent home? Hope you have some work lined up somewhere else, if so.

Can someone give a review of this event (Doko) when it's over? I would...

Love it. Thank you for the music, Macambira.

And more generally, everyone has something special to share, even the "unknown" folks closest to us.

Welcome.
Mandolinally, I do not strum chords too much. I can't play the guitar, but when I strum G, C, D chords on a guitar it almost hypnotizes me. I imagine it's like David playing the harp...

I received strings in the mail yesterday, Oct. 31. I changed addresses since signing up to test, but they finally arrived.

"I gave up really before trying very hard"

I have been playing about the same amount of time as you. When I started, I had trouble making clean chords. I just slowed down and practiced them...

I would like to second that recommendation. I was on the very back row in the balcony! I did not catch a pick.
What was Mr. Vestal playing for that song, was it a synthesizer? Sounded like a pipe...

I like billkilpatrick.

Pasta Fazool, that is beans, right? Pasta and beans?

Hank,

Don't ever EVER quote something off the internet.
Abe Lincoln told me that.

Love,

I listened to the first 6 tracks and track 12 all the way through. I just sampled the rest. I like the songs, there is surely a variety. I feel like someone into blues/funk is better to comment on...

Those points! The tuners ain't bad, either.

Bachnr,

Did you get a June Mandolin? I'm near Charleston, and I have June #58. I haven't played many Gibsons, but my June is worth double what I paid Mr. Johnson. Now I want a June F
