I'm partial to red....I'll leave it up to Frank. Should provide great mojo and provenance for resale.
What time is the sheep rodeo?
I think a better location for free beer and food is the Alexander residence located right within the festival stage area! Its closer than my site and has bathrooms too!
Tell Andy and Susan that Ray...
This year will be number 11 for me! Allways top notch jamming and stage show. Andy has a knack for getting acts just prior to them breaking through and also for getting veteran performers like Frank....
I have periodic favorites and shuffle them around. Heres the most recent faves....
Dixie hoedown
Leather Britches
Panhandle Co.
Cherokee Shuffle
Across the Big Sandy
Road to Columbus
Excuse me if I'm off on this, but I thought that David Harvey had worked for Gibson for several years allready?
Or is his position changed to head luthier from anouther spot?
Thanks
Radim Z. has my vote....
Best of luck Joe. I'll try to stop in when I get to Nashville next. Look forward to your website. We met a couple of times at the Roanoke weekends, had diner one night and picked a few with your son...
I had a blast! Spent lots of time jamming with John Reischman, Skip Gorman, Phil Zimmerman, David Surette, Dave R.(now I know who you are on the Cafe,Dave. It was great to meet you!). Rich Delgrosso...
David brought an f4/5 prototype to a Roanoke weekend camp that he was teaching in 2005 or 2006. It was a round hole with an f5 length neck and an elevated finger board.
I played it and it was...
There is a monthly jam at a bowling alley/ bar in Bennington, South of Darien Lake. Sponsored by the Western NY old time music assoc?
I haven't been in a couple of years, but had heard that it was...

Thanks Dave, I look forward to working on my Monroe licks and really want to get some good kick-offs down also.
See you there!
I've mailed in my registration form for the Mandolin Camp North this month on the 25th, 26th and 27th. Haven't been to a camp in a couple of years since Roanoke Weekend in 2005.
Anybody going or...
I sent my Bush down to Danny last month. We were talking about fret work and said that he likes the fatter fret wire on his MM.
Danny plays a MM with banjo or Bush size fret wire.
Thanks all. After playing for several hours last night, I've decided that a mandola purchase isn't right for me at this time. It sounds awesome and looks well built, but after playing with some...
I'm trying out a new Eastman Mandola for a week and wondered if anybody has tried one of these? Has great sound and plays well, but its the first 'dola that I've ever had in my hands. Wonder about...
I once put a brand new Flatiron A Artist in a small closet with my stereo speakers cranked up to try the same concept.
Didn't notice any change in the mando after half a day, so I gave up. Although...
This is sad....I've been going intermittently since 1984...seeing Emmylou Harris when it was the Berkshire Mt fest. I watched it grow as Winterhawk then to Greyfox with countless increadible...
I've got a 2003 Sam Bush that needs either leveling or replacement of some frets, and I'd like to have it set up also. I've heard good things about David Harvey, Lou Stiver,
Hans Brentrup,Sim...
Wow....I didn't know that he was ill...
His "High Country Snow" album (not cd) was played a lot at my house in the mid 80's. That album although it was not considered Bluegrass was what really...
I owned a blacktop Stiver F5 that I sold a few years ago to finance anouther purchase. It built in the late 70s and had a 1" nut. Lou refinished it for me and has also done some other repairs on...
I've got a set of tuners from a 1919 Gibson A. They are in excellant condition having been removed from a mandolin with very little wear, but a collapsed top.
Any Ideas on market value? I haven't...
Yeah, I agree that the original Gibby cases allow the instrument to rattle around too much. My snakehead has a mint orig. case. For travel, I put it in an F5 case that my Sam Bush came in. The...
