My 12 year old son is looking for a couple songs to play in Winfield Kansas this year, and has a one or two that he has ready, but is having trouble finding a couple more. How do most of you go about finding tunes to play in contests?

Thanks

Dave

Even though it does not address only your specific question, there is a lot of good information here. (http://www.johnmcgann.com/contest.html)

Jim, thanks for posting that. I went and read it and was inspired to get the metronome out. I'll be leaving it out for awhile!! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif Need some work there that's for sure. Dog gone Mcgann, always pushing the basics!! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

jbmando... thanks. We have read that recently, but it is always good to re-read. ALOT of good stuff there.

Was hoping for some input from folks on this board.
