Today I happened to mention that I like the sound of an octave mandolin, and we went to Buckdancer's Choice to look at one. Even though I can't play one I had to feel of one as well as hear it up close. Nice sound. Jacqui insisted that I need one for my birthday which is coming up next month.
Well, I've never won argument with a woman in my life, so the upshot is, I have a new instrument.
I don't dare tell her how much I love Elephants!
