I don't think she likes the special sauce, Rick.


Speaking of violin and mando, I haven't been much happier than I was sitting in a music store playing around with the mandolins when a mom and daughter came in to ask if they happened to have the violin sheet music for Ashokan Farewell. The staffmember was saying he wasn't familiar with it as I started to pluck it out quietly in the background and she suddenly stops, turns and shouts "that's it!"

Ah, that's a nice memory. Now that I think about it, that was the first time I performed for anyone who wasn't my wife.

D’Addario for the brand, and lights over mediums if they work for your particular mando. I've got a folksy flat-top Mid-Missouri and it's pretty light, but I've heard some heavier weight ones expect mediums or higher for stress reasons.
