JeePee -- C'est incroyable!!! Merci. I had no idea that this existed. It is a treasure trove. And so quickly.
Now to get to work... Thank you again, Jim
I'm working up these G Jazz tunes w/ some mates, and need the music to share! Lovely tunes, a little obscure -- any leads?

Sherry Mignano has amassed quite a store of material. The repertoire book is great, in standard notation. Jim
Just got word, there's a gathering in Don's memory this evening (Mon 11/10) at the Forest Grove (Oregon) Senior Center, 2037 Douglas Street.

Seems like Tedthro posted a video last year from NAMM (?I think) here of Paul Glasse and Will Patton jamming on it. I tried a quick Cafe search and could not find it. Ted?

Just the opposite -- I dropped out of clarinet lessons in 6th grade, frustrated (mainly because of flaws with the old family clarinet).
My mom was supportive and said "That's OK honey, nobody in...
I'd direct you to the recent book "This Is Your Brain on Music," by neuroscientist Dan Levitin -- has a nice summary of the emotional & neuro aspects of the "addiction." Also a nice summary of...

That's the real deal Bruce. Good recording quality, too (any info on that?) Can these recordings be downloaded? Thanks, Jim (in Portland)
Thanks for the highlight Alan! I had just re-arranged my music books (re-arranging is always a good substitute for opening them....) after we moved into a new house. Got my very own corner of the...

Way to go, Tedthro, too much! I've never seen Will Patton perform, so this is a treat. I've begged to get him out here to the Pac. N.W. So how did this alignment of planets come to be... let's see,...
Looking at this from an 180 degrees opposite P.R. perspective: If you had a musician and wanted to put on a show, what would be the exact worst conditions under which to stage the performance (where...
Mr Mando, I can vouch for your tale because my acoustic trio was also playing that same afternoon! Kind of drowned out the whole folky scene. I was more interested in hearing the Dead than us,...
Czardas, wonderful tune, as gypsy as it gets. My combo opens a medley w/ that and seques into "Tipsy Gypsy" (apologies for leaping continents and centuries between the tunes, but they rock together!...
So sorry to hear this distressing news; the more that we know, the more we can hold him in our thoughts and prayers. Butch has given so much wonderful music and been a central advocate for the...

Forty-four instruments were on display all together. Inc. Mike Bellinger's harp guitar. Just spectacular. Anyone interested in some Sullivan background can go to the Mandolin Magazine archives from...
