You must be a real dumb ass. To play that outside in that shit. You can Keep that WEBER now. 3min, 4min. or 5min. Doesn't matter $4.000 mandolin. Must be nice to have that much money to waste. I'd never buy anything from you. People that do shit like that. Are the ones that say this company makes junk when the wood cracks. and the neck goes crazy. Listen to your vid. you can hear how it was killing the sound. MMM no damage only 5min. LOL

@bluegrasssingingman No mandolins were harmed during the filming of this clip. Thanks so much for your concern over MY mandolin but its fine. Thanks for watching!!

Ummm....

You could have picked 'McKinley's March'.

[tenorbanjoguy]

That's a great idea! Why don't you fly up here, teach it to me and we'll play it together! :)Your welcome at the cabin anytime Evan!!

I learned it from the Mel Bay book "Monroe Instrumentals." It is tabbed out in there. I'm glad you like the vid!

I would feel less guilty chucking stones at small animals or songbirds than to play that mandolin, exposed to climate as it is. Musical instruments are for the periods of time when you CAN'T get away.

For me musical instruments are for when I have time to play, so a cabin trip is definately the time to bring it! The video is under 2 minutes which means the mando was out of its case for a total of 3 minutes and outside for 5 minutes max. So it looks worse than it is! Thanks for the comment.

I love to be able to waste $6,599.00. Not that I would. I just love to know how it feels to piss that much MONEY away, if I felt like it. LOL

@bluegrasssingingman  Sorry $6,599.00 for a Weber Fern

Very nice! How the heck did you keep the mandolin in tune out in the cold?

[nichmars]

cold fingers was my first thought too! I remember that tune from a Bill Monroe album! thanks.

Gosh, I can't stop watching this video. Reminds me of home. Did you learn this one by ear or tab it out? Cuz I'm having a heck of a time finding tabs for it.
