Subject: RE: Mandolin Mudcatters survey
Is the mandolin your primary instrument or a sideline?
I play guitar first, picked up mandolin when arthritis prevented playing quitar.

Do you perform regularly with others/are you part of an organized group?
No. But I would like to join session in Chelmsford for both guitar and the mandolin. Maybe even my Appalachain dulcimer.

What type of music do you play?
The first song learned (yesterday) on the mandolin is blues "Trouble in Mind" only two finger chords

What style would you LIKE to be playing? <
font color=blue>Anything I can pick up easily for the moment. Jigs and reels, blues and bluegrass. I am just starting.

Are you happy with your mandolin?
I love it, she is so loud for such a petite little thing. Very satisfactory.

What type/style/brand of mandolin do you own.
It is a loaner from a friend, I think it is italian maybe french. But if my interest and ability grows, I think I better look into prchasing one of my own.
