Hey, at the CMA awards show how bout that group Little Big Town?.......Just Kidding!!!!!!
Thanks Data Nick. Well, at least we still have Summer grass! Nice 3 day event with camping. Really nice. Summer Grass is located on a Tractor/steam engine museum so that makes it even more...
I remember them. I've seen them. It was John Hickman, the famous banjo player that was in the group. They were really good!

Also, California has some of the biggest Bluegrass festivals in the country..Strawberry music festival and Fathers Day festival at Grass Valley. Then there is Summer grass in San Diego.
Hey, I'm trying to find some history here! Anyway, my friend told me that a lot of folks were split on the Monroe rifts and wars so they took sides. I was amazed at the few people watching him...
Years ago about 1985 I saw bill Monroe at the Norco Bluegrass festival in So Cal. I noticed that there was only about 300 folks sitting down to watch the Father of Bluegrass. Many folks were just...
Jeff, get a Bill Monroe record and listen to a solo. Then get a Adam Steffey CD and listen to a solo. The super players of today are at a different level. I'm glad Bill started Bluegrass. Things...
Mike, you should give Taylor a listen....catchy tunes.
Some of you guys have a sense of humor but many of you do not. If I got a girlfriend at my age I would hurt myself and end up in the E.R.
Shaun. The great old mandolin players did not even come close to what the players like Adam Steffey or Sierra Hull can do today. I'm not knocking them. It is just a fact. Players have evolved . ...
I just realized that it just does not matter that the 3000 bluegrass players in America do not like the Band Perry! Millions of others do.
Taylor Swift is worth over 200 million. Someone likes her. America loves modern country music. They love the band Perry. . It has just evolved from sissy orange suits and high hair to normal...
Hey Mike, do you have a good possum chili recipe?
Holy Smokes! Walmart shoppers, this has been fun!
I think you folks can go back to your porch with your hound dog and sit in the rocker and sip your shine and coffee now. Later on you can grab a soda from the ice box that is sitting right next to...
I don't really think I wound things up. I just said I thought the song was good. I think they sing well. Holy Cow!
Holy Cow! One little post got four pages! I can not believe how so many of you guys made fun of the way the Band Perry looked the other night. Many of you guys grew up watching country singers...
I know it was a few days ago but I just watched a recording of the CMA awards and watched the band Perry sing "Gentle on my mind". Wow! A terrific version. And that young Perry lad can play the...
Some players are probably a bit miffed at this post. To many folks on this site (probably most) $5000 to $1000 is a ton of money to spend on an instrument. To many more, they own a high end dream...
When you mic your mandolin at a big bluegrass festival, does it really matter how expensive the mandolin is? I don't think so I've seen John Moore play several times with his Kentucky and he...
For me I feel I only need one good mandolin. My Weber Fern that I have owned for 11 years always does the job. I have an old Gibson Snake but I do not play it much. Fern plays like glass. Gibson...
Bocelli cannot read a note.
My 1923 Gibson snake smells like old, wet, smelly mildew socks left in the corner of the garage in a humid summer. And I would not have it any other way!!!!!! The old original case smells...
While a few builders have it as far as bass is concerned I think most of it is pure luck. A mandolin either has it or it does not. I have played really expensive mandolins that do not have it. ...
