Thread: Taking your Mandolin for a walk...

    In preparation for acting like a minstrel at the renaissance fair, I took my mandolin to work for a few weeks. On breaks, I'd go out back and practice walking, playing, and singing, and since the fairgrounds are only level in spots, also went up and down the stairs while doing so.
    I used my Rogue for this activity, so if the worst happened, it wouldn't have been a tragedy.

    I walk about and play my mandolin a lot! Just in the yard and such, but I do it!

    If it's not a tragedy, then it's not the worst that can happen. You could break your left-hand wrist and never play again, for instance.

    Kind of a good indicator as to if I really know a tune. That brain division thing, like singing and playing.
    I suggest leaving the tab at home. That just looks like a wreck waiting to happen.

    Well, I didn't mean the literal absolute worst, I mean, a bit could fall off a passing plane and squish me flat, too :D

    I took my old Kay mandolin for a walk.

    It peed on the neighbor's roses.

    Well, I blame the Kay.

    Today’s walk involves swinging.

    Of course you know that these swings are made for the weight of one person. I guess that's why you didn't place the mandolin under the swing
