Music I listen to

Interesting facts about me

I'm an English mandolin and guitar player now aged ... ahem .. almost 40. Got my first mando (an ancient Neapolitan-style roundback) when I was 16 and have never stopped loving mandolins. Recently acquired a Breedlove Cascade (gorgeous!).

I also teach Latin and have written two books: "Annus Horribilis: Latin for Everyday Life" (published Oct 2007) and "Amida: A Novel", an epic of ancient siege warfare (pub 2004, www.pineapplepubs.co.uk)

    Thanks Jeff -- yep, I'm loving it more and more every day. On my old mando I used to try and hack my way through some Bill Monroe tunes and they never really made sense -- just the wrong sound, the wrong attack, and my fingers never quite wanted to work with the strings. On the Cascade, everything falls into place beautifully!

    Marcus,

    I am new here as well. I have 2 Quartz Mandos--Stop by the gallery and post a picture of your new Breedlove. I am sure that we would all love to see it.

    Michael.
