Post A Picture Of Yourself

This is me giving Big Mon a big ole hug at Butch Baldassari's workshop in Nashville. He played Wayfaring Stranger like he meant it. I had to choke back a tear.

Great pic, Ima -- it looks like Bill had no intenetion of letting you go! #(And thanks for the encouraging words.)

Pete -- I severed both flexor tendons in my left pinky in a kitchen accident last January. #3 operations later, I now have about 85% of my original range of motion, but hopefully that's enough. #(We'll see in 5 weeks.)

But enough about me -- More pics please!

First picture is one of mine , there is 50 years ago , asking
to myself , must I go or NOT

**french guy** · Apr-04-2003, 6:30am

And this one is the result of the ultime decision

**mandodude** · Apr-04-2003, 9:12am

Hey french guy!

Who's the guy next to you in the first pic???

**french guy** · Apr-04-2003, 9:24am

an unhappy competitor, Mandodude

**french guy** · Apr-04-2003, 9:27am

if I remember exactly ,
he said to me "after you", coarse error

**JanJan** · Apr-04-2003, 12:27pm

Hey French Guy, I don't suppose you have an older brother living in Massachusetts, do you? Ooo-la-lah!!

**mandodude** · Apr-04-2003, 12:38pm

Hey, JanJan!

I think that's his brother with him in the first pic... he would've had to have been one helluva swimmer to have made it to Massachusetts, though...

;-)

Man, I never knew cooking was so dangerous. #If I had known that #I would have pulled that "recipes" thread from the Internet Cafe sooner!

Get well soon and get to pickin'

BTW - Am I the only person who thinks French Guy bears more than a passing resemblance to George Harrison? (not in his first picture though).

**SlowHands** · Apr-04-2003, 9:57pm

Hey, JanJan -
I live in Massachusetts and I'm twice the man French Guy is. No. Really. I've gotta weigh twice what he weighs...

**Chuck** · Apr-05-2003, 11:16am

First time I've tried to post an image, wonder if it will work. This is a great way to relax and unwind.

**Chuck** · Apr-05-2003, 11:17am

Oh well!

**Mando Medic** · Apr-06-2003, 1:43pm

French Guy, I gotta say this before someone else does. I see the resemblence, but there must have been a gene defect. I could swear that's a guitar in your hand? Very cute!

**french guy** · Apr-07-2003, 1:39am

Hey , Mando Medic , nobody's perfect , but I make an effort there, and in first I work hard the mandolin.

Hey JanJan , it's because I'm naked in the first pic, that you say ... oooo-la-lah ? ? ? ?

**zeke** · Apr-07-2003, 8:47pm

Ok, let's see if this works.....

Looks like it will. This is a promo photo for our band (Moonlight Hoodoo Revue). I'm not the French guy, but at least I'm holding a mando.....

Hey, none of us are!

Come on folks, there must be a few other stragglers out there in mando-land who don't have the guts yet to post a picture!

Ok, here's me - no mando though!

**mandodude** · Apr-08-2003, 8:35am

Hey, Zeke!

Are those other guys all small, or are you jus' one BIG mando-player??!?

WHOA!

**Jim Hilburn** · Apr-08-2003, 9:14am

Zeke is definitely a man to be looked up to!

I've spent some time putting together this collection of circa 1910 Gibsons. I've alway liked the black top Gibsons and once I got the fever, I decided to put together. My wife has been very patient.

1906 A4 mandolin
1908 F2 3 point mandolin
1911 h2 mandola
1913 h4 mandola
1914 k2 mandocello
1915 style O guitar
1913 style U harp guitar

This collection will be on display during the month of May in a gallery at The Rome Arts Center, Rome NY. Stop out to see this part of Americana.

**Django Fret** · Apr-08-2003, 10:47am

That sure is one nice collection!

It looks to me like you have an enviable combination of an understanding wife and a gorgeous group of Gibsons.

I'm sure all roads will lead to Rome to see these.
