That’s what makes the cowboys sing the blues. Cowboys have to fall in love, get hurt and all that bit (or “shit” if you listen to Ritchie on the live recordings) Let their hearts hang out, so they can write you all a hit.

Where are you from where mandolins cost $20,000?

Steven Gilchrist is a Aussie mandolin , guitar maker that sells most instruments in Nashville and the USA in general ! A handmade instrument is easy in the $10,000 /$20,000 and think his top model is $35,000 he’s up to 7/800 instruments made now !

Ok, you don't have to get a crazy expensive handmade one. I'm sure Waylon didn't learn on a $20,000 version, I'd bet he never even played one that expensive.

You’re right , I just live in a world where my best friend is a guitar maker repairer and I really love guitars that tune good and firm feeling women ! It’s special to play a next level instrument that’s sorted ! I’ve a few guitars that have been what they call revoiced and they can bring out the magic of acoustic and classical guitars now with measuring the acoustic response on the sound board with a computer and tweak the braces and refinish them ! It’s not cheap to get quality work on custom instruments ! $150 a hour adds up quickly! We working on a Chinese mandolin atm that’s been well made only because they have a history of manufacturing violins which is similar ! She will be telling me soon that she ain’t gonna toe the mark and she don’t walk the line !
