What a couple of magnificent musicians being all humble and thankful at the same time. You both are a blessing. Thanks.

My dad played a 1921 Gibson from the 70s until his death in 2022. My brother plays that mandolin now.

This was great! Great conversation and to echo what Mr. Nicolson said, thank you for all you do for the mandolin community. North Carolina Raise Up!

Great interview and tips on playing! Darren certainly has the gift to play well.

I use some older Italian tunes like tarantellas if i want to practice my tremolos. For bluegrass I'm still working on the old 1-4-5's 😀 Great interview!

Man this is really 🔥 great. Thanks for what you both do.

Good Lordy Loar!

Darren said that as he got older his pick got thinner and his touch became lighter, so what gauge pick was he using? Also, Darren must have trusted you to have a play of his instrument...any footage of that? A very entertaining and informative interview. Thanks.

Darren, where did you get that cool tee shirt?

[@longtalljay]

Is that a Wegen black BG 1.4 pick?

I’m 31 and whenever I practice mandolin I make sure I practice yoga to stretch my hands afterwards to keep my hands healthy
