Howdy folks and welcome to another great issue of Mel Bay's free webzine for mandolin players. This issue has interviews of bluegrass legend Jesse McReynolds by Bobby Clark and Red Diamond mandolin builder Don MacRostie by Joe Mendel. Sometime contributor Gerald Jones shares his "Home, Sweet Home" variations that were the hit of the mandolin class at Camp Bluegrass 2004. Check out the MP3.

Dix Bruce continues with part 2 in his series about building mandolin solos. Ted offers more great jazz mandolin insights and I share a duet taken from an early mandolin instruction book.
