F-Style Mandolin

Here is the another mandolin for the series of shots I have taken.  This is an F-Style Loar Mandolin.  They are such beautiful instruments.  The last one that will get photographed my Mom gave to me and was my Grandfathers.  It needs a little cleanup work first though.  These have been fun to photograph and I am having even more fun learning to play the mandolin!

2013

I took these photos of my mandolin yesterday.  It is an Epiphone A type Mandolin.  I have picked it up again recently after it hanging on the wall for a while.  It is part of my plan (although one of my plans is to be less of a control freak and have less plans) for 2013.  I am re-aligning some priorities.  My family and my art still come first and are a whole tier above anything else, but some of the things I have been spending time on that have not yielded any of the results I hoped for will fall down the list or off of it all together.  One of the things I am pursuing in 2013 is to stop messing around with my mandolin and really learn how to play folk tunes and bluegrass on it.

What are you plans for 2013.  I wish you all a very happy and healthy 2013.

Keep Makin' Art!
