How's everyone in Nashville, Tater?

Just saw some video of the flooding - man, I can't even imagine. I live in Nor Cal and the media has barely mentioned this event and from what else I have heard neither has the nat'l media for that matter. I will be looking to help in any way I can, will probably have to be a donation of some kind

How Do You Like The New Taterbug Specials?

I've noticed a marked difference from my last taterbug which was on the thinner side. In fact it warp/molded to my thumbprint, so it is dished out a bit. The new one is one of the extra heavy's, i like the tone and feel and doesn't seeml like it will dish out or warp. Am sitting here playing vari

Monroe's Mandolins

Did Mr. Monroe ever have/play an Ibanez 527 model? There is a fella over at the cafe that is using that as a sell point for his 526. Just curious if anyone knows. Tater? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Grou
