My last band. I'm on guitar on far right. That was a trial gig with new material. Mostly acoustic rock. I usually dont use the music stand anymore and I play with totally different folks now. No drummer anymore but we do have a cajon or djembe sit in a lot. I dont like drum kits but I must say our drummer in that band was great because she had a soft touch and good vocals.
No matter where I go, there I am...Unless I'm running a little late.
OK I think I have posted this pic before, and ofcourse this pic was taken maybe 40-45 years ago...

Hey everyone!
Longtime fan of the cafe here, just introducing myself and thought this would be the best way to get started! I'm the guy on the left in the photo, taken when myself and a couple friends were asked to play at a friends wedding. Not sure when this photo was taken during the day, mostly because I really don't know why I'm holding my mando like that... I've also since replaced that Fender with a Loar LM-400 my fiance bought for me (they're both keepers, for sure). Looking forward to joining the conversation!
Welcome to the Cafe! Glad to see the mandolinist is the sharpest dresser - as it should be.
And great pic, mee. Just great!

Here are a couple of pretty good videos of my band. (People shoot us all the time, but the few that get posted are often poor quality and incomplete.) The first is from just a few weeks ago; the second is from last year. I get to take a couple of decent rides on the first one; in the second I also get to show my skills on the blues harp. The first is pretty much what we sound like; the second was, well, a bit compromised, accommodating the piano player (since departed from the ensemble).
Hmmm ... Guess this is the wrong thread. Oh well! Enjoy, anyway!

Sorry, no mandolin content, had to hold down the fort between the two banjos . . .

A pic of part of the process of how your soundboards are recovered out of a log.
This is actually my Wife Annette dissecting a sitka round into re-sawable block. The tools are 2 froes, 2 -10" plastic fallers wedges and 1- 8 pound aluminum mallet. The heart block, is what we refer to as bonus block.
The round is "Read" very critically to determine where the splits will be made for Quality, grade and recovery.
I found this thread searching for how to upload a profile pic. Now I will continue that search, to find the answer to that question.
Here's me, recording from last weekend with the Temple Mandolin No. 000. My first build.
Went to a fabulous show Saturday - Shawn Colvin, John Hiatt, Lucinda Williams, Kris Kristofferson. I've mentiond Lu is a friend before. Hung out with her and the band and others after her set. Was having so much I missed most of Kris' set. Time well spent. She was a little tired, but smiling on the inside.
Note clever use of product placement with Mandolin Café baseball cap. Endorsement deal possibility?

Evan Marshall is the fastest mandolin player. But I had a good laugh when I pressed the wrong button on my Ipad. That head sure bobbles about. Ha, ha. (Thank gawd it is a silent movie).
