I'm in Thur-Sun. Should be a blast. Hope the Oregon Bluegrass Association is hosting a suite again. Great folks. A MandoCafe tasting/jam would be fun, too.

The Duck? Holy smokes......

Hey Paul,

Chiming in a bit late here. Although I may be repeating some of the previously mentioned blockers, here are the obstacles I faced in joining the SMO:

1) Time. Although rehearsals are...

Just wanted to add a note of support here. I recently sat in on a few practice sessions with the SMO, and they are a warm, friendly group with an excellent conductor. Recommended if you want to...

Definitely going. Won't be able to get away from the desk until Friday, though. Contemplating dropping a rig up there earlier in the week to grab some space in the shade. Anyone else doing a drop...

I'm in for all three days : )

Any word about a mando-tasting/meetup like last year? I really enjoyed meeting quite a few people from the cafe, and the music was great. I also believe scotch was...

I still remember walking into a friend's dorm room in '97 and seeing two Kentucky F-5's on a desk as both he and his roommate were taking mando lessons from the guitar instructor at our university. ...

Can't go wrong with Dusty Strings. They had a sweet blonde Collings MT when I was in there last weekend that was certainly worth 20 minutes of picking. A/B'd it with the MF5 they had and it really...

Hi all,

I have a buddy who's making the move from Denver to Cincinnati and is looking for local jams and instruction. He's been hanging out at Swallow Hill in Denver quite a bit, and is looking...

Yeah JMP gets some rotation through my catalogue. I haven’t seen them for a few years, but their shows were always worth checkin out, and I believe tix are usually under 15$. Not too shabby.
