Thanks Linda - any new ideas are mostly accidental!! As has been said
previously, for a tune that at face value seems pretty simple its kinda
complicated. I messed around with it some on the fiddle and although I'm not
much of a fiddle player, it does come a little easier on the fiddle...
Hey - I know I'm late to the party. Here's my shot at Grub - double slops,
muffs, and all...
Apologies for the pitiful video - made with my blackberry.

I've experimented with different sets of strings - never have gone the route of
different gauges from
different sets at once.
I've had a Daley standard for 6 years. With my mando, I think in addition to
the tension of the strings
a couple of other factors affect the sound. I've noticed that

For those interested, here's some audio from our little mandolin tasting near

pretty good. We were passing around the tunes so after 7 or 8
Chef - agree with you on this one. Really cool tune. I really liked the first
time I heard Mike play it
and liked it even more when I found out the title - Old Tn. River. I spent a
lot of time on the Tn. river
growing up - maybe that's why I like it so much.
First time I remember hearing it
I uploaded Old Tenn River recorded at Nashcamp in 2001. Jimmy Campbell on
fiddle, Mike on mando, and Gene Bush on guitar. This was the front port
concert one night at the camp. Its in the file area -

Okie Doke, here's the link to the pix. It's the same as for the

Speaking of gravy, our hostess setup a big spread of grub in addition to
holdin' down the bottom
with her excellent bass playin.
We may try another one in a few months - I'll give you a heads up. We'd love
for you to come down for it.
We had a cool mando tasting get together in North Mississippi yesterday
afternoon. Lots of fun.
Tater - one of your buddies from Meridian - Doug Anderson - was there.
Lots of pickin and even several Monroe tunes.
See pics on this thread on mandolincafe
Ditto - Nice job on those tunes...

Interesting topic - I've seen lots of pro and anti Ricky stuff on discussion
