    Re: Hello All!

    I haven't yet; I'm busy with Monadnock Chorus which claims my Wednesday evenings except through the summer. I do enjoy playing with Randy Miller when I can, and still lament the demise of the...

    Re: Hello All!

    Fear not, I'm aware these are all closed gigs and I'm not looking to wangle my way in. And now I realize you're talking about a recurring Thursday event for yourself, not the fourth-Tuesday Celtic...

    Re: Hello All!

    Hey again, Garrett. I know the Birchwood Inn thing, though I haven't been over for a while. Their website still says the Celtic is on the fourth Tuesday. Do they need to update that? Thanks, and...

    Hello again, Garrett. I believe the cello player you mention is David Duhon, who plays with "Grove Street", including a weekly slot at the Bagel Mill. He introduced himself to me during one of my...

    Hello, Garrett. I'm not far from you, in Greenfield, just the other side of Peterborough. Hopefully our paths will cross sometime. My repertoire is mostly Celtic; I have (what I'm pleased to call)...

    Shaskeen Pub in Manchester NH

    Their website says nothing about any regular session, though The Session assures me there is still one on Saturday afternoons. Can anyone speak to what this session is like? Crowded, high-tempo,...

    Re: Help me spend $10k

    There's a Campanella two-point at Elderly right now, well under your budget; and a nice F5 at the Music Emporium, for just a tad over. -- Paul
  10. Re: Why do some higher end mandos return to the market so quickly

    Consider: on-line advertising, credit cards, ordering on-line or by phone, free shipping one-way; and if you live some distance from the retailer, the urgency to try an instrument before it gets...

    Re: Irish tune for mandola tuned DAEB

    Dave, there are plenty of D tunes which one can play just on the high (DAE) strings of a mandolin, which you can just as well work out on the low (DAE) strings of the mandola as you have re-tuned it....

    I've been away a few years, but Radio Bean is apparently still in business. Campanella Acquisition Syndrome is especially intense in Burlington, home of Joe Campanella Cleary. -- Paul

    Re: Paddy Fahy's No. 6 (jig)

    This is terrific, I'll have to try it out on mandolin and mandola.

    Well, I'm gobsmacked!

    For years I thought all I needed to know was EJ-74 for any of my mandolins, old or new: Rigels, Lyon & Healy, vintage Gibsons, custom Campanella, some I won't recall until...

    Re: Road Trip IV - Music Emporium

    Hi, Mary,
