Instruction Book
	"Duo-Style A to Z: A Comprehensive Method for Solo Mandolin in Duo-Style, from Entry Level to Artist Level" Spiral-bound book with Companion CD by Evan J. Marshall, Master of the Mandolin Evan Marshall has mastered the Duo-Style Solo Mandolin technique -- a way of playing the melody, as well as the accompaniment, simultaneously, by one person on one mandolin. At the conclusion of thirteen lessons, he has included his arrangement "Joyful Variations on a Theme of Beethoven" which makes full use of all the technique Evan presents in this book. Truly an educational tool that will teach and teach more, as the instrumentalist will discover. 40 pages, in tab and standard notation. Available for purchase online at Elderly Instruments

	Evan Marshall is the LONE ARRANGER 1995/Rounder Records #0338 Produced by Evan J. Marshall When we last left our hero, he had blazed new trails and explored heretofore uncharted territory with his CD, "Mandolin Magic". Here, now, is a collection of his further adventures on the mandolin frontier, chronicles of a champion of the plucked string and the art of musical transcription.

	Mandolin Magic 1990/Rounder Records #0273 Produced and Engineered by David Grisman What sounds like a small choir of mandolins playing bass lines, chordal accompaniment, and tremolo melodies is in fact nothing except Evan Marshall all by himself. Which would not mean much in this Age of the Overdub except for one astounding fact: Marshall plays all this music live, at once, on one mandolin, with no overdubs at all. That's four tiny pairs of strings and one flatpick, plus a stray finger or ten. These feats of the impossible are something like what Chet Atkins does on guitar -- Atkins, in fact, commended Marshall as "one of the few great musicians of our time." Produced and engineered by David Grisman.

	Tone Poets 2005- Acoustic Disc - Various Artists - Review by James Christopher Monger Produced and recorded by mandolin/bluegrass legend David Grisman, this two-disc set collects 31 recordings made over the span of four years by some of acoustic music's most talented practitioners. Recorded on the same two instruments (a 1922 Gibson F-5 mandolin and 1933 Martin OM-45 guitar) to a 1/2" two-track analog tape machine, and utilizing no equalization, it's up to the performer to set the dynamic. This is not just a showcase for the instrument, it's a challenge to the players, and whether it's improvised Eastern European blues (Frank Vignola's "Gypsy Playland") or a strict interpretation of J.S. Bach (Mike Marshall's "Corrente in D Minor"), these "tone poets" make each delightfully organic track absolutely electrifying.
