Re: pocket mandolin
Thanks, Allen & Jim.
You've told me what I need to know. I did follow a thread about mandolins for camping, travelling, etc. I don't really need one; I just ran across that ad, so I was curious. However, with your advice I'll pass on the "pocket mandolin." I have a Godin A8 and an old banjolin that I'm satisfied with, and have tried out the Seagulls, which are also made by Godin in Quebec. If I decide I need a smaller one, I'll consider the Seagull. However, I am happy with my mandolin and banjolin, and thought I was resistant to MAS, but there I was looking at a third mando. Perhaps I need a "sponsor," as in AA, to call at times like this.

Robert Johnson's mother, describing blues musicians:
"I never did have no trouble with him until he got big enough to be round with bigger boys and off from home. Then he used to follow all these harp blowers, mandoleen (sic) and guitar players."
