Re: Great 48 in Bakersfield
Tres Cool...
Re: Great 48 in Bakersfield
Please excuse my ignorance, as I have never been to a Bluegrass gathering like that, but what exactly goes on at these things.
I live in LA and it is not that far to go, but I don't really know what to expect. Do people bring their instruments and just bump into others jamming?
Re: Great 48 in Bakersfield
People bring their instruments and wander through the hotel jumping in and out of jams that are pretty much going on all the time but with ever-changing participants...
Re: Great 48 in Bakersfield
Thanks for the insight. Sounds like fun.
I think I will wait until I am not a complete hack before attending.
Re: Great 48 in Bakersfield
As a complete hack I thoroughly enjoy it.
Re: Great 48 in Bakersfield
There are jams for every level of player and most are very welcoming. Even if you stay on the periphery and just chop rhythm it should be worthwhile to be part of it.

Re: Great 48 in Bakersfield
Is there a URL for Hotel Booking?
Re: Great 48 in Bakersfield
Just out of interest, how many people usually show up for this event?
If I were just going to drive up for one afternoon, what day would you suggest going for?
I live in LA, so it is not that far, but I can't really stay over as I have an old dog at home, etc...
Re: Great 48 in Bakersfield
You don't get more hacky than me and even I had a great time and would go back in a heartbeat (Eddie stil got room for me in the car?) So c'mon up.
Re: Great 48 in Bakersfield
Entire DoubleTree appears to be booked up already! Eddie, looks like you'll be having some roommates!

Re: Great 48 in Bakersfield
You can book rooms direct through the Doubletree Hotel local phone number - say you're with the Great 48 to get the special rate - code C-B48.
Re: Great 48 in Bakersfield
I'm thinking I might just drive up for awhile on Saturday. I have a baby shower I have to go to in Ventura on Sunday.
