You would not believe the romance novel character I met at the farmer's market today
Let me describe this man head to toe.
A busker playing the banjo. Even seated, you can tell he's at least six feet tall (later confirmed), with straw coloured hair reaching just above his shoulders under a proper straw hat, a light grey henley (top button undone) under a plaid shirt with red and gold, cuffs rolled to the elbow. Deeply tanned forearms. Blue jeans just tight enough to show musculature over brown work boots, and a string of bells around each ankle, chiming out with each stomp of his heel.
And he played like damn angel, fingers flying, head bowed in concentration keeping his eyes out of view under the brim of his hat. When he was done with the banjo, he pulled out a mandolin.
He had a cup of Tim Horton's at his feet.
Listen, I stared at this man for a good ten minutes. When I put a fiver in his mandolin case, he said "Thank you" in a Garrett Hedlund baritone drawl.
Did a round of the market and came back, chatted with the lady in the stall next to the busker, learned that he's here a lot. "He's a really nice guy!" she assured me, at which point I had to explain that actually, I was planning on asking him about the local folk music scene, whether they were holding jam sessions and would let a beginner join.
She nodded. "Ben would know."
Of course. Of course his name is Ben. (This name continually haunts my waking life.)
Anyway yes, I did approach Ben and yes, I did learn about the music scene and yes, he now has my number to pass on to his friend who organizes this kind of stuff. And yes, easily six foot two.

That’s ok, in that case what would you suggest? Mini rexes?
Also yeah that list would be awesome if it isn’t a bother lol
mini rex are great but depending on where you are they're VERY competitive. i know a lot of MR people in washington and unless you have money to drop on some real good rabbits i wouldn't start there either haha.
in general, these things are gonna be pretty regional depending on how competitive you want to get and how much disposable income you have to throw at rabbits. going to shows can get you a better idea of what's around and what's popular.
in general though i like to point people to breeds like californian, new zealand, and florida white when they're starting. boring? yes. but they are easy to find, usually very typey, and a barn full of rabbits that all look alike will really teach you how to look at the body rather than the colours, which is probably THE most important fundamental skill.
fur breeds like satin/mini satin, rex/mini rex, silver fox, etc. can be very typey but the fur is an added difficulty that can be fun to some and absolutely brutal for others. people tend to love fur breeds (because who doesn't want to drown in rex fur) so they can be quite competitive, and often the act of breeding will ruin fur quality, especially in does (something to do with hormones and the fact that does pull fur for nests.) satins/mini satins also have the added bonus of having really horrible personalities.
Woolies, angora, and fuzzy lops require a LOT of grooming and that may be fun for some and really intimidating for others. If it's not done appropriately it can lead to matting and wool block so not really something you can slack on. also, most wool breeds don't have a lot of meat since all their nutritional resources go into fur production.
my favourite little guy with an added Thing to make it interesting though is dutch. they're a marked breed, which can be really frustrating, but they're also very easy to tell at birth if they're worth growing out. they're compact, generally very typey, and also make really great little meat bricks (which is nice for all those culls you'll be doing if you aren't doing it in the nest.) unfortunately in washington there is basically zero competition.
i am not very familiar with the upright/running breeds so i can't really comment on those, except that in general full-arch may not be beginner friendly due to their space requirements, high strung personalities, and the fact that most of them are marked breeds.
as i said before i also don't touch dwarf breeds in general but in my area holland lops are so popular that they'll often have a judge doing nothing BUT that breed at local shows. netherlands and lionheads are also really popular. i have no idea how difficult they are to show necessarily, i just know how many i see at any given local lol. i like papillons a lot but they're still a little difficult to find, and brittania petites are demons in physical form, but they are pretty typey and seem easy to find.
mandolin is another group i'm not super familiar with but from what i understand they are not hard to show just difficult to find. most of them are also pretty big and can have difficult housing requirements due to their size. big bunnies don't make as much meat, grow slower, and don't live as long so keep that in mind.
and of course i have not forgotten about the most perfect animal in the world: the himalayan. truly the ideal shape. the ideal size. the ideal "personality", if you can call it that. i think everyone needs a himalayan in their life. unfortunately though they don't have a lot of meat on them.
the other two cylindrical breeds, holicers and czech frosties, are having new/rare breed difficulties despite how pretty and meaty they are.
ultimately like...any breed is good. but if you have never bred rabbits and definitely haven't shown before, some are easier to get involved in than others. i started in mini lops and standard rex and i almost quit showing altogether because rex frustrated me so much lol. shifting to different breeds helped me realise the type of showing i enjoy doing (i am not particularly competitive though i enjoy having a little competition - but mostly the Projects are what i enjoy when it comes to rabbits) and the breeds that clicked with me. now, i ended up with two really awful ones, but i now have experience with spicy rabbits and have the knowledge and experience to know how to move forward with the project of hotots, which is very fun for me.
there aren't a lot of resources out there on how to get started and what you're looking for in showing rabbits unless you're in 4H, ARBA youth clubs, or are lucky enough to find a mentor. making it easy on yourself at first is the way to go (or at least have on easy and one harder breed.) that being said, i'm trying really hard to build some non-discord resources for people, especially adults, who are new to rabbits to help them. because genuinely, it's hard out there for us.
this was a real essay but clearly i love infodumping about rabbits and i have onions about showing as someone who started in my mid-20s.
anyway please get into rabbits

Went to the local indie music shop again today, and felt like...very much a halfling with one cross-class level in bard visiting the Dwarven Music Store.
I scan immediately for the nice dwarf who sold me my mandolin of course -- he plays the mandolin himself, in several human styles, not just the steppegrass that's so popular! -- but he isn't there. It's a Saturday: maybe he is playing dwarf-guitar in a gig with his anti-deathcult punk band.
The dwarf behind the counter greets me and asks what I'm looking for. "Picks!" I squeak, well aware that the only other customers, dwarves very at home in this milieu, are busy about the pick section. I station myself where the customer won't back over my woolly feet with his wheelchair when he's done with the picks, and wait. Counter-dwarf asks if I'm looking for anything in particular.
"Well, I'm a novice mandolin-player -- only started in February! I just got a mandolin method book, and the elf that wrote it has a whole section on pick selection. I realized I've only been playing with the one pick I got when I bought the mandolin -- bought it here, in fact!" I babble. "I have a few guitar picks I got at the same time, but I want to try a wider range, particularly with more of a point --"
“We carry one mandolin pick. That's the one there.”
“It is! It is the one I have, I mean. But, don’t you know? Many picks for dwarven guitars also work for mandolin. Metal strings, and all that. I have a list!” I brandish my list.
"You should get a felt pick. They're good for mandolins."
I look somewhat blank, I suspect. None of the online mandolin discussions have mentioned this and it sounds a bit specialized for a beginner. "Very interesting!"
A few minutes later, as I've collected a little stack of picks, I hazard to ask about a Gibson pick on my list, and infer from the dwarf glower accompanying "We don't carry Gibson" that that is a goblin brand.
Once again, the counter-dwarf scoots open a little drawer. "You should get a felt pick. Makes a mandolin sound DARK."
Dark for dark business. "Of course! Certainly! At once!"
I scurried home with my selection of picks and have not yet tried them, because obviously I had to sit down for a minute and have some tea.

TUX GUITAR WINDOWS 8 SOFTWARE
Guitar Fretboard Secrets – Visualize all notes on the entire guitar fretboard in 30 days – Udemy Course Link Which software is best for me? This is an extremely valuable tool to use for practicing. This is to set playback to repeat a section of the notation at a sset slow tempo, then upon each repetition, have it increase the tempo. There is one great feature that the two software programs on this page can do.
Convert between “traditional” Standard Staff Notation and TAB.
Create digital copies (such as pdf files) to share with others.
Output MIDI files to use with other software.
Use various synthesized instruments to alter the sound.
Make speed variations and add dynamics and articulations.
to run in console you need go to 'start menu -> excecute' and type 'cmd' (it will open a windows console) Go to the TuxGuitar folder: cd 'C:put correct pathTuxGuitar'. Here are some of the things that can be done: please run TuxGuitar in command line and post here the correct exception. Having your music in electronic form then allows it to be processed in some very useful ways. What TAB and Standard notation softwares do is to create an electronic representation of the Tablature, much like Word Processors do for the written word. Need 4-String TAB books or just want to download some TAB or Notation paper? It’s on this page.īoth TuxGuitar and Guitar Pro not only do TAB, but they also write Standard Music Staff Notation. Check out this really useful 6-String TAB book that has PAGE NUMBERS as well as CONTENTS pages. In it’s present form, TAB uses a number of lines representing the strings of the instrument, with numbers written on those lines representing the fret number. This is a very old system that has been around LONGER than standard notation.
TUX GUITAR WINDOWS 8 FOR WINDOWS 10
You can freeload Guitar Pro official latest version for Windows 10 in English.Probably most people who learn guitar will learn to use TAB or Tablature notation. The software is able to interact simultaneously with 256 tracks, plus four MIDI ports. If necessary, you can add special effects. The recording will be carried out on 8 tracks (1 percussion, 7 guitar). They can be recorded, make various records, export and import data. This software solution is used for the manipulation of scores. Guitar Pro for Windows 10 - A specialized program for those who want to learn how to play bass guitar, banjo.

IBOTW: LENNE
Introducing LENNE, the new project with Jim Taylor, Morgan Rose, and Lenny Cerzosie Jr.
NEW SINGLE “Letting You Down” OUT NOW via IMAGEN RECORDS can be downloaded/streamed at
  https://songwhip.com/lenne/letting-you-down
  Back in the early 2000’s, Leonard Cerzosie Jr. started a band with his brother called The Infinite Staircase that did very well as an independent band. the band worked with artists like Earl Slick from David Bowie’s band, Candlebox, Sevendust, and even Zakk Wylde. In 2009, they scored a slot on tour with Black Label Society, Sevendust, and Dope that sealed a lot of friendships they still have to this day.
“In 2010, the love of my life passed away suddenly. Pill overdose. It was a devastating time. She was only 27. Morgan Rose and I wrote and recorded the EP, No Amends that was a dedication to my love” says Leonard Cerzosie Jr.
He continues, “Over the years, I’ve had my hand in multiple projects. I formed “Le Projet” around 2013 that featured members of Candlebox, Sevendust, and The Infinite Staircase. I also joined the Baltimore band “The Mayan Factor” a few years ago and have toured with them in Mexico City and the states. During all this, my mother was diagnosed with ALS. One day- after performing a friend insisted on introducing me to someone. He was confident we needed to meet. That was the day I met Jim Taylor. We did get along immediately and have since been composing all sorts of music together.”
“When my mother passed away, Morgan got very involved with what was going on with me and my dad. He invited us out to his place in Atlanta multiple times. We started recording songs with Corey Lowery that would ultimately become “LeNNe”. We spent much time digging deep for the right lyrics and tones. There were multiple artists involved over the course of a few years, but the official line up is me and Jim led by Morgan” he adds.
“Lenne is one of the most real artists I’ve ever come across. He wears his heart on sleeve, and expresses vulnerability that hits you in the heart. I love how he tells a story. These songs are an emotional roller coaster into the mind of a tortured soul” says Morgan Rose.
“We are very excited to have Lenne on the Imagen Records roster. I can’t wait for everyone to hear the music” says Bob Winegard, President of Imagen Records.
“Letting You Down” is the first single to be released. The song features Leonard Cerzosie Jr., Morgan Rose, Jim Taylor, and Corey Lowery.
  Why did you pick your band name?
Lenny: It kind of picked itself. We had various musicians record with us. The only constants were me, Jim, and Morgan. So, a name for the project never seemed that urgent until Imagen was interested. We were writing very personal stuff & had no gimmick. Just naked. So, Morgan felt we should just call it “Lenny”. Plain and simple. We decided to change the spelling to differentiate from other artists like Lenny Kravitz, among other reasons.
  Anything you would like to share, from new merch to upcoming shows/tours or songs/albums?
Lenny: “Letting You Down” is just one of 5 singles we’re going to release over the next few months. Hopefully, we’ll release a full album after that. If a touring opportunity comes up this year, we’ll definitely jump on it.
  How do you describe your music to people?
Jimmy: Big melodious heavy hooks with an ambient soundscape.
  How do you handle mistakes during a performance?
Jimmy: Adapt depending on the situation but DON’T STOP altogether!
Lenny: Pretend it didn’t happen. Laugh about it later. Learn from it for next time.
  Do you get nervous before a performance or a competition? What advice would you give to beginners who are nervous?
Jimmy: ALWAYS!!! Take a step back, breathe, then give it hell!!
Lenny: Nervous every single time. Best advice is to be prepared. Practice. Know your material so well you can play it without thinking. It’ll give you confidence on stage.
  What type of recording process did you use? Who produced your recording?
Jimmy: We started recording these in Corey Lowery’s studio in Georgia, then headed to Jose Urquiza in Illinois for additional overdubs and vocals.
Lenny: The songs themselves didn’t have much pre-production. We did most of the writing “in studio” and recorded as we went. Morgan is credited as producer. His brain is a wild place.
  How often and for how long do you practice? What do you practice – exercises, new tunes, hard tunes, etc.?
Jimmy: It depends but it’s generally a couple hours a day and I tend to switch it up between keys, mando, or guitar. I have books I’ve used over the years with music theory and scales. I’ve also been developing odd patterns and repetitious exercises for practicing. A HUGE one for me is playing alongside Youtube playlists or our own mp3s and finding something different each time. Lenny: My practice habits depend on if I’m in home mode or show mode. If there are shows lined up, I strictly practice the material I’ll be performing. In downtime, I like fingerpicking classical acoustic stuff or running modes on the electric. Jim and I always say you should touch your instrument at least once a day. Pun intended.
  How does music affect you and the world around you?
Jimmy: Simply put,I cannot live without it.
Lenny: It’s been such an important part of my life for so long. I can’t even imagine not having it to escape to.
  How did you form?
Lenny: Introduced by a friend. Invited to Atlanta by another friend. Studio chemistry with a new friend. It was a few years of this particular group just getting together every so often to record music. It became a thing. There was a natural vibe. Sometimes a bit dark but always honest.
  Which instruments do you play?
Jimmy: I do my best at keys, mandolin and guitar and typically weird stringed instruments haha
Lenny: I’m just a guitar player. I’m only a singer in the rock world. lol
  Where do you usually gather songwriting inspiration? What is your usual songwriting process?
Jimmy: We jam from the gut and then take the pieces that fit for a particular song we jam out and Len constructs his vocals around that. The riffs that we cut away we throw to something else! Morgan has this way of not only his insanely brilliant drum patterns but these hooks and melodies that grab ya! It’s wonderful!
Lenny: Inspiration for songs typically come from life events. It can start as a lyric or a chord or riff. We usually hit the studio with some idea or maybe a set of lyrics. Everyone does it differently but with this particular project the songs are molded as they’re recorded.
  Who are your favorite musicians? Groups? CD’s?
Jimmy: Metallica, The Chieftains, movie composers like Henry Mancini, Ennio Morricone, Max Steiner, Junkie XL, Dire Straits, Floyd, In Flames
Lenny: Sabbath, GnR, Floyd, Tool, Alice in Chains, Pantera, BLS.. I really dig Blues Saraceno & Richie Kotzen, too. My guilty pleasure is Sarah Brightman. Ha!

au where eddie a violinist and richie plays guitar. richie hates classical music until he meets eddie and eddie hates loud rock music till he meets richie.
i am sorry this took so long but i have been a Busy Bee. this is also dedicated to @ilikemethestanbrough who wanted to hear about richie playing the guitar as well! i hope you both enjoy!
ok so here’s the concept: richie and eddie meet in the local music store
eddie’s buying a new bow for his violin, after his mom accidentally stepped on it after he left it out on the floor
richie’s in the guitar section, running his fingers over shiny electric guitars and admiring the metallic buzz of their strings
his dad bought him an acoustic guitar for christmas last year, a cheap starter model because u KNOW richie was the type of kid who went through a new phase every week and his parents have learned to wait until he committed before shelling out cash for nice things
anyway eddie’s mom is distracted talking to the shop lady about pricing for new carbon-fiberd bows and eddie wanders off, past the percussion and drumset section, running his hands over the songbooks for piano beginners, and finds himself in the guitar section
there’s a row of bass guitars with thick strings and a small selection of toy-instruments, like ukuleles, that eddie studies 
he wishes he could get a banjo or something and play along to the indie rock he listens to without his ma knowing
there’s a few mandolins tucked into the corners and eddie picks one up, light brown with a shiny neck
it’s close enough to a violin that it feels familiar in eddie’s hands, except he cant quite figure out how he’s supposed to hold it
“oi, need some help?” he hears behind him and whirls around, expecting to find a shopkeeper angry at him for touching without permission
but it’s just another high school kid, probably his age, with big glasses and wearing a hawaiian shirt
(like if buddy holly was a jimmy buffet fan)
“you’re holding it wrong you loon” the boy says, pointing at how eddie is trying to balance this mandolin on his shoulder like a fucking nerd
“i know” eddie snaps, bringing the instrument down to his side
his cheeks are alight and the boy only smiles at him, big and bucktoothed
“it’s like a guitar,” the kid explains patiently, taking the mandolin from eddie with careful but quick fingers, like he knows how expensive it is and doesn’t want to break it but is maybe too excited to stop himself from grabbing it fast, and loops the strap over his head
it rests near his chest, higher than a guitar, and his fingers stretch over the frets comfortably
he strums, ringing out with this pleasing high register and eddie falls in love with the mandolin immediately
anyway the boy plucks out a quick song, something folksy like idk man of constant sorrow or something and eddie is watching transfixed the whole time
because he’s always been fascinated by the guitar but knows his Ma would never go for it because “rock and roll is a slippery slope, eddie” but the mandolin is a cross between the guitar and violin and it sounds so twangy and beautiful and eddie can already hear the band in his head, a mandolin and maybe a flute and a guitar and a cello and it sounds so right
of course his ma has to ruin it
he hears her before he sees her, loud steps as she rounds the corner into the guitar room and spots him with some strange boy
“eddie!” she exclaims and he freezes, the boy looking up from the instrument and meeting his eyes
“i gotta go” eddie says quickly, brushing past him and trying not to anger his momma any more than he already has by wandering off
“wait” the boy says, pulling the instrument over his head and dropping it on the rack where eddie picked it up from “i’m richie!” he says and eddie wants to stay, wants to listen to richie play music for the rest of the afternoon but his Ma is tapping her foot and looking furious
so eddie leaves
he stays by his ma’s side as she hands money for his bow over to the shopkeeper, ranting about him wandering off the whole time and eddie wants to be remorseful because his ma’s got that wild look in her eyes she gets when eddie does something that scares her
but he just cant stop thinking about richie and the mandolin
when they finally walk out of the store, they round the corner and eddie looks in the window
richie is still in the guitar room, alone, and with a fender electric guitar over his head
he’s fake-strumming, wildly and like he’s some kind of crazy rock star
eddie makes himself look away, away from the boy with wild hair and a rocker’s heart
he tells his friend all about it the next day in orchestra, turning around from his second-chair violinists seat to talk to the first-chair cello, stan
“i’ve heard of mandolins before,” stan says thoughtfully, balancing his instrument on his chest “they’re usually for bluegrass”
“bluegrass” eddie says, wondering
and after school he bikes to the record store in town
“do you have any bluegrass?” he asks breathlessly and the shopkeeper points him towards the country section
and eddie finds himself in the sounds of bluegrass, in twanging melodies and a marriage of classic instruments playing unclassical songs
because in bluegrass all the musicians are talented yet unafraid to play poorly, more with style than grace
and he LOVES IT
he brings home records and waits until his Ma has her shows turned up really loudly and puts them on and practices the fingerings on his own violin, trying to learn complicated solos and I IV V blues riffs, stomp and holler fucking music and he tries not to sing along too loudly but it’s the kind of music that makes you wanna run around in a field and dance
anyway long story short eddie seeks richie out and they start a bluegrass indie band
richie brings in this rock influence, power chords and guitar solos, and eddie brings in classical influence in the way he maps out solos in his head and tries to have complicated chord structure
stan is their cello player and bill denbrough, richie’s friend, plays a small drum set
and eddie and richie together are a mandolin, high pitched and sweet
send me requests/headcanons/prompts!!!

From the Strategist: The Best Father’s Day Gifts for Dads Who Love Food

Father’s Day gift ideas for the home cook who has everything, from the Strategist
Finding the right gift for a dad who loves to cook can be tricky. You want a Father’s Day gift that’ll be useful yet unique, not something he already owns. That’s a tall order if your dad’s the kind of home cook who has everything, and it’s even more challenging if you’re not well-versed in the kitchen yourself. But don’t fret. Below, we’ve rounded up 25 Father’s Day gift ideas (many of which we’ve written about before) that we think any foodie dad — from the fine-dining aficionado who appreciates a malted Scotch to the dad who is gassed up for summertime grilling and chilling — would love to unwrap.
Tumblr media
Instant Pot 6 Qt 7-in-1 Multi-Use Programmable Pressure Cooker
If he’s still dragging his feet about hopping on the Instant Pot train, a Father’s Day gift of the perennially popular appliance might finally be what gets him onboard.
Tumblr media
Breville Joule Sous Vide
Maybe dad is already all-in on a pressure cooker. If so, a sous vide machine, which cooks meat and other food that’s been placed in a water bath (usually within a food-safe plastic bag), will take his home cooking to new heights.
Tumblr media
Marcato Atlas Pasta Maker
For the dad who’s all about hand-made pasta, this hand-crank machine comes from Italian company Marcato, which has been in the business since 1930.
Tumblr media
Maldon Salt Bucket
To make sure he doesn’t under-salt the pasta water.
Tumblr media
Whetstone Magazine, Annual Subscription
Dubbed the “next Lucky Peach” by Strategist contributor and cookbook author Priya Krishna, Whetstone magazine, which was co-founded by Stephen Satterfield and Melissa Shi, is a journal on food origins and culture, with an emphasis on storytelling.
Tumblr media
Tu Casa Mi Casa: Mexican Recipes for the Home Cook
Enrique Olvera’s collection of Mexican recipes for the home cook (recommended by a recipe developer) includes traditional and contemporary foods like chicken tinga, crispy potatoes, and quesillo flautas.
Tumblr media
Les Halles Cookbook: Strategies, Recipes, and Techniques of Classic Bistro Cooking
For the dad who watched all of Anthony Bourdain’s shows and misses his friendly but irreverent presence, the late chef’s first cookbook could be both a balm and a resource for new recipes.
Tumblr media
Benriner Mandoline Slicer
This is the upgraded version of the classic green mandolin slicer from Japanese company Benriner that chefs swear by.
Tumblr media
Mauviel Copper Butter Warmer
Flynn McGarry, the owner and head chef at New York City’s Gem restaurant, told us he loves to give this adorable copper pot to friends. A foodie dad would surely like it, too, and can use it to make sauces or heat up small portions of soup in addition to melting butter.
Tumblr media
Click and Grow The Smart Garden 3
If he doesn’t have the outdoor space to grow his own ingredients, dad can tend to them indoors with this expert-recommended herb garden that requires minimal effort, thanks to its built-in grow light and self-watering mechanism.
Tumblr media
All-Clad 4-Piece Stainless Steel Barbecue Tool Set with Storage Case
Pitmaster John Stage of New York City’s Dinosaur Bar-B-Que tipped us off to this four-piece stainless-steel barbecue tool set from All-Clad, which contains everything dad might need while manning his grill.
Tumblr media
Two-in-One Vertical Chicken Roasting Pan
This beer-can chicken roaster is a little silly-looking, sure, but pitmaster Nick Pihakis of Jim ‘N Nicks Bar-B-Q in Birmingham, Alabama, assured us that using a contraption like this is “one of the best ways to cook a chicken.” That’s because upright roasting is the optimal position to roast a chicken: “Fat drips away, heat surrounds the chicken 360 degrees, and skin crisps up better. This cooking method allows the steam and vapors to flavor the chicken from the inside cavity out, helping it to stay moist.” This version holds up to two five-pound birds and includes a pan to hold vegetables.
Tumblr media
Miyabi Birchwood 8-Inch Chef Knife
This luxury chef knife is a bit flashier than a more utilitarian Wüsthof or Global, with a super-polished wooden handle. According to Justin Devillier of La Petite Grocery in New Orleans, “it’s a total everything-you-do type of chef’s knife.”
Tumblr media
Wüsthof Classic 10-Inch Sharpening Steel
Maybe your dad prefers the utilitarian Wüsthof knives but already has the ones he needs. If so, give him the brand’s honing steel, which will allow him to keep his blades in good shape until he can take them back to a professional for a proper sharpening. (This of course would work just as well with any brand of knives dad may own.)
Tumblr media
Hario V60 Pour-Over Kit
This all-in-one pour-over coffee kit from Hario comes with a carafe and some filters, meaning it’s easy to approach for a beginner yet high-quality enough to use for years.
Tumblr media
Baratza Encore Electric Grinder
If dad’s serious about his coffee, then he’s going to need a serious grinder. The Baratza Encore conical grinder is one of the best out there — and was recommended to us by nine coffee experts. It has 40 grind settings, allowing dad to choose grounds for all the different kinds of brewing methods, from French press to pour-over to drip to cold brew.
Tumblr media
KitchenAid 1.25-Liter Electric Kettle
This handsome electric kettle boils water in minutes and is made of easy-to-clean stainless steel.
Tumblr media
Breville One-Touch Tea Maker
Or, for dads who really love their tea, consider this smart kettle that Strategist contributor David Schwartz (a self-professed tea enthusiast) calls “groundbreaking.” Not only does it brew tea at precise temperatures depending on type of leaf and desired strength, it automatically removes the tea leaves by way of a robotic component, once the desired steep time has been reached. That means dad can walk away and get a perfect cup of tea without having to worry about over- (or under-) steeping.
Tumblr media
Stanley Classic Easy-Pour Vacuum Insulated Growler
As singer Jake Shears can attest, a growler like this offers dad more space for his drink of choice — whether that’s water, coffee, tea, beer, or a giant cocktail (which is what Shears uses his growler for).
Tumblr media
Crafthouse by Fortessa Professional Barware by Charles Joly Gift Set
Speaking of cocktails, this expert-approved barware set includes a shaker, muddler, strainer, and jigger — or basically everything a cocktail-loving dad would need to concoct his favorite beverage at home.
Tumblr media
Modern Innovations Wine Chiller
Your enterprising dad will appreciate this elegant-looking marble wine chiller’s multifunctional appeal: When it isn’t needed to serve his favorite bottle, dad can use it a utensil crock or a vase.
Tumblr media
Vacu Vin Wine Saver
The Vacu Vin is a sommelier-approved wine stopper that’ll keep an open bottle of wine fresh overnight. “Their vacuum seal really does help preserve delicate aromatics and flavors that are otherwise lost,” says Victoria James, sommelier and beverage director at Cote.
Tumblr media
Yeti Hopper M30
Yes, the Yeti Hopper is expensive for a cooler, but it’s the best on the market, and doesn’t your dad deserve the best? It’s virtually indestructible and keeps food, drinks, and even ice cold for literally hours.
Tumblr media
Philips Indoor Smokeless Grill
We first spotted this grill on Netflix’s Queer Eye and quickly became intrigued. Meant for indoor use, it features an infrared light to heat the grill and a drip tray that stays cool, which prevents smoke from forming.
Tumblr media
Cuisinart AirFryer Toaster Oven
Here’s another nifty appliance that this writer swears by: It’s an all-in-one toaster oven–air fryer that does way more than even its multi-hyphenate name suggests. Not only does it toast and air-fry, it also broils and bakes — even convection cooks — at the turn of a dial, saving time (and counter space) in the kitchen.
Tumblr media
Thermapen Mk4
The Thermapen Mk4 is the best gift to give the home cook who has it all. It’s easy to use and gives superaccurate readings in a matter of milliseconds.
Tumblr media
Stasher Reusable Silicone Bag Starter Kit
This set of seven reusable silicone bags from Stasher includes just about every size dad will need, so he can use the money he’ll save on disposable Ziploc bags to … buy you a gift to repay the favor.

A Guide To Play Mandolin-Brief Note
Millions and millions of people around the globe want to learn how to play mandolin but only a small percentage of these beginners are successful and can play some decent mandolin riffs or songs. The rest of them are either dreaming to be a mandolinist but don't want to spend energy, time and money, or learning mandolin the wrong way. If you think that taking the private mandolin course costs you a lot of time and money and still getting nowhere, you'd better forget about it and look somewhere else. If you searched all over the internet and learned the mandolin yourself by referring to lots of mandolin guidance's, tablatures, notes, scales and chords but still had no idea how to relate all of them and improvise in order to make musical sense, you'd need to stop wasting your resources too. There is always a better way to learn the mandolin. You don't have to do it the hard way.Have a look at mandolinbrands for more info on this.
Tumblr media
So what is the most fun, time-saving, effective, economical and easiest way to learn mandolin? The professional online mandolin course. You may have heard of this before but your concept about it may be wrong. It's not some low quality and free mandolin lessons that you can find on the internet. It's an all-in-one, high quality, well-organized and affordable mandolin course. Some of them are web-based where you can learn mandolin online in front of your PC while others come with DVDs, books and CDs. Both types of courses include instructional videos, chords library, mandolin tabs, jam tracks, sheet music, online mandolin community forum etc. If you would like to have a metronome or tuner, a few of the courses provide free metronome and tuner software.
youtube
So basically, you don't have to waste your time searching for each and every item on the internet yourself; instead, you can start to learn mandolin as soon as you have the access to the course. In my opinion, it's practically the same as private mandolin lessons and better than mandolin class where the teacher is unable to pay full attention to you because there are other students in the same class. Most mandolin class only lasts for an hour so by the time the teacher gets around to showing you the lesson is over. While you can have all the attention you need in private mandolin lessons, it's relatively more expensive than online mandolin lessons. If you're on a tight budget, you may consider the latter as the better option.

Bellingham Folk Festival
It’s been a solid week of music. We had our Bring Your Own Guitar session on Wednesday at Empire Ale in Mount Vernon, followed by the Bellingham Folk Festival this past weekend. I had a great time learning new things and meeting other musicians in the area. There were even a few connections with folks from back home. That’s quite a bit for one post, but I’ll try to wrap it all up here.
I learned about the Bellingham Folk Festival last fall. After checking the online schedule I decided that it would be a good thing to attend, so I ordered my weekend ticket right away.
Of course, life tends to get in the way of well-laid plans. The Wednesday before the festival our cat Cosmo got sick and had to be taken to the emergency vet. He had a urinary tract blockage and also had a problem with his eyes. When we got him back we had pills and eye drops to administer. I didn’t want to leave it just for Laura to handle, so I had to cut back on some of the evening activities I might have otherwise attended. (Cosmo’s doing very well and recovering, BTW. He has to be on a special diet from here on out, though.)
Day One
The event was held at the Bellingham Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. I found my way to the venue Friday afternoon and got signed in, then awaited the first session.
I was a bit concerned. The “classrooms” listed on the schedule were small Sunday School rooms. I was afraid these would be overcrowded nightmares once everyone arrived. I was glad I had staked out a spot early.
The first session was on fingerstyle guitar, led by Jamie Stillway. From the few riffs she played I could tell that she was a fantastic musician, but she didn’t dwell on her own skills. Rather, she took us through a series of scales and techniques to enhance our own skills. It was a great way to start the festival.
From finger picking I went to flat picking. This workshop was with Eli West, a multi-instrumentalist and singer. As with the previous session, the workshop leader was excellent in his field. However, his workshop felt more like a demonstration than hands-on. Even so, it was still a great experience. So far things were getting off to a great start.
I decided to stay for the evening showcase, to be held in the “upside boat” – the main auditorium of the Fellowship. First up was a trio of young fiddlers that call themselves Crossbow.
They were joined onstage by a guitarist and their teacher, Cayley Schmidt, who runs the Bellingham Folk School and is the driving force behind the festival. They started playing a tune I recognized, a Finnish lullaby called “Venjan.” As they played other fiddlers and musicians filled in and lined the walls of the venue, joining in with Crossbow on the tune. These new musicians were other students of Cayley’s as well as members of the Slug Jam. The effect was quite lovely.
I stayed to hear Eli West perform, but during intermission I called Laura and she really needed some assistance with the cat. Plus, I had somehow missed dinner completely, so I figured it was time to call it an evening.
Day Two
Knowing how crowded things got in those tiny rooms on Day One, I decided to get an early start. I was at the venue when it opened at 9:00 and in place for my first session at 9:30. I was also more heavily armed, carrying both my guitar and banjo.
First up was a rhythm guitar workshop with Mark Kilianski. This was another excellent workshop. Mark showed us some of the differences between playing rhythm for Bluegrass as opposed to traditional Old Time music.
So far the guitarists had pretty much stuck together and we were getting to know each other. It was great learning about their backgrounds and their goals for this festival. It was also fascinating to see the variety of guitars folks brought along. I have a very nice Martin guitar, but I felt out-classed, like I’d picked up a generic instrument at Best Buy or Sears. There were some high end instruments hand-made by local luthiers from exotic woods and materials like carbon fiber.
So far I felt OK with my skill level and ability to keep up. However, that was all about to change as I headed to my next session. Jack Dwyer was conducting a workshop on fiddle tunes for 3 finger banjo.
I’m primarily a keyboardist and vocalist. I think of scales in a linear fashion. That also carries over for guitar…mostly. However, when it comes to the banjo all bets are off. I can do clawhammer fairly well, but when it comes to picking I get completely confused. I had a terrible time keeping up.
We had a lunch break and I was glad I had brought a sandwich. That gave me the chance to listen to some of the folks jamming in various rooms.
The next session after lunch was the first true disaster of the festival. It was listed as an “Old Time Music Class” led by Janie Rothfield and Nathan Bontrager of Hen’s Teeth. To understand what went wrong versus our expectations it would help to have the description of the session.
[blockquote]Come join Janie and Nathan from Hen’s Teeth and learn to play a song and tune or two from the American Appalachian Old Time Tradition and how to play and sing in an Old Time Stringband setting. Acoustic string instruments (such as fiddle, mandolin, clawhammer banjo, guitar, bass) and singers are welcome. For intermediate level musicians who can play at a moderate tempo.[/blockquote]
First, even though it was in the largest of the “classrooms”, it was jam-packed and overcrowded. I had both my guitar and banjo set up in their stands, hoping to get a chance to play. There were instruments of all varieties, but I think I was the only one with two set up. Even after the session started people kept trying to squeeze in, only to disrupt the proceedings. The upshot was that I couldn’t easily escape, even though I really, really wanted to.
The session was terrible. Nathan Bontrager just had us chant various rhythms to understand the rolls of instruments in a string band. That was all well and good, but could have been done in 10 minutes – not 45 minutes. When we did finally pick up instruments it was to play a single chord while Janie improvised on top of it. We didn’t learn any new tunes, and it was a complete waste of time. Arrgh!
My next session was supposed to be a clawhammer workshop and I had been looking forward to it. However, it was taught by the very same Nathan Bontrager who had us chanting interminably. Even though it was the only clawhammer workshop of the weekend and would have probably been different, I wasn’t willing to give him a second chance.
Instead, I had two alternatives. There was a “Slower Than Dirt Beginner Old-Time Jam”, but with the Slug Jam I’d been to enough slow jams. I wound up going to a session entitled Community Gospel Singing, conducted by Louise Ledford and Allegra Ziffle.
Louise Ledford is a singer/song writer based in New Orleans. He led us through mostly African-American spirituals. Everyone participated and sang, and there was step-clap movement with some of the songs.
Overall the workshop was good, certainly better than the previous debacle. Even so, I had to laugh at a couple of things. First there was the frequent mention of the Gullah culture from my home state of South Carolina. The other was this whiter shade of pale audience without a single person of color in sight. To me it seemed that the workshop treaded a fine line between historical information and cultural appropriation.
The last session of the day was another flatpicking guitar workshop, this time with Mark Kilianski. As with his earlier workshop, Mark led us through a variety of styles, encouraging us to try each as he demonstrated them.
This time I didn’t stick around for the evening sessions. There was supposed to be a contra dance, but it had two things going against it. First, I wasn’t sure how well I’d dance having just come out of my boot with a torn Achilles tendon. Secondly, the music was provided by Hen’s Teeth, and I was still a bit irritated with them, enough so to call it a day and head home.
Day Three
Since the venue would be in use for worship services, Sunday’s sessions started at 1:00 pm. My first was another guitar session. John Hatton demonstrated ways for us to play Old Time Guitar in a string band. The session was similar to others I’d attended, but there were some new tips and tricks. What I liked most about the session was that Mark had brought along a fiddle player to playa tune as we provided the accompaniment. We got to see how these patterns fit into the overall scheme of things.
For the second session there were two more guitar workshops. There was one on finger picking and one on accompanying dance tunes. Since these looked very much like the sessions I’d already attended, I decided to go a different route. I went to a session entitled “Reinventing Pop Songs” led by John Roberts and Margo Murphy.
John and Margo showed us ways of playing older pop songs (in this case songs by Janis Joplin and Sam Cooke) in an acoustic pop style. This was more like our family jam sessions at home. It wasn’t restricted to guitars, either. There were ukuleles, and even a cello and harp. I asked the harpist if she was going to play those power chords in the Janis Joplin piece.
For the last session there wasn’t an instrumental workshop I wanted to attend. There was a guitar workshop for DADGAD tuning, but I just didn’t want to get started with that. Instead I went to a workshop on harmony singing lead by Amy Avery and Mark Kilianski.
Even though I was very familiar with the material, Mark and Amy did an excellent job. First they demonstrated different methods of harmonization, then they introduced us to a short song Mark had written. The attendees were divided first into two, then three groups and asked to provide various harmonies. It was a great session.
I chatted with Mark and Amy after the workshop. As it turns out, they are now living in Asheville and regularly play at Smiley’s Acoustic Cafe in Greenville. We exchanged contact info and said we’d have to look each other up when I get back to the east coast.
Once again I didn’t stick around for the evening showcase. I headed on back home to help Laura with Cosmo’s medicine.
Conclusions and Observations
Despite the one less-than stellar workshop, I had a great time and think it was well worth the money. I learned some knew things and met some great people.
At any activity like this that is somewhat out of the mainstream you get a lot of “intentional” people. They intentionally dress differently to attract attention, make themselves unique, whatever. I jokingly told Laura that I needed a pair of overalls and bowler hat for the festival, but I wasn’t far off the mark. Hats seemed to be the main way folks stood out, but mismatched alternative clothing and hairstyles also abounded.
The venue didn’t seem quite adequate. The small classrooms were overcrowded, there was no room for music cases and little for instruments, and maneuvering was difficult. While I appreciate the Bellingham Unitarians letting us use their facility, I just wish we’d had a bit more room.
Speaking of the Unitarians, I got amusement from a couple of things around the facility. There were signs posted outside of the bathroom encouraging people to use the bathroom where their gender identity is most comfortable. Large signs inside the bathroom declared this to be a fragrance-free facility. (The irony of these being in a bathroom was not lost on me.) Each classroom declared itself a “Nut Free Zone” (which I found to be debatable.)
While I agree with all of these things, but to me it seemed that the signs were meant less for information than to proclaim loudly, “Look how progressive we are!” I was particularly amused at these signs in one of the classrooms. New theology?
Finally, I felt like I’d spent more time hold an instrument than playing one. Some of the workshops were much better about this than others. I wish I had been able to take advantage of more informal meetings and jam sessions. With the tiny classrooms and space constraints I felt like I had to rush to each session to stake out a space so that I wouldn’t be left out. Perhaps having a larger venue might help. Even though I’d just spent a weekend immersed in music, I still went to the Celtic Practice Session at the Littlefield Center in Mount Vernon on Monday just to get my fill of playing.
Those are minor things, though. I know I won’t be back for this festival, but I would like to attend another one in our area like the Swannanoa Gathering or the John Campbell Folk School. We’ll have to see.

Photo: Retailers Father’s Day gift ideas for the home cook who has everything, from the Strategist Finding the right gift for a dad who loves to cook can be tricky. You want a Father’s Day gift that’ll be useful yet unique, not something he already owns. That’s a tall order if your dad’s the kind of home cook who has everything, and it’s even more challenging if you’re not well-versed in the kitchen yourself. But don’t fret. Below, we’ve rounded up 25 Father’s Day gift ideas (many of which we’ve written about before) that we think any foodie dad — from the fine-dining aficionado who appreciates a malted Scotch to the dad who is gassed up for summertime grilling and chilling — would love to unwrap. Instant Pot 6 Qt 7-in-1 Multi-Use Programmable Pressure Cooker If he’s still dragging his feet about hopping on the Instant Pot train, a Father’s Day gift of the perennially popular appliance might finally be what gets him onboard. Breville Joule Sous Vide Maybe dad is already all-in on a pressure cooker. If so, a sous vide machine, which cooks meat and other food that’s been placed in a water bath (usually within a food-safe plastic bag), will take his home cooking to new heights. Marcato Atlas Pasta Maker For the dad who’s all about hand-made pasta, this hand-crank machine comes from Italian company Marcato, which has been in the business since 1930. Maldon Salt Bucket To make sure he doesn’t under-salt the pasta water. Whetstone Magazine, Annual Subscription Dubbed the “next Lucky Peach” by Strategist contributor and cookbook author Priya Krishna, Whetstone magazine, which was co-founded by Stephen Satterfield and Melissa Shi, is a journal on food origins and culture, with an emphasis on storytelling. Tu Casa Mi Casa: Mexican Recipes for the Home Cook Enrique Olvera’s collection of Mexican recipes for the home cook (recommended by a recipe developer) includes traditional and contemporary foods like chicken tinga, crispy potatoes, and quesillo flautas. Les Halles Cookbook: Strategies, Recipes, and Techniques of Classic Bistro Cooking For the dad who watched all of Anthony Bourdain’s shows and misses his friendly but irreverent presence, the late chef’s first cookbook could be both a balm and a resource for new recipes. Benriner Mandoline Slicer This is the upgraded version of the classic green mandolin slicer from Japanese company Benriner that chefs swear by. Mauviel Copper Butter Warmer Flynn McGarry, the owner and head chef at New York City’s Gem restaurant, told us he loves to give this adorable copper pot to friends. A foodie dad would surely like it, too, and can use it to make sauces or heat up small portions of soup in addition to melting butter. Click and Grow The Smart Garden 3 If he doesn’t have the outdoor space to grow his own ingredients, dad can tend to them indoors with this expert-recommended herb garden that requires minimal effort, thanks to its built-in grow light and self-watering mechanism. All-Clad 4-Piece Stainless Steel Barbecue Tool Set with Storage Case Pitmaster John Stage of New York City’s Dinosaur Bar-B-Que tipped us off to this four-piece stainless-steel barbecue tool set from All-Clad, which contains everything dad might need while manning his grill. Two-in-One Vertical Chicken Roasting Pan This beer-can chicken roaster is a little silly-looking, sure, but pitmaster Nick Pihakis of Jim ‘N Nicks Bar-B-Q in Birmingham, Alabama, assured us that using a contraption like this is “one of the best ways to cook a chicken.” That’s because upright roasting is the optimal position to roast a chicken: “Fat drips away, heat surrounds the chicken 360 degrees, and skin crisps up better. This cooking method allows the steam and vapors to flavor the chicken from the inside cavity out, helping it to stay moist.” This version holds up to two five-pound birds and includes a pan to hold vegetables. Miyabi Birchwood 8-Inch Chef Knife This luxury chef knife is a bit flashier than a more utilitarian Wüsthof or Global, with a super-polished wooden handle. According to Justin Devillier of La Petite Grocery in New Orleans, “it’s a total everything-you-do type of chef’s knife.” Wüsthof Classic 10-Inch Sharpening Steel Maybe your dad prefers the utilitarian Wüsthof knives but already has the ones he needs. If so, give him the brand’s honing steel, which will allow him to keep his blades in good shape until he can take them back to a professional for a proper sharpening. (This of course would work just as well with any brand of knives dad may own.) Hario V60 Pour-Over Kit This all-in-one pour-over coffee kit from Hario comes with a carafe and some filters, meaning it’s easy to approach for a beginner yet high-quality enough to use for years. Baratza Encore Electric Grinder If dad’s serious about his coffee, then he’s going to need a serious grinder. The Baratza Encore conical grinder is one of the best out there — and was recommended to us by nine coffee experts. It has 40 grind settings, allowing dad to choose grounds for all the different kinds of brewing methods, from French press to pour-over to drip to cold brew. KitchenAid 1.25-Liter Electric Kettle This handsome electric kettle boils water in minutes and is made of easy-to-clean stainless steel. Breville One-Touch Tea Maker Or, for dads who really love their tea, consider this smart kettle that Strategist contributor David Schwartz (a self-professed tea enthusiast) calls “groundbreaking.” Not only does it brew tea at precise temperatures depending on type of leaf and desired strength, it automatically removes the tea leaves by way of a robotic component, once the desired steep time has been reached. That means dad can walk away and get a perfect cup of tea without having to worry about over- (or under-) steeping. Stanley Classic Easy-Pour Vacuum Insulated Growler As singer Jake Shears can attest, a growler like this offers dad more space for his drink of choice — whether that’s water, coffee, tea, beer, or a giant cocktail (which is what Shears uses his growler for). Crafthouse by Fortessa Professional Barware by Charles Joly Gift Set Speaking of cocktails, this expert-approved barware set includes a shaker, muddler, strainer, and jigger — or basically everything a cocktail-loving dad would need to concoct his favorite beverage at home. Modern Innovations Wine Chiller Your enterprising dad will appreciate this elegant-looking marble wine chiller’s multifunctional appeal: When it isn’t needed to serve his favorite bottle, dad can use it a utensil crock or a vase. Vacu Vin Wine Saver The Vacu Vin is a sommelier-approved wine stopper that’ll keep an open bottle of wine fresh overnight. “Their vacuum seal really does help preserve delicate aromatics and flavors that are otherwise lost,” says Victoria James, sommelier and beverage director at Cote. Yeti Hopper M30 Yes, the Yeti Hopper is expensive for a cooler, but it’s the best on the market, and doesn’t your dad deserve the best? It’s virtually indestructible and keeps food, drinks, and even ice cold for literally hours. Philips Indoor Smokeless Grill We first spotted this grill on Netflix’s Queer Eye and quickly became intrigued. Meant for indoor use, it features an infrared light to heat the grill and a drip tray that stays cool, which prevents smoke from forming. Cuisinart AirFryer Toaster Oven Here’s another nifty appliance that this writer swears by: It’s an all-in-one toaster oven–air fryer that does way more than even its multi-hyphenate name suggests. Not only does it toast and air-fry, it also broils and bakes — even convection cooks — at the turn of a dial, saving time (and counter space) in the kitchen. Thermapen Mk4 The Thermapen Mk4 is the best gift to give the home cook who has it all. It’s easy to use and gives superaccurate readings in a matter of milliseconds. Stasher Reusable Silicone Bag Starter Kit This set of seven reusable silicone bags from Stasher includes just about every size dad will need, so he can use the money he’ll save on disposable Ziploc bags to … buy you a gift to repay the favor. from Eater - All https://ift.tt/2YBJGtD
