Great for Mike, I am glad he is no longer with that Elvis dude.
We're really excited to have them coming to Iowa. . . Been wanting it to happen for a while now.

Word is the Midwest shows are going very well... Well, tonight Mike and David will be in Madison, WI and its VERY likely we'll be sold out when all is said and done. We sold over 60 advance tickets...
If you were planning on coming to the show and don't have tickets, I'd get there as early as possible. Here's the info again...
Saturday, October 3rd @ 7pm
The Wil-Mar Center
953 Jenifer St, Madison, WI

See you at the show!

I hope they're coming my way! Grier was just out here though, and I was lucky enough to catch him solo at a house concert. Great stuff.

I've seen David Grier in action at the Roanoke Bluegrass Weekend and he is an amazing guitar player. Teamed up with Mike man it's gonna be one heck of a show. I wish I could see it! :mandosmiley:

I was at the St. Paul gig - what a great show (for about 60 people. ..)! I'll see Compton anytime/anyplace now, and would love to see Grier on his own. Since I picked up the instrument (2 yrs ago) I've had a goal of seeing each of the masters at least once, and so far, have seen Compton, Marshall, Ostroushko and Statman. Grisman will be here in December with John Sebastian, I think, so I'm making pretty good progress.

I went to Mike's workshop on Sunday in IL. What a great time! I would gladly go to another.
I wasnt able to hang around for the concert....:crying: Rotten family birthday parties....
The Redstone Room show in Davenport, Iowa was fantastic. I would estimate 120-150 people, and everyone seemed to be having a ball. Compton and Grier were really on their game, and their selection of material was a whole lot of fun.
