Looks like snow. Back in the 80's I had a regular gig at a bar in Big Bear and used to commute every day from L.A. What Fun!

That's a Performer? Looks more like an Artist with the inlay on the headstock and full binding. I have a 1995 F5-SB.

I've always wanted to hear one of Bill's Fs. Looks like that one is getting that great aged look.

Well you can get a good listen here:

David previously owned this mandolin and recorded his Midnight from Memphis project with it.

I actually have that whole album as MP3s and never knew it was an Old Wave. Thought that was his Gill. Nice mojo on that one.

I just picked up STOMP with Mike Compton yesterday. Do you know what mandos they (David and Mike) used on that one?

**Fred Keller** · Dec-01-2008, 11:00am

The mandolins were Gilchrists--F5's. Mike plays Black's Run on an "octave banjo mandolin." I believe that was Grisman's. Mike also plays a mandola, octave mandola, and guitar.

Don't know if it's the same one but I think the last 'dola I saw Mike with was a Duff (he also said he was thinking of selling it). Couldn't tell you the make of the octave.

Mike told me his guitar was a parlor or 000 model, about 80 years old or more...maybe a Washburn? Can't recall. I don't know if Mike used his own guitar or borrowed one of Grisman's.

I'm sure others know more than I

Well, our instrumentation goes like this... (all accoustic) Guitar, mando, banjo, standup, dobro, 2 saxs (technically saxes are not in the brass family, but it sounds better than woodwindgrassers haha) and a pared down kit. Some bluegrass, but really songwriter oriented so only a few standards here and there. Bottom line it's rowdy and fun. Can you upload MP3's?

Check out Wheel 'N Oke, we slapped wheel haus and Roanoke together and wrote a horn line to it. It's not me on mandolin on that song as we switch it up quite a bit, but it is a prime example of "brassgrass".

Me and my National RM-1 (purchased today)

Allrighty, the wonderful Scott has added a great new feature here on Cafe in which we can embed links to UToob videos.

Here's one of me a couple of years ago at an open mic at the Chilliwack Bluegrass festival. I was invited to play with one of the "first family" members of the Darrington Bluegrass familiy, Bertha Whiteside (FKA Bertha Nations) and her husband Otis.

Looks like I didn't get the memo about the dress code

We palyed a gig in the "Theater der Nacht". It's a theater, but they perform using puppets of various dimensions.
Here are a few photos from that evening.
