What I really like about the mandolin Haiku thread is the conspicous absence of narrative. That said, there are items of prose that I really want to comment on.
I just can't believe that dmarie knows a story of a fiddle found in a ditch. I'm working on a construction project right now and the construction supervisor (fine mandolin player) found a fiddle in a ditch - who would have thought this summer I heard about two such stories (this one in Virginia). He set the sound post, strung it up and played it. That said, the neck twisted and while it still plays is nothing to be too proud of. He says he'll give it to the fatt-dad home for orphen stringed instruments.
That's all I have to say. I'll continue to try my hand at haiku, but if the mods don't mind, every once and awhile I/we can use this thread for related comment.
