Sending 70th birthday greetings out to Mike Kemnitzer of Nugget Mandolins today. I'd already owned my first Nugget for two years when the Mandolin Cafe was launched in November of 1995. My first was #159, now owned by a musician in Boston and since 2001 its been #233, ordered by my wife for me the day after we were married. The mandolin, like her, both keepers.
Thanks for making the mandolin that makes me happy every time I pick it up to this day, Mike. Playing it plenty this afternoon. And have a great birthday!
