I think you should definitely go! Sure, bring resources, but also bring an open mind and big ears. It'll be a great time, you'll hear lots of great music, and I'm sure the workshops will offer lots...

I'll hopefully be there...
The correct answer is: all of them.
I have found the Behringer equipment to be pretty good for the price - and as far as the most important factors in a good recording, the first thing to think about is mic placement, not a fancy mic...
Can you have bluegrass without music? :)
The guitar is rhythmically pretty important to bluegrass music. I think you might get tired of playing without one after a while, unless your guitar player...
this was probably the best festival experience I've ever had - amazing music - great weather - awesome people - Greyfox is an awesome event...
Jam does not equal Phish. BTW I'll be going to see them tomorrow night at SPAC! Awesome band with more than a little bluegrass in their background.
So, here. Might as well have at least one bit...
oh yeah. I'll be there.
"learn to listen and listen to learn" - sometimes it's better to shut up and listen. Get your own gig if you want one.
check out Andreas Transo if you get a chance - not a mandolin player but he's got a heck of a voice and great taste in songs...
might be stone coal - alternate tuning on the mandolin...
that sounds like a great project. wish I had some money to give. :(
nice nice nice.
not really the same stuff at all... just very skilled musicians able to change gears and make it look really effortless... but cool video.
good question - I use the 10-7-8-5 a lot in Bb, but usually just use the 5-3-x-x because I like the way it sounds. There's no real wrong way to do it, just what seems to fit with what you're doing....
yeah that bit at the beginning would be pretty tough to copy - nice and weird though - kind of sounds like something Frank Wakefield or some old timer might do - cool.
Wow that's a cheap mandolin.

Just found another copy of this, and I've been wearing it out!!! Here's a review I did for my blog - enjoy!
Bill Monroe's Southern Flavor provides a useful reference for contemporary bluegrass...
a prominent bluegrass scene - kind of a contradiction in terms?:)

give muleskinner blues a listen sometime...
very nice article. thanks. big trey fan.
don't forget, "go find people that play bluegrass, and hang out with them, and don't be obsessed with the music... enjoy yourself..."
The idea that bluegrass comes from one tree is just nuts! It's grass, not a tree. :)
I'll be down there... Can't wait...
