Mandolins...?

Can't get the idea out of my head that I need a constructive hobby - besides cleaning the garage someday, gardening when the weather warms, finishing the chicken coop someday, organizing my crazy stacks and piles that drives my wife nuts some weekend, etc. - I am wondering why I never kept going with the guitar like my brothers...

I have been wanting to pick up the mandolin for years...  I wonder if anyone has any recommendations to learn about and eventually purchase one...

Tom would be able to give you some good tips. Dick W. probably could also. That would be a cool addition! We really need a drummer too. :) I would love to have a backup acoustic player, but Levi plays and Chad is "learning".

Would be awesome to have you up there!

Lyle, I think bongo type drums would be cool!

I saw a really cool looking set of "congo" drums on Craig's list a couple of weeks ago... I think they were a couple hundred or something... Anything is a bonus! Mandoline would be sweet too! I "should" concentrate on the vocals and go take some lessons or something but it's fun trying to learn the guitar.. I still think it would be fun to put together some sort of barbershop quartet... I've heard that you can sing! I've heard you sing a baretone growing up.. :) Just a thought.
