I saw Steve Earle do it solo with a mandolin one time on TV, I forget what show (many years ago). I liked it then and I'm liking what I'm doing with it now. I'm in the middle of transitioning from playing in a classic rock band to solo acoustic performer. Sort of tightening up the stuff I used to sit around the living room playing and learning more of that type of material. It's really rejuvenating my interest in music.jeffp
