And I while I’m at it, while in Venice accidently stumbled on to an old church yards from Rialto Bridge that had some 200+ year old mandolins.

Looks like an old hurdy gurdy in there too.
Nice vocals on the Prine song.

Let me see, what am I up too. Well, I am awaiting the email saying my twanger is about to ship. I’ve been around the sun 52 times, and it’s like I’m only 6, waiting for Santa.

Had to walk up to the store to get a few necessities today…(still waiting for truck parts to arrive). Luckily it’s only a mile there.

I know that feeling! If you don’t already have some, make sure you have a set of light strings to put on it. They come with mediums, but it’s pretty unanimous that the Twanger comes alive with lights.
Ben recommends the GHS PF135 set, and I totally agree with him.

I’d be interested to hear what a Twanger sounds like with a set of Stelling medium- heavies
.101," .012," .015," .024," .010" on.
I should add - I mean a comparison with a Twanger with Light Strings

The GHS PF185s are my personal favorite set… just heavy enough to pull a rich tone out of them but easier to play than most medium sets.

I think it ships with a set of 135s

This week at church we did the same songs we practiced last week, didn’t do them because church was canceled. Most of the instruments were left on the stage, and the electric guitar snapped it’s high E while being tuned. Praise God a B string worked in its place!

Today at “The Back of Beyond” (what I call my place) was seed starting day.
I started seed flats all day. Cold weather stuff. Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, artichoke, leeks, 8 different varieties of “greens”, and a flat of herbs that my wife wanted me to start.
I keep a 3500 sq ft traditional garden and around 800 sq ft of raised beds. I have heating pads for seed starting and grow lights. This is the first wave, in 2 weeks or so I’ll be starting peppers, maters, egg plant, squash, and a few other things.
Always so nice getting seeds started…means spring is getting closer every day.
Now time to pick a tune…or three. I play every single night for a min of an hour, most of the time two hours.

Be sure to sow a few tree seeds we have lost so many trees lately that we all need to do a little to help restore our planet of lost vegetation

Nice! How was your skiing, @BanjoBen? We had several inches of powder today, pretty good ground cover.

Jackson has set a January snowfall record! It was incredible! We did a snowmobile ride to Old Faithful through Yellowstone on Saturday and that was probably the highlight of the trip.
