Thanks, I am still reeling from it. I had thought that after a month it would be better, but nothing is like losing your father.

hello ransome
I know.. I lost my dad 4 years ago, and I lost my brother ten years ago ( yesterday was the 10th aniversary of his passing) and lost my dear mum only recently on january 12th 2009
you cant expect it to get easier after a month, in fact, for me it only really started after a couple of months, as if all of a sudden I woke up and realised she was really REALLY gone, not visiting my sister in scotland or just gone shopping ..
I still reach for the phone everyday, because I d call her every morning hi mama..how are you today, she was allways happy and positive and she was my very best friend in life, I miss her so much, it takes my breath away sometimes,..
there are good days,..when I don t feel it so much, I m happy doing things with my husband and the kids, enjoying music, etc..but than it hits me when we get home and I want to call her to tell her all about it
in time, it wont be so "sharp" anymore, the edges will fade..and you ll be able to think of your dad with a smile more..and not so much with tears burning in your eyes and heart
for now..just accept the pain, grief is just the price we have to pay for the love we received and gave
it is a high price, but mums and dads are well worth it!
take care!

I took the cigar box mando to Mt. Airy this weekend and had a grand time. Here is a photo of me playing the box and my friend Eric playing the bell mando I built back in 04.

You've got to love the Summer (almost) months of outdoor gigs. This is from last Tues. playing at Wheeling Park's outdoor bandshell. Today (Sunday) we played an afternoon gig at an allday fundraiser then went on to play an evening concert outdoors. The weather was just about perfect.

Sorry to hear about your dad. It's a really hard thing losing your parents. My dad died last year, and my mother died just 10 days later. We had their memorial service together last spring. I am still reeling from the loss. One thing I have found is that it is a long process, that seems to have many layers to it.
Big hugs to you,
Chris

This pic had to post. On a recent (today) trip home from Hamilton, Ontario, where I was the Worst Man at the marriage of Kelly Jay (in the white protest shirt) we ran into two of Kelly's old pals: Officer John, and children's entertainer Fred Penner. The gag was to apply a Taser (cell phone) jolt to Kelly to prepare him for the picture.

I believe that's mandopete, and the gentleman has already requested that he be "left out of this", as he would like to retain the love he has for his coffee-town 'Joe' and his mando (probably why he added it to his name). Now we all need to back off before he gets mad - and nobody want to see that, I'm sure...
... no ... no-no.
Me in the car, yesterday,
When I had just bought my first mandolin :-D
congratulations! long life and happiness to you all ... (you, your car, your mandolin and a long list of future members of the cast...)
It's not my car, it's my dad's :-)
I hope the mandoline will last long, it's not much specials.
It only costed 60 euros, wich is extremely cheap.
At least, the highest string didn't last too long. I tuned it in the shop, I played a little and it broke.
Maybe, someday I'll buy a better one.
But I want to focus on guitar, since I also play guitar.
I play acoustic guitar for almost a year and a half, and electric guitar since almost a year.
Hi Portel,
I see you followed my advice to come to the mandolincafe!
Be warned, you will be infected with MAS here, a lot!!!

From our annual Fathers Day sojurn to the North Beach Festival (this year they tried to throw us off and held it a week early. ). The pictures have no mando content, but Al Fabrizio and Hugo Wainzinger were performing Italian classics on mandolin and guitar, respectively. Plus there was someone performing solo on a Nickleharpa, which I found fascinating. (Sorry, the music-related pics are trapped on my wife's phone, so I'll have to post them later.)

Here's two recent pictures of me and then a picture of the first mandolin I got. It had a problem with it so they let me exchange it for a similar model at the store.
