Episode Notes To Order my new album “Around the Clock” Click HERE! (Digitial, Limited CD or Limited Edition Vinyl) My guest this week is Emily Wilson. Emily is a great mandolin player and instructor, who also happens to be the caretaker of Lloyd Loar mandolin #71839 also known as the Karasik Mandolin. There's a good chance you may have seen Emily at a festival or gathering with this instrument. She has started up The Karasik Mandolin Project. The Karasik Mandolin Project's goal is to preserve Ely Karasik's January 5th, 1923 Lloyd Loar-Signed F5 Gibson #71839. While doing this, I also wish to to share the instrument with a variety of mandolinists that would otherwise not have access to a Lloyd Loar. This has been done by taking the mandolin to festivals, events and concerts, and getting video footage of the mandolin being played. The videos have been released on a weekly basis since January 2022.  To learn more about the project, or, to become an investor in the project, head over to the website HERE! You will find all the info you need as well as links to the Youtube and Facebook page and more!

My guest this week is Roger Siminoff. Not only is Roger an authority on instrument making, the physics of music and tap tuning, he's also an expert on the life and work of Lloyd Loar.Loar worked at Gibson in the early 1920s and oversaw the production of some truly remarkable, game changing instruments - most notably the F5 mandolin, which went on to become an integral part of bluegrass music and shape how we see mandolins for the next 100 years.We talked about Lloyd Loar's background, why his approach to making mandolins was both revolutionary, yet also harked back 200 years to the golden age of violin making and how Roger ended up researching Loar for a magazine piece (a piece that went on to develop into an interest in Loar's work, a deep friendship with his widow, the discovery of some long lost instruments and, ultimately, a life's work for Roger himself).It was a fascinating conversation - I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.To find out more about Roger and his books, visit siminoffbooks.comIn particular check out The Life and Work of Lloyd Allayre Loar and The Art of Tap TuningRoger mentions Dan Beimborn's wonderful Mandolin Archive site, detailing all the known Loar-signed instruments out there.For more on mandolins, including info and a truly excellent forum, I can highly recommend Mandolin CafeHappy picking!MattSend a message to Bluegrass Jam Along!

This week we feature C.J. Lewandowski, the mandolin player with the Po' Ramblin' Boys.  C.J. was working on a recording project with Bobby Osborne at the time of Bobby's passing.  We talk about that project and about C.J.'s friendship with Bobby Osborne.  We also discuss the latest from the Po' Ramblin' Boys and C.J.'s acquisition of his Lloyd Loar mandolin.  

On our 357th episode, we heard an incredible guitar safari tale from the Po' Ramblin' Boys' C.J. Lewandowski that involved a trip to Greece in the middle of a pandemic, an underground bank vault and the Lloyd Loar-signed Gibson mandolin he ended up bringing home. Today we're sharing the second half of that interview where C.J. talks to us about the Po' Ramblin' Boys' new record, 'Never Slow Down' (out now), his band's lineup, signing to Smithsonian Folkways, and much more. Yes, there's even another great mandolin lost & found story.  This episode is sponsored by Peghead Nation (use the promo code FRETBOARD and get your first month free or $20 off any annual subscription); Retrofret Vintage Guitars; Izotope (use the discount code FRET10 to save 10% off your Izotope purchase); and BED|STÜ shoes (save 20% off with the code FRETXBS for a limited time).

How far would you go for a great deal on the instrument of your dreams? How about a 5,500 mile trip halfway around the world in the middle of a pandemic? On this week's podcast, we meet C.J. Lewandowski, mandolinist and lead singer for the Po' Ramblin' Boys. C.J. just flew to Greece to buy a Lloyd Loar-signed Gibson F-5 mandolin, dated July 9, 1923, just like Bill Monroe's. He recounts the leap of faith he took to obtain it, the complexities of buying an instrument overseas, the condition of the mandolin when he finally obtained it (which had likely never played bluegrass prior to his ownership), and what's next. It's the ultimate guitar, err, mandolin safari tale... all the way to Athens, Greece and back. The Po' Ramblin' Boys have a great new album coming out March 25, 2022 called Never Slow Down on Smithsonian Folkways. We'll hear more about that on a future FJ Podcast episode.

Chris Thile (Punch Brothers, Nickel Creek) joins us this week's Fretboard Journal Podcast for an introspective talk about the making of Laysongs, his new solo album. It's a project that has the groundbreaking composer/mandolinist meditating on themes of organized religion, god and church (he even recorded the project in a former Hudson, NY church). During out chat, we talk about the compositions found on the album, his vocal technique, Live From Here, and why even Lloyd Loar-signed Gibson F-5 mandolins aren't perfect as-is. It's a fun and insightful conversation with one of our favorite musicians.  https://www.christhile.com Originally recorded May 13, 2021.  The Fretboard Journal's 48th issue is now mailing.

Mandolin virtuoso Sam Bush joins us on this week’s Fretboard Journal Podcast to talk about Revival: The Sam Bush Story, the recently-released full-length documentary on his life and music. We also talk about "Hoss," his 1937 Gibson F-5; learn why Sam has never owned a Lloyd Loar mandolin; and hear about his musical upbringing in Bowling Green, Kentucky.  Revival is now available for rent or purchase via Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Revival-Sam-Bush-Story/dp/B07GQVHML2  Longtime FJ readers may remember that Sam graced the cover of the Fretboard Journal #19, in a feature where he and Tim O’Brien interviewed each other.  This episode of the podcast is sponsored by Retrofret, Lee Valley and Lowden Guitars.

Jim talks about mixing bluegrass and trying out different mandolins and banjos, including a 1924 Lloyd Loar signed Gibson F5 mandolin.

We salute the great luthier, Lloyd Loar, in our artist feature with five amazing musicians playing Loar mandolins. Birthday celebrations, new music and our concert calendar as usual.
