I am using:

Martin D-18GE
Charles J. Horner mandolin style F5
Charles J. Horner violin
1922 Bauch pernambuco bow

I am using a Fender tri-corner pick with one corner rounded off. I use a heavy on the mandolin and medium for the guitar.

I am wearing a burgundy and gold flannel shirt with LL Bean blue jeans and a pair of Daniel Green house shoes.

Beverly is making some pancakes as I write

The two Horner instruments were build with Red spruce sourced by Ted Davis and John Arnold in West Virgina. The violin is from a 1990 log and the mandolin John thinks is a later tree they found around 1998.

The Martin also has a Red spruce top and has been highly modified by John Arnold.

goes well with Vermeer and other Baroque art of the times. And yet it sounds perfectly Applachian as well.

I'm thoroughly enjoying this, chuck.

That was lovely.

The wonderful tone and feel have convinced me I must get a flannel shirt like yours in order to attain such a tone. Would you describe the pattern? Is it a plaid? I imagined it a plaid.

Candidly, I don't think the LL Bean blue jeans had any effect, but I can see where a comfy pair of Daniel Green house shoes could lighten your grip on the pick(s) and enhance the performance.

And I swear I could smell pancakes as I listened to your performance this morning. But that must have been the power of suggestion, unlike my conclusion about the influence of your shirt on the tone.

Very nice job, with a down home flavor, but it work very well.
