First Post.....

So this is my first post in my Mandolin Blues Blog. I decided I wanted to put this up for a few reasons. First off, after playing guitar for 20 years, I'm now learning the mandolin. I've been playing for 1 year now and have decided to learn to play the blues on it. Second, there are a lot of good resources out there on the web to teach blues mandolin and I want to use this blog to capture some of them. Finally, I am hoping that blogging about what I'm doing will add an element of commitment to what I'm doing. I know myself well enough to know that when others are watching, I take things more seriously and commit to them more....
