The Tao of the Mandolin

I am writing weekly posts to CoMando, the mandolin discussion list, applying Taoist ideas to the mandolin and mandolin playing. I have been wanting to write this little book for several years, and I thought that writing it in installments for mandolin players and enthusiasts would be a good way to share my thoughts. I'm very interested in your ideas and reactions--please sign the guestbook or e-mail me!
