I love the mandolin, and I'd love to play one regularly, but they are just too small for my fingers. I play guitar, and that's enough to keep me occupied for life.

I was in a great band as a kid, and on our way to gigs, one of our guitarists would strum the mandolin from the shotgun seat, and we'd all sing along, and practice our harmonies. I remember doing that, smiling wide, and thinking it was the most fun I'd ever had in my young life. Easily one of my favorite teen memories.
