Event Details

Those cute little xtranormal bears have been employed to give voice to just about every imaginable topic under the sun. Using a clever text-to-speak interface on their site, anyone can create a video with two characters engaging in conversation.

Extranormal user Mandoboy has a couple new ones that are hilarious – even if you aren’t a mandomaniac yourself. First up is this common discussion between a traditional and modern 8-stringer…

And a conversation between a mandolinist and a non-mando type…

Not to be outdone, John McGann (mandolin professor at Berklee) has his own take on the trad vs. modern mando debate.
