There is an internet mailing list, to which I subscribe, for Cittern, Bouzouki, Octave Mandolin, Mandola and any other "mandolin on steroids" derivatives. Wonderful bunch of people, and not just talkers but doers as well. We just came out with our second 2-cd set of tunes mostly and some songs by list members. And this year I was able to attend the second annual Zoukfest in Weston, Mo. Both of these started as discussion threads on the list.

Stanley Greenthal did a song class on mandocello that was great.

Be warned, though. It is an active list. This morning I have 31 messages waiting, and I cleared it yesterday afternoon.
