Am afternoon nap with a cat;

Getting my #mandolin to someone who can do repairs who confirmed that yes, there is a part of the buzzing noise it's making that is from an easily corrected setup problem, NOT from my beginner's lack of technique;

Singing "Happy Birthday" to my ride as the odometer rolls over. 25 years, 25000 miles.

Eines der anspruchsvolleren Stücke in unserem aktuellen Repertoire ist 'Carneval di #Venezia' des ital. Mandolinisten C. Munier. Das Stück überrascht mit einer eingängigen, bekannten Melodie, die in verschiedenen, zum Teil virtuosen Variationen aufgearbeitet wird. Sehr zu empfehlen! imslp.org/wiki/Carneval_di_Ven

Leider sind nur wenige Aufnahmen des Stückes online zu finden: youtube.com/watch?v=g6ZrdRgt6U

I'm a #guitartech, I've worked under many people, worked for Guitar Center, and had my own shop for a time. I still do it on the side these days & I'm always happy to give advice. I've worked on everything with strings that isn't a classical instrument.

I #DIY a lot because I often find cookie cutter or off the shelf solutions to be lacking. I'm often seen making or modifying some thing to better fit my use cases.

The "Dawg at 80!" concert looked phenomenal. What an all-star lineup. It's really too bad Tony Rice isn't still with us as he would have been a great addition. Regardless it looked like a special evening.

It was filmed for a livestream special premiering on nugs.net this Sunday, 3/30 at 8pm eastern.

"You're Still the One" is a song recorded by Canadian singer #ShaniaTwain for her third studio album #ComeOnOver (1997). The song was inspired by criticism of Twain's relationship with her then-husband and #producer #RobertJohnMuttLange and depicts her celebrating their marriage despite the difficulties and differences between the two. Written by Twain and Lange, it is a #piano-driven #countryPop ballad incorporating #guitar, #organ, and #mandolin.

Okay, in 1851 the opera Rigoletto was first performed in Venice. BUT 155 years later, a Canadian film adaptation, ''Rigoletto ...in bluegrass" won Best Originality at the Bluegrass Independent Film Festival in Kentucky.

While most of the music is deliberately corny bluegrass, the Prelude and the Introduction from the original opera are performed by the Mandolin Society of Peterborough.
