What better place to have seen Chris playing than a "dinky" little theatre in Paducah. (I have to defend the college, at least a little, since it is my paycheck!)

It has long bothered me that there are so many great, but unknown, bluegrass festivals in Kentucky. Sometimes I think the chamber of commerce and politicians are ashamed of it and try to keep it all...
Yeah, I saw a recent show by J.D. Crowe on KET the other night and I was surprised by how un-bluegrass it was. I called it "country," and I never did like country music too much.
I remember seeing...
I understand, that's why I put the bit of a disclaimer about Bawn in the Mash not being "traditional" and having a jazz/blues sort of influence. It's definitely NOT country, however.
The same...
If you are coming as far as the Owensboro/Beaver Dam area for the Bill Monroe activities, you might consider coming just a little further west in Kentucky.
To see if there are any shows or...
If this jam, or a version of it, gets going again please let me know. (Or if anybody hears of any such friendly, just for fun, everybody welcome, jams in western Kentucky let me know!)
I've not...
Thanks for replying Dusty, though I'm sorry about the answer. I only got to stop by and observe on once occassion and I have to put it on my list of the most amazing and positive things I've...
Does anyone know if the Saturday jam at the music store in Cadiz is still going on?
It looks like I might be able to make it down that way soon, with a couple of friends that are good pickers....
I have a bottle of "Martin Guitar Polish" that I sometimes use, even though I don't own a Martin. I find that you have to use even the guitar polish VERY sparingly. It seems to make the back of the...
Thanks for the links.
I've been trying to find a place that has the tabs for the basic scales that would be used in bluegrass and maybe even in some jazz or blues mandolin. I don't need anything fancy, just the basics.

dmamlep, I don't know for sure how far London is from Rosine, but it always seemed like a long way from Smithland! Rosine is about a third of the way between us if I remember right, which means you...
My daughter's fiddle teacher put thin adhesive strips across the neck where the fingers should go. #It was a valuable learning aid for her as she started out--just put the fingers on the strips.
...
That's the information I needed.
If nothing large happens I plan to be there with my daughter. I think I'll get her out of school early and head on up that way. Luckily, I get done with classes...
My 14 year old daughter has been taking fiddle lessons for just over a year from a very talented fiddle/violin player. He has her using this book: http://www.melbay.com/product.asp?ProductID=93742DP...
Weather Report awakened me from my dogmatic slumbers (to paraphrase Kant) back in the 70's. Until a college roommate slipped an early Weather Report record on my turn table I really didn't know what...
I'm hoping you are right on the schedule. I'm about an hour and a half away and that would give me plenty of time to get there on a weekday. Well, I might have to leave work a bit early, just to make...

What I can't find on the web site is the time that specific bands will be playing. I want to make sure my daughter gets to see Dr. Ralph if at...
The bluegrass festival at Bill Monroe's birthplace in Rosine, Ky. is coming up this month.
Is anyone going?
Anyone been before that can give me some hint what to expect?
My 14 year old...
I can't play mandolin, banjo, guitar, and dobro all at about the same level. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
I have seen the opening up thing happen on all these....
JeffD, THAT mute would work--but the initial installation would be rather loud.
Tom Robbins once said that there are only two kinds of people: Those who think there are only two kinds of people and those who know better.
Well, here's my two types: Some people play...
Missed this until now. Yep, I was there.
I thought Nickel Creek was pretty good. Actually, I saw Chris Thile play locally when he was probably in high school and thought he was impressive then. He...
It aired here in western Kentucky on the 13th. I taped the program for my daughter (who plays bluegrass fiddle and guitar). I just now saw this post. I had no idea anybody from this board was on the...
Just an observation: "Jams" in venues like coffee houses and bars tend to turn into performances and lose something of the informality that I have seen in only a very few jams.
The absence of an...
