Hi everyone. I haven’t posted much in a while. I sold my house in New Jersey this summer and spent months driving all over the USA, both for fun and to decide where to move to. Two weeks ago we moved into an apartment in NW portland, Oregon, right next to Forest Park. Anyway, I have been concentrating on tenor guitar and fiddle for a while and had sold my mandolins a while back. Yesterday I ordered a new mandolin and should have it in a couple of days. I can’t wait. My wife and I are now retired and I should have a ton of time to play both tenor and mandolin. I’m not yet sure about playing fiddle in the apartment. We live right next to about eighty miles of trails. My son and I are avid hikers, cyclists and climbers, and Portland is an ideal location. I need to get hooked in to the acoustic music scene here, but it looks promising. After crossing the country several times in several months it is so nice to not have to drive, we walk and cycle everywhere, pretty much. I’ve been missing having a mandolin. I hope it makes it here before the weekend, but probably not.
