Hello all of you, & of course I hope that each of you are having great day today!  It is awesome that on February 21^st, my beautiful wife Elise found something that I didn’t even remember that I already have is a “Mandolin”, which is a stringed musical instrument in the “lute” family, & for your information, “lute” generally refers to any necked string instruments having the strings running in a plane parallel to the sound table!

I have been playing my Huss & Dalton acoustic guitar for many years, but I also received my new “3/4 Martin” acoustic guitar for my birthday, which is on January 23^rd. I have surely been so excited to now know that I already have a “Mandolin”! This instrument will enable me to play it along with two of my great friends who are both awesome at playing their acoustic guitars, & it will enable us to play some music together & it will give me the opportunity to play some different tones & also adjust the speed of me using my picks compared to the ways that they are playing their acoustic guitars!

Thank you everyone for giving me the opportunity to update you on something that I truly love to do, which is to learn how to play my two acoustic guitars, & also my Mandolin instrument, much better & more frequently!

If any of you want to share with all of us your interests in playing an instrument, regardless of the type of instrument, then feel free to do that, for sure!
