A New Member

Just this past week, a new member of the band has been added...
The Mandolin. Adam has never been happier.

There is a lot you need to know about Mr.Mandolin in order to understand his important role in the band.

1st- He is Italian and comes from the Lute family. Being from the Lute family signifies that he has a neck and strings that are plucked.

2nd- His direct relative is the Mandore who is an original soprano from the Lute family.

3rd- Originally Mandolin had 6 sets of double strings to be plucked and now-a-days it is more common to have only 4 sets.

4th- Mandolin can come in many shapes and sizes but gennerally you will find him in a round or teardrop shaped form.

Good news for all of you, Adam has been expeditiously learning to play this guy and Dan and Adam have been hard at work writing songs that include him. In fact he will be featured in the new song called Cry Me a River.

This info has come from Wikipedia, so feel free to learn more.
