Thread Name: Mandolin Style in Alt-Country Songs
Subject: RE: Mandolin Style in Alt-Country Songs
The more, the better, in my opinion. Why limit the instrument to a certain style? It started out as a classical instrument, got used in a lot of dance-style bands and early mariachi stuff, and Bill Monroe took it to new levels with bluegrass a generation and a half ago. I look forward to seeing new developments in technique. It's such a great instrument that it deserves much more than a recurring "fad" status.
