Welcome to the June-July Issue of Mel Bay's Mandolin Sessions. There's is a lot of good material this time around. In his great jazz column, Ted breaks down minor scales and chords. Dix presents a solo to "Nine Pound Hammer" from his new book/CD "Getting Into Bluegrass Mandolin." New columnist Bobby Clark finds out what's in Roland White's case. Next issue Bobby talks to mandolin phenom Ronnie McCoury. I have written a column including a beautiful Swedish tune from my forthcoming MB book/CD, "International Favorites for the Mandolin." Enjoy and let us know how we are doing.
