  1. Re: Well done, legit, full band bluegrass backing tracks

    Several? There are dozens! :disbelief: I'm at the library now so I can't listen, but I will later. Maybe I'll be able to step up my game and have something different to bring to the monthly bluegrass...

    Re: Whiskey barrel octave mandolin

    Might work as an electric. Might. Wood's way too thick for any decent acoustic music production. And there's still the intonation. :whistling: Fashion a whammy bar out of a keg pull and off you go!...

    Re: Random mandolin sightings

    Oh, I dunno. It doesn't sound that bad to me, though I'm fine with olives, no wish to change. I also like an olive or two in a Bloody Mary, along with lots of other stuff. ;) But I'm not much for...

    Re: Random mandolin sightings

    OK, technically, this is not a mandolin sighting, but a Gibson sighting. Also technically, it's not a Gibson mandolin sighting - I just didn't know where else to put this, and it sure didn't seem to...

    Re: Roni Stoneman R.I.P.

    Yes, I saw somewhere in my reading up on her and her family, that they were there at the very start of country music - Jimmie Rodgers, The Carter Family, and The Stoneman Family. I didn't know that,...

    Um, yeah, you tuned your what which way? :confused:
  10. Re: Most tunes I post to YouTube are 65+ years old

    No are you try to avoid telling us that you realize you misspoke? :confused: There's no reason to be ashamed, other than for being maybe a bit too self-important to admit to being what everyone is -...
  11. Re: Most tunes I post to YouTube are 65+ years old

    Ha ha ha! Yes, this. And that music was revolutionary in its time. Still is, in some ways, even now. I remember what got called "oldies" in the 60s - much of it was doo-wop, from just ten years or so...

    Re: Thoughts on keys.

    While I do agree generally with most of what you've said (and most of what everyone else has said), I aver, sir, that there is indeed some middle ground, some room for adjustment. Many is the time...

    Re: Thoughts on keys.

    It is indeed a very good thing to learn how to play in all keys, not just the ones you like, not only because it's good to know how to play your instrument as fully as possible, but also because you...

    Yes, agreed. Some of my happy songs are rather silly. Which is not to say that humor can't infuse serious or cynical or satirical songs - it can, indeed, and quite effectively - but being silly may...

    :confused: It's just an ad. The functioning part of the stamp is the word FOREVER. If it were a denominational stamp the number would be disfigured. Same difference.

    No Goodwills in the Keys AFAIK, only Salvation Army. Rare to see instruments at any of them, and then usually guitars, not very good ones. One time my local Sally Ann had a mandolin case - quite a...
