Good stuff from Homespun

The BIB editor reports:

As we mentioned on 27 June 2009, Homespun Tapes are running a continuing series of sales from their immense stock of instructional material. To take advantage of their most recent sale, ending a week ago at midnight on Monday 28 September, I ordered on Monday morning a copy of the 2-DVD set The mandolin of Bill Monroe.*

The set has just reached me by airmail from the US; thanks to Homespun for this speedy dispatch. If you want even faster delivery, Homespun can send material online to your computer.

*Why, when I'm not a mandolin player? Because (thanks to Martin Cooney) I'd seen the set before and consider it essential viewing for anyone who likes Bill Monroe's music. Disc 1 (Monroe playing) can be bought separately from disc 2 (Sam Bush explaining how it's done), but the latter includes a booklet of music and tab.
