I was watching this 1944 classic for the umpteenth time, and was finally able to take my eyes off the 19 year old Lauren Bacal long enough to take a look at Hoagy Carmichael's band in a scene shot in the bar of the Hotel Marquis.
He had a mandolin player in his band. Didn't look like a Gibson. Anyone know what brand it was?
The title of this post could well describe the state of my mandolin collection. Geez, only day five of my surgically induced mandolin hiatus. Does it show?
OK not entirely correct, as I'm spending 20 minutes twice a day working on my tremolo. I'm up to 32nd notes at 72 bpm, up from 68. Finding the G to be the hardest string to play.
