I know this is an old thread but a tremendous resource is the Cowan Creek Mountain Music School, and amazing week in eastern Kentucky where you will learn from the masters.
I have taken fiddle...
I just got a copy of this LP at the original Colonel Sanders restaurant/KFC in London, KY :-)
What a hoot! Haven't dug up a turntable to listen to it yet.
Hey! I think I'm going to Galax! Gotta be a part of this!
No actually it's a gold sticker that just says "M 102" - I meant to say that.
I was wondering if it was a pawn shop identification or something.
I don't know where he got it.
Aha. Soundposts. They have a name! Thanks. Yes the value is primarily sentimental.
Kay makes sense; he had an old guitar that my brother now has that's a Kay.
Thanks!
Last year I heard from my aunt that my cousin had a mandolin that belonged to my grandfather, Garland Glover (Hancock County and Owensboro, KY) who died in 1988 at age 98. Granddaddy played guitar...
I came in late to this discussion but would like to say I love my "Parking Lot Pickers" book (mando version) . Like Toycona said, it's my "go to" book at a local jam. I also agree that it's falling...

The museum just emailed me with mando camp news - anyone who signed up should have received it. Really looking forward to it!!
They said there are still 8 spots left, so sign up soon if you...
This is one of the reasons I chose to learn to play the mandolin: its small size which fits in the overhead compartment of an airplane. I have never had any problem. My mandolin instructor says he...
The schedule for Mando Camp has been posted at http://www.bluegrass-museum.org/general/mandoCampSchedule.php

There are five...
Looking forward to it even more now...
Hey I just saw the following on the mando camp page... Bill Monroe Centennial Kick-Off Concert
If anyone is coming through Frankfort on their way to...
Ah yes, I was wondering about that as I typed it but had just read the Mando Camp description including "celebrating the 100th anniversary of his birth" so he would be 99 this year.
I thoroughly enjoyed Mando Camp last year and while in Owensboro KY a few weeks ago, I signed up to go again this year.
Looking forward to it! Who else is going?
