That instrument on the right looks like a combination mandolin banjo. I guess that circular part is a resonator/soundbox?1/8
The only pictures I took were of stuff we were going to get rid of to send to the boys.
Andy will take all of the instruments, he’s taking the cigars, too

It was Mike’s father’s mandolin. Andy is going to recondition it. Being musically inept, I can only guess the you are right.That instrument on the right looks like a combination mandolin banjo. I guess that circular part is a resonator/soundbox?
Hmm... Fiddle, mandolin, and autoharp: You had an old-timey string band musician in the family?1/8

Mike did dabble in blue grass for a short time. His dad was in a (very popular) country band back in the day. Mike took guitar as a kid then became obsessed with violin. He bought his first one on our honey moon. He took lessons and played with an orchestra for a while. When his dad became ill he gave Mike all all his instruments including a steel guitar. Along the way we seem to have attracted a menagerie of music instruments. I thought about trying to gather them all into one spot for a collection photo but I’m not sure they’d all fit in a frame.Hmm...

Good way to keep your brain alive.He is constantly learning new music.

We have been lucky to have live music every week at our favorite local brewery. The crowds were a bit scarce after our recent snow event.
This is the Hipstamatic X update, in the pinhole lens mode with Death Valley combo.

Thanks, I thought it was pretty cool. I guess it’s the pinhole that makes it look so tunnel-y.Really like this picture
