What is a mandolin? According to Webster, it is "a musical instrument of the lute family that has a usually pear-shaped body and fretted neck and four to six pairs of strings." Is it me, or does Webster seem a little run-on-sentence-ish today?
Where can you hear a great example? Here's one of my favorites (be still my heart, that opening harmony...but beware, there's a swear word!), and here's my definite favorite song, oh, and here's one more!
Now how to pull off an etsy friday...
First, you need a mandolin and a cute brunette to model it.
First, you need a mandolin and a cute brunette to model it.
Then, you need a strap to hold it around you.
And a solid pic.
And inspiration (from the master, Chris Thile).
And inspiration for the future generation.
And a bit of art.
Somewhere to record lyrics.
Some flashy frosting.
And something special for the kiddo (hint, Ace's favorite aunt, hint).
Happy Friday!
