I'll be there. I'm running sound for the creekside stage this year so my daytime will be pretty busy, but I hope to still be awake enough to pick at night.
Fred, it looks like I'll be running sound on the Creekside stage this year so I'm sure I'll see you. Should be a good lineup!
While it's true the music Della Mae plays is largely not bluegrass and so they are not marketed as such, I can tell you that the musicians themselves are all quite familiar with and able to play...
I'm sorry if this discussion is ruffling feathers, although I'm not entirely sure why. I never said playing in B is the key to mash, actually I outlined a few things of what I believe makes up the...
*1983.... not 1993 as I said above. Whoops
Definitely not thrash or any form of jam.... but those are both really really far removed from "mash". Mash usually is hard driving. And that is old...
You're right Alan, I'm not sure why I said that. Still in 1993 though.... Vasser, Josh Graves and Marty Stuart on the mandolin.
I've been using these since last summer and I'm a big fan. It really does seem like the perfect blend of the thicker E and A which I love for driving the top of my Macica, and the D and G which...
I think it's been pretty well covered by now, but Mash to me is predominantly a rhythm thing. The mando chop is important, but I don't think the sound is possible without the rhythm guitar and bass...
I've played a couple of Loars and a Fern. One was hands down the best mandolin I've ever played, just dripping with mojo and "ancient tones". The others have been pretty good, but not the best I've...
Cory is a beast, and a super nice guy. Before he ever played with the sleepy man banjo kids he was playing mandolin for Kenny and Amanda smith... it's nice to see him/them getting some national...
This thread hits home right now - I've played on a BC for the past 2 years without looking back. I've managed to hang on to the one pick I have by only ever keeping it in the instrument in it's case....
Are you on Shelly's crew? I'm working the main stage as well - setting it up on Tuesday and tearing down Sunday with a few shifts in between, although I don't know when those are just yet. Hope to...
I was surprised not to find this already mentioned somewhere on the forums... Jesse Cobb (former mandolin player from The Infamous Strindusters, and one of my favorite mando wizards) has been...
I'll be there, volunteering on the stage crew for the first time. Is anyone putting together another mandolin meetup? I've had fun there in other years, but forgot the time and missed it last year!...
I may or may not have grabbed 3 - planning on getting a new case soon, need to have my sticker collection ready! Thanks again for the Sorensen hat Steve, was great seeing you again and picking some...
I'll be there Wednesday through Saturday... after hearing so much about Raleigh last year I figured I should check it out. I had fun in Nashville 2 years ago, and everybody says that was nothing...
Well I am a Grillbillie so I tend to be over there a lot, but as far as I know I've never seen many other mandolin cafe folks over that way. The Mandolin Cafe usually does a meet & greet which has...
Just posted about the meet & greet in the jam and meetup page, then saw this thread here. I'll be there once again, looking forward to it!
Hey folks, It's been a while since I've posted on here but with Grey Fox just around the corner I figured I'd see if anyone was up for doing the mando meetup as we've done in years past. I know I've...
Spoke with Harry up at Jenny Brook, according to him attendance was down this year. I guess the daytime traffic was actually pretty good, but weekend tickets were down. I would guess the pouring rain...
Spott on Matt! I enjoyed hearing you guys practice Joy Kills Sorrow at Joe Val... the Gil sounds great!
Lots of bluegrassers (myself included) play A styles. I've never once been called out on it at any festival or picking party I've been too, and I'll tell you what the pros don't care either way when...
Cee Cee - as a long time friend of Martin Macica and an owner of one of his instruments I'd be remiss if I didn't throw his name into this conversation. I know his signature "slant" on the classic F5...
I have an Allen on mine, and I really like it for that mandolin - very solid and seems to match the almost art-deco styling elements on my A style. The first time or two it did take me a a little...
