Good things happen to good people! Now the trick, John, is to put the mandolin down and go back to classes! Enjoy it, as I know you will, from what I saw at SA this past weekend. ROCK OUT LIKE...

You're right John, and it includes some of my absolute favorite musicians: Win Butler, Sufjan Stevens, Levon Helm, Peter Buck, Mike Mogis, Jack White.
Aha, now I remember why I was so interested in the mandolin!

There is definitely something mandolin in the air these days. Just got my Epi Mandobird IV back from the shop yesterday after waiting a month to fix one fret out spot. I was rocking it through the Marlboro Lights cigarette amp I got at Haight Ashbury last weekend. Fun Stuff!!!

John, you need to cut class more often!
Congrats on the "small world" machine.

Who says college sucks? I went to the Citadel (before it was co-ed) and still had much more fun than I'm having now. Law School at UGA (was was decidedly co-ed) was "... dreamy." Just think, I'm 39, so I've got about 25 more years of this enjoyable work. Color me bitter.
Congratulations John. Now, spend a little less attention on mandolins and a little more attention on the control cavity of that 325 we were talking about!
Take it easy,

JB, have you ever heard the expression that "good things happen to good people"?
Well, you're a prime example.
Congratulations
