Re: New thing on the market.

Okay, so on the website page it says there are 160 pages. I reckon
that's front and back.

 I've been meaning to mention this to you all for some days now and
 it's just been slipping off my mind. A friend of mine in Birmingham by
 the name of Brant Beene has come up with a little item that you might
 like so I'll tell you about it.

 Brant told me he got an old instrument, an inheritance I believe,
 passed along to him and when he got it he said he found a lot of
 records in the case; repair bills, notes, maybe song lyrics, etc.,
 just a potpourri of historical items. Brant said he was completely
 charmed with the contents and found himself feeling fortunate to have
 not only the instrument, but the pieces of paper that came in the
 case. It dawned on him that he probably wasn't the only one that felt
 this way about stuff you might find in the case when you acquire an
 instrument so he came up with a new product that he calls Case
 Notes. Basically what it is is a small book that will fit in most
 instrument cases that has ample pages laid out in sections with these
 headings(among a few); Instrument type, serial number, make/model,
 construction date, finish color, binding, bracing pattern, list of
 appointments/hardware, owner number 1, 2, etc, how/where the
 instrument was acquired, purchase price, condition, case description,
 list of signatures of prominent players who played on the instrument,
 repairs done, by whom/when/where, etc. This seems to me to be a good
 idea for everybody that likes this sort of historical stuff. The book
 sample I have is very well made with a sort of  very stout leather
 look cover material, a ribbon bookmark and probably at least 50 pages
 inside. The book comes in a maroon box. I think Brant has been working
 with a few instrument makers/dealers to include his product with
 their's. Apparently there are quite a few folks interested in the Case
 Notes history book. I've uploaded a cellphone pic of the one I have in
 the files section.

 Brant's web address for this item iswww.casenotesdiary.com. Give it a
 look.

Re: Make the case for your favorite case.

2009-01-06 Thread Romkey

Any suggestions on a good case for a '21 Gibson A? Body too big to fit
in a modern A case. Neck too short to fit in a modern rectangular F
case. Kind of a Mama Bear mandolin problem.

Couple of other thoughts for Tater  y'all:

I love the idea of a page (or pages) of resource links, be it cases,
makers, qualified luthiers (the new A needs frets, and there's
nobody in Iowa I'd give her to).

I don't know about a for-sale page with the Cafe being both free and
kind of the de facto standard, as it were, but maybe and available
listing for a smaller group of folks (i.e., that tater crowd) would be
useful. For example, I'm looking for either a vintage A case or
something that'll work. I'll pay money, or I have a kinda vintage ('50
Gibson) F case I'd trade. And I have one of those Apple iSight cameras
I bought for Tatercam lessons before I got my new MacBook that I'd
sell or GIVE AWAY to anybody who wants to buy it, or could put it to
use but doesn't have any money. Kind of a hillbilly hippy swap meet
page.

RE: Tobacco Tags

2009-01-06 Thread Sally and Nelson Peddycoart
I got mine from the British Association of Country Music.  They have
compiled all sorts of early American music on CD from 78s.  It has a couple
of dozen tunes on it, and I paid $5.00 for it.  When I get a chance, I am
going to go through the Old-Time Magazine's last issue.  There is an article
on Old-Time music archives on the Web.  I thought I'd type them in to Word
and give a summary of them free/pay/how much/what types of music, etc. and
post it.

Well come on up to New Jersey and we will do it  Speaking of which, Walk
Hard was a pretty poor movie, in my opinion, but the songwriting was great,
IMHO.  Especially Let's Duet  It was the same folks who wrote the music
for That Thing You Do.  Nelson, where did you get your tobacco tags, I
only have a couple of songs from Serenade in the Mountains collection.

The thing about Jersey Bull Blues is that spoken introduction just tickles
me, like tickle torture tickle.  It is great!  The high pitched I'd love
to and then throughout the song you can hear the same falsetto voice
singing.  And then the end, well that cow sure was scattered all over the
world
