Really disappointed to learn this. Did the organizers say why? Hoping Bob and family are OK.

Perfect - that will get me started and I can go from there.

Has anybody worked out the tab for the Yonder Mountain String Band's cover of Dancing in the Moonlight - it just knocked me out first time I heard it and I would really like to learn how to play the...

That actually was how I purchased my current mando - a Kentucky KM-650. I had my heart set on a Weber Bitterroot, although I was stretching to afford it. My buddy came to Fiddler's Green with me,...

Wish I could find one. I heard it on Bluegrass Junction and like the arrangement. I was hoping for liner notes from someone. Here's the YouTube, but it's not video of him playing, so no help...

Anybody know who is playing with Sam Bush on the instrumental version of Sleigh Ride?

Absolutely - after playing guitar for 30 years (poorly) I picked up the mandolin, and then after playing mando for 3 or 4 years picked up the 6-string again and discovered additional voicings and...

Take a page from Doyle Lawson - work up a couple of a capella numbers with 4 part harmony - that is not only fresh, it will really make you listen to each other to balance your voices.
I am in a...

OSM'13 was a blast. It was flippin' cold at night, but the music was smokin'. Lone Star Swing kicked it off in grand fashion, and Paul certainly brought his A-game. For new bands, I especially...

Old Settlers Music Fest is next weekend - anybody else planning to go?

I'll be down in the campground jamming when I'm not listening - looking forward...

Reading all this , I just have to share a funny typo I encountered yesterday - at a core team meeting where I received my 'official' instructions for what my duties are as music leader for an...

I'm in the same region as George, and I agree about here the majority of jam fodder is songs (and in my neck of the woods, they tend to be 50 year old country songs at that). When they do tunes,...

More's the pity, but from 6th grade on here in Texas, the objective of the school's Band program is to teach students to play in , well, band - not to trust their ear, not to improvise. If a student...

I'm definately bummed about losing Artz - the food was good, and the jam was friendly! I sure hope we find another venue soon!

Is anybody else having trouble loading the Mandolin Cafe catalog? I just updated the Homespun MOD software, and it launches the website OK, but when I try to download the catalog, the page loads...

I camped on the Creekside, and did most of my jamming there with all the folks camped next to me. Since I forgot to pack a sweatshirt, by about 11 o'clock it was dark and I was cold so I crawled...

Ya'll missed a good time- Ben was there, really going to town on his Ellis - a good time was had by all in attendance.

Thanks for posting- helped me figure out the missing D run for a song I"m working up!!

This is a fascinating thread - applying education theory to self- teaching -and it really requires you to step outside of yourself and try to analyze exactly what it is that you are doing as you...

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect users to pay attention to the specified categories and post to the appropriate location. I think you're fighting a losing battle, and in for a lot of...

Totally agree with you Reid - I have played guitar for more than 30 yrs now, but never more than mediocre- just enough to accompany group singing. Took up mandolin 6 years ago, and now I switch back...

I'll be back in town June 14 - I bet that's the wrong Tuesday, isn't it.:(

I beg to differ - I was in middle school/high school back in the 70s- if you gave me the choice, I'd rather take my chances swimming in a tank of hungry sharks or be forced to listen to hours of...

Is this a regular bi-monthly jam? :crying: I'm in PHX for business this week - now I wish I'd brought my mandolin in carry-on. If i come back later this summer, I'll be sure to bring it with me.

As long as I can hang out under the same overpass with them...
