Nope. Nothing beats Spotted Owl beak!

That's my girlfriend's cat and she was not harmed in the taking of this picture...

Mandopete- I sure did get to go inside, and next to the fireplace where they said Bill first heard his Uncle Penn play the fiddle, laid an old mandolin, of which I noodled. It was an incredible experience, only an hour or so north of Nashville. I also took a picture of my wife rocking my littlest one in the same chair that Bill Monroe's mother used to rock him, but for some reason that picture had a huge blur in it and it did'nt come out. We drove on top of Jerusalem Ridge and just looked at the hills (kids were bored at this point). But what made even more special is picking with Cambell Mercer, that was a thrill. Then an older gentlemen pulled up and he said used to play guitar with Bill in the 50's and we got to play a few songs with him.

If you get chance, go and pay homage.

Here I am last Sunday night fulfilling a lifelong dream sharing the stage with Frank Wakefield! What a great experience.

..heres a pic of myself, Brian and my son at BRW Instruments. Thats my son,Ryan with my new(at the time) BRW F5C #20...Brian in the middle with a '23 Loar and me holding a '25 Fern. I also want to add to the Frank Wakefield experience. Frank used to come to town when I was younger. His sister lived in the same town I do..I think she is deceased now. My dad and frank go way back. Frank used to call when he needed a straight man for his shows and he would teach me the harmony parts on some of his tunes. We done many a concert together. Brian can probably tell you many a story on frank also. Frank is truly an American Icon...he should be, along with Red Allen in the Bluegrass Hall of Fame..

I couldn't agree more! Great to see these pictures and hear the stories about Frank. One my friends got to jam with him onstage at a concert a couple of years back. Seems like this is not an uncommon experience. From my perspective, I think it was probably the influence of Frank Wakefield that helped to create what we now call Dawg music

**Scotti Adams** · Mar-27-2003, 4:15pm

..yea before there was Dawg there was Frank. There is also another mando player that alot of people have never heard of and thats Dorsey Harvey...Dave Harvey's dad...now there was a player....him and Frank could really light 'em up when they got together...sadly Dorsey has passed away...Monroe may have pioneered "the" style but Frank and Dorsey blazed the trail

**mandomick** · Mar-29-2003, 1:14pm

Look at that. A '23 Loar, '25 fern, a new BRW and not a s%#t eatin' grin amongst ya! Talk about a jaded crew.<g>

Thanks for the Frank Wakefield story. I've heard of him and it sounds like I ought to check out some of his music.

Here I am with my Spicer...

**Scotti Adams** · Mar-29-2003, 5:05pm

..yea....weve got faces made for radio....lol....we were kinda of clueless....kinda in a daze....didnt know where to start with so many fine mandos laying around

**Ken Sager** · Mar-31-2003, 11:36am

This is me.

**Mando Medic** · Mar-31-2003, 7:40pm

This is really what Pete Goodall looks like. He's a two fisted mandolin player.

**mandopete** · Mar-31-2003, 10:34pm

Okay, back at ya Medic! #Here's one of Ken Cartwright. he's an All American Mandolin Picker!

(sorry 'bout the nose Ken, Photoshop is driving me nuts!)

**Mando Medic** · Mar-31-2003, 11:09pm

Touche Pete; good one. I think you stole that from The OBA site, and that will cost you a one year subscription.

**elenbrandt** · Mar-31-2003, 11:39pm

Her royal frumptitude - sans mandolin..

Takes a lot of grease to get hair looking like this. Not nearly as much (hair) these days...

**neal** · Apr-01-2003, 10:28am

Ellen, you're beeyootiful!

Hmmmmmmm, that kid looks a little too young to be out surfing the 'net all by his lonesome!

Rick -- the Jazz arch-top at http://mywebpages.comcast.net/rjones19/ looks hella cool -- nice work!

**dvatchka** · Apr-02-2003, 9:54pm

Wonder if this will work...

**Rick** · Apr-03-2003, 10:00am

Mad Dog (Jim) -

Thanks for your kind comments. The little thing is a blast to play. I'm looking forward to getting its three siblings completed. They'll hopefully sound even better - and will look a LOT better! I've got some stunning curly maple and Engelmann spruce.

Mad Dawg,
Can you still pick with that splint on your arm?.

**mandopete** · Apr-03-2003, 6:26pm

Now we know why the dawg is peeved! #What happened, an accident or something else?

**Bobbie Dier** · Apr-03-2003, 7:01pm

5 weeks isn't that long . You'll be picking by summer.
Hang in there.
