We all know who the most articulate person at camp is. :))
Looking forward to seeing half your face from a distance!

This year he's keeping all the instructors but severely limiting the attendees to the point that each class will have probably 5 or 6...

Thile always struck me as genuine, as an artist who lets the music completely take him over in every way to the point where he doesn't care one thousandth of one percent what anyone else thinks of...

As I understand the word "pretentious",Chris Thile is surely not that.

Pick sampler #1 was in my mailbox today! Awesome! SO many pics in there.... I'll be adding a Red Bear if my memory serves me as to where it is... maybe others too... Thank you! Peter. How do I know...

Sampler #1 is off on its merry way! I enjoyed it quite a bit and threw in some Dunlop jazz 3s in a few different materials I had lying around, thanks guys!

I received pick sampler #2 today. I am looking forward to playing alot of mandolin. Thanks!

I have received pick sampler #1 today! Just in time to bring it along to a mini jam with my teacher and a couple students and it was really fun to play a song, try a pick, and keep playing around,...
