The Wonders of the Mandolin!

Alright here's what you gotta do:

Click on the following link http://www.722.org/video/currentseries.html

Then scroll down to the service titled "Part 1-Losing my Religion"

Click on whichever speed your computer can handle, unfortunately those of you that are so late 90s who still have dial-up are probably sunk along with the Titanic and Argile socks.

Once the service is loaded fast forward to 14 minutes and 36 seconds.

Then sit back and enjoy the wonders of the Mandolin played by Jason Horde (playing for Alex Nifong who was away playing with Steve Fee at another event) from Griffin, Georgia. Jason was 15 years old when he beat out Chris Steeley of Nickle Creek in a Mandolin competition! Why do I need to know this you ask? You don't I just thought I'd provide those details.

Anyway, that's NOT THE POINT! The point is that the Mandolin is making a comeback! Along with the word "rad" (thanks to Mr. Vince Rogers!), Spandex, and the whole big bangs that were so popular in the 80s, the Mullet, and bluegrass.

Praise the Lord, I Saw the Light!
