Carl mentioned that he had started playing mandolin. Mike Roe loaned him his. He was good.

|
Mike Roe encourages Carl to enter the mandolin contest. He gets his checkbook and writes a check for the entry fee. Bob Korpi and Robert Yoxall look on.
|
Mike hands Carl the check.
|
Carl performed well in the mandolin contest, but not well enough to beat someone like Carlo Aonzo.
|
Carl also played well in the flatpicking contest, but not well enough to satisfy the judges this year.
|
Carl and Jim pack up the VW on Sunday and head for Oregon... and another year of practice.
