All levels of players are welcome to come learn and play in a supportive environment. All acoustic instruments are welcome, though instruction will be on the mandolin.
· Where: Sandy Bar Ranch, Orleans, California

About the MandoJam & Sandy Bar Ranch
The idea behind the MandoJam is to provide an opportunity for acoustic musicians (especially, but not exclusively mandolin players) of various levels and styles to come together in a beautiful mountain setting and supportive environment. We hosted our first MandoJam in June of 2004 and it was a huge success. We keep the setup simple to keep costs down - lodging is in riverside cabins, hostel style, or camping. We will serve one meal a day and participants are on their own for the other two (good opportunity for potlucks with cabin mates and other cabins). Sandy Bar Ranch is located on the Klamath River in Northern California. We have four redwood cabins on the river and a 1 acre homestead where we grow a lot of our own food. You can check out our website at www.sandybar.com Anyone who has been to the Klamath River in Northern Humboldt County knows how uniquely beautiful this corner of California is. We are in the middle of the Six River National Forest and close to 4 wilderness areas - Siskiyou, Marble Mountain, Russian and Trinity Alps. We're right on the Klamath River, which offers swimming, fishing & rafting, and just 7 miles from the Salmon River, which has world class kayak runs and some of the best swimming holes anywhere.
About Radim Zenkl
Radim is an eclectic artist who has mastered a wide range of styles including Bluegrass, Swing, Flamenco, Celtic, Jazz and Eastern European. In addition he has developed a completely new approach to playing the mandolin that incorporates open tunings, finger picking and chord melodies. In August '04 I attended the Mandolin Symposium, which was taught by David Grisman, Mike Marshal, Chris Thile, Radim Zenkl, Don Steirnberg and Mike Compton. I'm pleased to say that Radim was one of the best instructors among them. He has a methodical, hands-on approach to teaching that starts with the basics and builds in complexity so that he does not leave beginners behind, yet is able to offer new insight and technique to more advanced players. We will divide the group into two levels, if necessary, so that Radim can better address players specific interests and capabilities.
Feel free to contact us with any questions. We hope to see you in at the MandoJam!
