I've wracked my skull, but I can't think of anything humerus.
That guy was at my last jam !
I really need to find a younger group.
No matter where I go, there I am...Unless I'm running a little late.
For my next tune, I'm going to play "Wayfaring Stranger"
A quarter tone flat and a half a beat behind.
"For my next tune, Boneypart's Retreat..."

Ya'll can keep the fancy f-styles. I have always preferred the bare bones models myself.

Is this thing starting to open up, or is it just me?

Mandolin speaking: "Alas, poor Crookedbridge! I knew him, Loyd; a fellow of infinite mandolin picks, of most excellent right hand technique; he hath borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my sound chamber it is! My tremolo rises at it. Here hung those fingertips that I have kissed I know not how oft. Where be your fiddle tunes now? Your jigs? Your reels? Your flashes of Monroe-esque arpeggios, that were wont to set the G and D strings on a roar?"

They said, learn an instrument; girls love musicians. I'm still waiting ...

Music speaks to us all. And to each of us, she speaks with a different voice.

I came from Alabama with my mando on my knee....
No tone guard needed on my mando!!
I'd straighten out the bridge but I just can't find the strength.
Saving money for an upgrade, THEN I'll start practising.

"Check out this tune I wrote. Mind you, it's just the bare-bones melody, I'll add some meat to it later."
Some folks would rather play than eat!!
