    I just had a photo taken for a gig flyer so I thought I'd share it.

    Not exactly a picture of myself, but here's my 4 year old playing a cookie tin mandolin I made for him. For some reason he insists playing lefty even though he is right handed...

    Arnt, That picture is priceless! I doubt that I look that intent when practicing; thanks for sharing it with us.

    Jason I can't imagine Arnt ordering anything but maybe hardware and wood. He makes some beautiful mandolins and guitars.

    Man, this thread is getting dangerously close to 100 pages!

    Had a really fun jam session last weekend. Our good friend Rolf Johaneson (seated left) has been going through some tough times and we thought a little bluegrass would help him out. This was a really fun jam for me as I got to play some "traditional" bluegrass with some fantastic players.

    Left to right - Me (and the Collings MF-5), Sharon Messina on bass (she used to play with the great NW bluegrass band called Crossfire), Gary Olson on guitar (this guy knows more bluegrass songs than anyone I know), Steve Bickle on fiddle (he used to be in Crossfire and City Limits and he really cooks on fiddle) and Harley Bray on banjo (you know, The Bray Brothers).

    Playing with Harley was quite an honor for me. As a mandolin player in bluegrass it's a blast to get to play with such a fine banjo player, like a great drummer in a rock band.

    Hi Jason, no I don't have a web site yet. I post pictures of some of my instruments on various instrument builder forums from time to time, I'm guessing that's where Bill have seen them (thanks for the compliment, BTW!). I have some pictures of a guitar bouzouki over in the "CBOM" section of this forum now, check it out.

    That is a really nice looking zouk. I especially like the inlay!

    Great photos all! I thought, since its been several years since I posted a picture (and that with the Kentucky!) I should give it another go. Here's me and a friend playing in the badlands of Alberta.

    If I am not getting Arnt mixed up with someone else the first mandolin of his I saw pictures of was made from old material out of a house he was living in. The top and back were several pieces each but it looked good.

    Bill, I can't believe you remember that old mando it's what, 5 years? old now. Luckily most houses up here are made of spruce, picea abies. My house was built in 1937, made from wood logged right at the site, and several rebuilding projects have left me with a lifetime supply of bracing material. That mando was made with spruce and maple pieces from the redecorating scrap bin; a truly home made project <sorry about the lame pun >.

    Hey Arnt, thats the WABI SABI attitude, right?

    I'd much rather have an instrument made from salvaged wood with a story than kill a new tree.......

    Martin, I usually buy my wood from tone wood vendors, so I am probably as guilty as the next guy for killing trees for instruments. I wish it was easier to obtain quality woods locally though, we have lots of wood up here but finding good pieces that are large enough for instruments is rare.

    I had to go to Wikipedia to see what WABI SABI was all about. Here is what I found: "It (wabi-sabi) nurtures all that is authentic by acknowledging three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect." I guess that pretty much sums up my how I feel about my instruments, so in a way you are right!

    Hey, this thread is about posting pictures of yourself playing, right? I am not much a mandolin player, but I have played guitar for most of my life. Here is an old one from a crazy rockabilly band I was in; we had several of these projected on the wall behind the stage when we played. I'm "Dusty" in the picture, but these days I should probably be "Rusty"!

    Arnt, I thought that was ol' Roy Orbison for a minute! My old eyes must be failing me again. Would you be willing to post pictures of your mandolins for us on occasion?

    Well, since I had a chance at being first post of page 100, I figured I'd better dig for a presentable pic of my self and band. Here's us a summer or two ago in Minneapolis.

    Hey Fred, I think I saw you all years ago when I was living in St. Paul. Did you ever play the MN Bleugrass Festival up nort of Minneapolis? I remember seeing The Wilders (great, great show) and the Front Porch Swingin' Liquor Pigs which reminds me of The Whistle Pigs.

    Hey MN John:

    Are you talking about the Lakes BG Fest in Bemidji? If so, yes--we did it a couple years running. If you mean the MBOTMA fest they used to hold near Elk River (now moved SW of Saint Cloud), then that wasn't us. We just did that one for the first time last August.

    Problem is, I don't remember being part of the same billing as The Wilders and the FPSLP's

    English pint glass, but regrettably a pint of Lager. I must have been suffering a temporary lapse of reason

    Hey, there's nothing wrong with the occasional pint of Lager. After all, you can't always be drinking Trappist Rochefort...At least I don't think you can.
