Can't find the info on the web site. Where do I click for more info? Do I need tix? And most importantly, can I bring beer?

p.s. Scotti, will BRW #6 be in attendence, I'd love to take a look at it. I'm thinking about getting on the list, but not seriously until I can play at least one or two.

[mzbanjo]

Nevermind, I typed in metropark.com not parks, so I found it.

[Scotti Adams]

..try this # http://www.metroparks.org/Facilit....rk.html (http://www.metroparks.org/Facilities/Island_MetroPark/island_metropark.html) # # #yea..I can bring #6....I can also arrange for #11 to be there and maybe the most recent one, #35 to be there as well....Garry Huber....ya out there?...you should try to make this free fester...and bring #35 with you..

[Bradley]

Scotti,

I will round up Garry Huber to see if he can make it....He and I live close.I will bring along the Steffey and I promise not play it too hard so you BRW boys can hear yours http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[garryh]

Yea..I'm here in the shadows...I'll bring #35 along. Bradley, I'll be in touch.

[Scotti Adams]

..great..I look forward to meeting you Pearl and seeing you again Garry...and taking a look at that Steff.....let the good times begin http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif...and if Ethan is reading this maybe he can make plans to bring his #30...

I can't make it to Central KY for Military leave until @ 21 July, so I'll miss this extremely rare opportunity. Everybody go if you can. I just returned from the Cleveland GA Festival and saw LRB among 10 or so other TOP dog groups.

If you mando monsters missed this one, I'm sure sorry. Alan Bibey, Alan Purdue (SP??) David Grisman, Adam Steffey, Doyle Lawson, John Wesley Lee, Ricky Skaggs, Andy Leftwich, Jeff Parker, Ronnie McCoury, Shane Bartlett, and many other Mando gurus.

Tell Jeff Parker that Jeff Dodson says howdy if you go to the Ohio show. He'll probably let you check out his Steffey Model (#18, I think).

Take it easy.

[Scotti Adams]

..Will do Jeff...Parker is a cool cat..last time I seen him he had the Steff in tow but was playing his old trusty F12...which is probably the best sounding 12 Ive ever heard...

Any suggestions on where to stay/camp that's near dayton? to the north is preferable (have to drive back to michigan on sunday)

thanks

..whos all coming?

[mzbanjo]

I'm planning on being there. I'm not sure you all are going to want to bring your BRWs after all. It's supposed to be a pretty rainy day, and if I'm not mistaken Scotti, doesn't #6 have a fear of water these days (that was your mando that got flooded right?)

[Scotti Adams]

..just a chance of hit and miss showers through out the day...no rain out. Just for clarification.....yes #6 did get wet...but not as bad as I had initially thought....she came thru just fine with just a little checking around the rims...GarryH see her recently he can back me.. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[mandoryan]

I'm gonna try and make it over there also. I'm gonna try and round up some Indy people to come over there. I can't wait to see...well all the bands esp. Tony Rice.

[mzbanjo]

Anyone who's going and planning on camping? I'll be at the dayton koa that Scotti mentioned above.

[Scotti Adams]

..I will be the guy carrying 2 blue chairs in a bag along with black Bobelock case and my fiance...we will have another couple with us....will be driving a red Rodeo...

[Scotti Adams]

..a couple of pics of T. Rice and LRB

[Scotti Adams]

one more..Rice as well as the LRB were sounding real good...T. was playing things that I aint never heard him play before...he hasnt lost a lick.

[AlanN]

Thanks for the photos, Scotti. How did that bass sound? Doyle has the same deal, with eyes closed, it's almost identical to a stand up sound...I did say almost!

[Scotti Adams]

..the bass sounded very good...Im trying to talk our bass player in looking into one....almost..as you said.

[Scotti Adams]

..I might add that Jeff Parker was playing his Steffey model that day...it sounded really good...better than most I have heard...which isnt saying those were bad...Jeffs just seemed to have some extra "woof" to it...

[Fretbear]

That's (just one of the things) that's good about being Mr. Tony Rice; even if you lose your great voice, there's a bunch of feller's lining up to do the singing for you!

[Scotti Adams]

..you can see the music stand there in front of Brandon.....had to read alot of the words to T's songs but he pulled it off really well. Brandon has really stepped up and filled some big shoes...including Ronnie Bowman and Tyminski's after they left LRB.....hes one of my new favorite sangers...
