Subject: RE: Mandolin Mudcatters survey
Is the mandolin your primary instrument or a sideline?

It's my primary and preferred instrument (playing for around 45 years) although I've been playing the guitar nearly as long.

Do you perform regularly with others/are you part of an organized group?

Weekly pub sessions and regular house sessions these days. Not part of an organised group at the moment although have played in several in the past. May put an old-timey group together soon if I can find other interested musicians.

What type of music do you play?

Fairly wide-ranging... Irish/Scottish/Celtic, old-timey, Appalachian, bit of bluegrass, jazz, blues, classical.

What style would you LIKE to be playing?

More of everthing but especially old-timey, Appalachian and Americana.

Are you happy with your mandolin?

Yes.

What type/style/brand of mandolin do you own.

Main: Sim Daley A-style and a Nava two-point on order. Also have a Fylde Touchstone
