Comment by Jim Morris on May 17, 2017 at 8:37am: Thanks Erasmo. Exactly my feeling. The F stands for Fortune since Bill's mando was valued at over 1M USD and donated to the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Comment by Dave Lynas on May 17, 2017 at 7:55am: Wonderful Jim. Sounds Rick and in the master's hand, it is! Don't cut your ear off. Got yer nose. Do you know Jim Decending a Staircase?

Comment by Jim Morris on May 17, 2017 at 6:48am: Thanks pick.

Comment by the anonymous pick on May 17, 2017 at 6:25am: awesome sauce in a bucket of yumyum .

Comment by Richard Sundberg on May 17, 2017 at 6:01am: Sounded like you were in the studio with Guy Clark putting it down on vinyl . Nice lead mandolin indeed.

Comment by Milt Haselmire on May 17, 2017 at 4:59am: Sounds like Bill's Loar.
