I've been thinking about getting a mandolin ever since hearing
Winwood's "Back in the High Life" a few years ago. I'm comfortable
with the guitar, although not as accomplished with it as I'd like to
be after playing the darn thing for 25+ years. However, I know next
to nothing about the mandolin. How is it strung & tuned? Would it be
difficult to adapt my knowledge and feel for the guitar to the
mando? Can I use the Tommy Tedesco approach ("Tune everything like a
guitar") ? Any local LA "listeners" know where I can find one? I
frequent the many local music stores but have yet to run across one.
Someone did say to check out McCabe's in Santa Monica.

Thanks...

How can this claim be made if the tone is dependent on the impedance
interaction of the pickups with the amp input stages? Won't inserting
the device change the loading, and thereby the tone?

Which way is it folks?

So, does anyone else think that the sound quality of Dr. D's show has gone
DOWN since he's switched to CD?  When I hear it, some songs sound great,
but others sound like they're from old tapes, and so does his talking
sometimes.  I'm not even talking about unreleased tapes necessarily.
Take "Smells Like Nirvana": It sounded bad this morning on the Funny 25,
and I'm sure he would've been playing that from CD.  It sounded great back
in the summer on LP.  What's going on?

I want Eddie Fisher for Christmas.
Santa that's the gift I'm dreaming of.
I want him here rehearsing
To sing to me in person,
Anytime - Many times - all the songs I love.

 Wouldn't it be heaven to find him,
 Standing there beside my christmas tree.
 I want Eddie Fisher for Christmas,
 and I with that Eddie Fisher wanted me.

(spoken)
Dear Santa,
I know I'm still in my green years,
But you're my freind Santa.
I wish you were here right now
with Eddie Fisher walking behind you.
Believe me, if I ever needed a Christmas present;
I need it now.

(sung)
 Wouldn't it be heaven to find him,
 Standing there beside my christmas tree.
 I want Eddie Fisher for Christmas,

	Yes, well......
	Paganini wasn't mad, just a good showman.  Ditto Liszt, Gottschalk,
and many other virtuoso instrumentalists of the previous century.  They
were the rock stars of their time, in essence.
	As to "insane" composers:  it's a tough call to some extent since
insanity is a pretty mutable concept once you get beyond the obviously
delusional.  Tchaikovsky was pretty obviously neurotic and apparently
suffered from at least a mild affective disorder, and the fact that he was
trying to deny his homosexuality didn't help any, I'm sure.  And Charles
Valentin Alkan was so excessively reclusive that it bordered on (if not
crossed over into) some kind of madness.
	Beethoven had more than his share of emotional hangups, Scriabin
was a religious mystic and perhaps suffered from hallucinations, and
Rachmaninov suffered from severe bouts of depression.  On the other hand
Bach, Haydn, Dvorak, and numerous other Big Names(tm) led lives of boring
normalcy.

I had almost given up hope for catching the Dr. Demento Show in
northeastern Indiana. However, by a stroke of luck, I was listening to the
Comedy Hour on WLBC (104.1 FM Muncie Indiana), and after the news at 10 pm
on Sunday they played the Dr. Demento Show... So, for whoever's keeping
track, it looks like The Doctor Is In...

Sunday night, 10:05 p.m., 104.1FM, Muncie Indiana.

I haven't "officially" confirmed this, but I did hear it on my radio.

By the way, does anyone know about the "new" fan club? It's 14.95 and
includes a special CD/tape unavailable elsewhere. Does anyone have this CD
and/or have a track listing?

Also, does Rhino officially sponsor the show?

	Yeah, it's Elgar; part of the five "Pomp and Circumstance" marches
written for various coronations.  But I think you'll find your last statement
to be a minority opinion among music lovers.  Elgar's numerous oratorios have
a considerable following, to say nothing of the Cello Concerto or the Enigma
Variations or his symphonies.....
	There is, by the way, a truly demented version of "Pomp and
Circumstance #1" transcribed for *jazz band* by Paul Whiteman in 1924.  You
can hear it on a 2-CD set on MusicMasters that re-creates the concert where
it was first played; it also happens to be the concert the premiered 
Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue".  The banjo plunking it's way through "Land of
Hope and Glory" is just *too* much fun.
	Maybe we need to start a thread on classical dementia, accidental or
otherwise....>:-)>

Enigma Variations is one of my favorite pieces and well worth listening to. 
Some of its segments are pretty demented in their own right, though - the 
short one with the high-speed bassoon solo about the bulldog falling into
the river still makes me laugh every time I hear it.

Paganini was accused of having sold his soul to the devil.
In addition to his theatrics (as mentioned in another posting), he tuned his
violin to a different key than the standard one - he was able to play
combinations of notes that would be impossible with the standard tuning.
Witnesses to one of his concerts claimed that lighting came out of his
fingertips while he played.  Supposedly he came very close to being killed
for being in league with the devil.

I second this one.  P.D.Q. Bach has given me more of an appreciation for
classical music than anyone else (except maybe E.L.P.  Some of their
swipes^H^H^H^H^H^Hborrowings come from some out of the way places.)

Of course this raises the question of whether some of the really avant
garde stuff from the sixties and seventies was dementia or not . . . :-)
