What are y'all up to?

[BanjoBen]

It’s always so great to see you @Lone_Wolf! You are an excellent picker!

I guess there can be a huge difference in quality of what’s put on the CD depending on the studio?

There are so many factors that go into it. Though the studio (mics/engineer/preamps) is a big one, the mixing/mastering process makes just as much difference.

Thank you @BanjoBen😁

Just wanted to share that yesterday I got to meet my one day old grandson. The baby, my daughter, and son-in-law are doing fantastic. I really enjoyed seeing my wife v being a grandmother, she’s so excited (she’s already said to them she wants to get him a guitar). Luckily we can spend a few days with them.

Ate the best taco of my life here in Mexico…we were able to get down for a couple days to celebrate a dear friend’s BD. I haven’t been to Mexico since 2005 maybe? But have plans to go 3 times this year, twice more for mission trips.

The top one is steak, next one is al pastor…it was the pastor that was the best I’ve ever had!

This is at a place called Taqueria El Paisa near the art district in San Jose del Cabo. It was from an Uber driver’s recommendation.

Ken Ratcliff, a mandolin builder in Kentucky, just gave Leo this new mandolin this week! It’s a really nice instrument, so thankful for his amazing generosity! Just thought I’d share a clip of Leo playing it… and a thanks to @Mason_Crone for sharing the Mandolin Cafe link with us a few weeks ago

[Shad]

Wow! nice job, Leo!

[Flatpickin_Libby]

The rest of us are just moving to the backseat already. Leo’s 8 years old and has 5 mandolins, 3 of which have been given to him.

Currently cooking my dinner - grilled salmon and rice with veggies. Since I started eating a healthy diet, it takes much time on cooking. By the way, who can share easy recipes? I also want to get some reviews of Xenical (find it at Canadian Pharmacy), who takes it? Are weight loss pills effective actually?

Prepping for visiting grandkids on Easter. My daughter came over to drop off some cinnamon rolls and I played her the song I’ve been working up for Easter. Please forgive the mistakes—just a quick attempt. I got this one from Dave Dillard’s Best Hymns clawhammer book—a great book and even better CD. By way, I did help Ellen with the eggs—just needed a quick song break. Happy Easter everyone!
