THE ALBUM OF THE MONTH: CROSSING CRYSTAL LAKE BY Howard Emerson This month our "pickup and hold" telephone music (you hear it when you call us and you're put on hold or a few moments) features a brand new album by Howard Emerson,acoustic guitarist, titled Crossing Crystal Lake. Howard has, for decades, been known to many here in the New York music scene, having played second guitar with Billy Joel, Eric Anderson and other well known singer-songwriter-performers. During this time he developed his own multi-layered style of expressive, tuneful acoustic instrumentals, and for the first time on CD you can now hear 9 of these pieces, brilliantly recorded. This album, along with a few select others by performers who are "friends of Mandolin Brothers" (Aerial Acoustics, Murial Anderson, Big Cow, the Curtis High School Guitar Ensemble, Simon Mayor's mandolin albums and Rick Ruskin) can be purchased here, at the world's smallest CD department, or obtained from us by mail order. Howard's album is $13.95 each plus $3 shipping/handling (domestically) and/or local sales tax if it's a New York state transaction. 

If you haven't been to our  expanded showroom yet, what are you waiting for? We've added a spacious new "High End" room containing the rarest and most "ferry tisirable" Collings,  Gibson, Goodall, Grit Laskin, Martin, and Taylor vintage and  Brazilian rosewood guitars,dozens of fine archtops, D'Angelicos, D'Aquistos, high-end hand-made classicals, pre-1900 Martins,  a  1954 original Fender Stratocaster, '55 and '57 Gibson Gold Tops and a '60 Les Paul Standard , an "Electric Guitar" display room, 2 "Banjo and Resophonic Guitar" rooms, an "Electric Listening" room, and an exciting "Acoustic Amplification" test drive room! Now, more than ever, visiting the  Mandolin Brothers showroom is like no retail store experience you have ever had.  It's as comfortable as being home ( that is, if your house were stocked with many hundreds of exceedingly high quality, original fretted instruments) where the only rule is: you can play any instrument you like, as long as you like. 

The January '99 edition of the Vintage News Online,is just a click away! While you're visiting check out our sections on Appraisal Services and the Mandolin Brothers' Workshop. Those of the southpaw persuasion will want to check out our  LEFTY SECTION.And, whatever you do, don't miss our recently updated Links section: The Mandoweb Guide to the Acoustic Universe! 

For a free Mandolin Brothers catalog, simply send us an email with your name and address.   We'll be delighted to mail you a complimentary copy of our 76- page print catalog, featuring lotsa good stuff.

    

 

 

We hope you have a good time at the MANDOWEB. We'd rather see you in person, of course, so next time you are in the New York City Metro Area, take a bridge or ferry over to visit MANDOLIN BROTHERS.
