Thanks for the advice. At this point, am playing mandolin (or OM) in 2 bands. It's as my mentor has told me, everyone knows me as a guitarist. He (and my main band) are trying to get me more established as someone would can also play mandolin. At least in the Scandinavian music world, it's an easier task. Only been doing this style of music for about 6 years. While I've been known as a guitarist in the old-time community for 20 years. And that's where I'm having more difficulty making headway as a mandolin player. Well, that and the fact that I'm not practicing old-time tunes on mandolin very much. Really concentrating on other styles.

And here I am spending time on-line when I should be practicing.
