My wife grew up playing the Mandolin and Octave Mandola in The San Diego Mandolin Orchestra, and she has enjoyed playing the Mandolin her entire life. Over the past year (2011), I began reading music and playing the Mandolin as well. It is a challenge, but it has been very enjoyable. I'm also taking up photography as a new hobby, and I hope to combine these two interest of mine on this blog site.

Mandolin Orchestra of Northwest Arkansas - Inaugural Meeting
Had our first meeting for the Mandolin Orchestra of Northwest Arkansas tonight. Nine players showed up, and there were several others that couldn't make it because of prior commitments. We covered a lot of business, but managed to play a couple of songs toward the end. For our first try, we actually sounded pretty good. Here is a photo to commemorate our inaugural meeting!

It was a great evening! Can't wait for the next rehearsal!
