Being a guitarist and keyboardist since my teens.... I decided to pick up a mandolin.

I found one for a really good price, got it and set about learning how to play it. It's certainly different.... strings are tuned differently, frets are smaller.... but hey, it's got strings and I can deal with that.

If you browse my tunes, you can hear me playing it. Christmas Without you...... currently on the user showcase somewhere...page 1 or 2.... would be a good one to listen to.

To me, a mandolin is a sweet sounding instrument.....and a banjo is handy because it can double as a hammer in a pinch.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
