Thread Name: Monroe's Mandolin
Subject: RE: Monroe's Mandolin
For what it's worth, James Monroe (his very well known band was "The Midnite Ramblers"), although he has gotten treated pretty roughly by the press during the last few years, learned his bad business sense from his dad. Together they got into countless bad deals and were always scrambling to make up the losses. From the many books I've read on Monroe, I get the feeling that both he AND James were the types to keep their money under the mattress....and then forget WHO'S mattress it was under!

Shore wish I'da bought one of then tieclips though.
