Happy to report Dominick was 100% present and accounted for with Molly and the band at DelFest this weekend! Molly also had some guy named Jerry Douglas sit in for her set. Keep an eye out for him,...

Dan, I’ve been a Grey Fox regular for many years, and if you like the idea of hitting a big festival, this one would be right up your alley. Bluegrass and bluegrass-ish music to listen to all over...

Sounds great! Thanks for the clue.

Denver Belle is a great tune, and I am also looking forward to Matt's Kenny Baker course; should be a great way to learn some new tunes and maybe get past the plateau my playing has lived on for far...

Finally! I was playing with a friend last night (more than 10 years after this thread starts), and Maisey just decides to see what this new bed might feel like.

While off getting some dinner late in the Hot Rize set, my wife reported when I returned that Tim broke a string on his mando, so Sam Bush lent Tim his mando to finish the set. Sam was the next act...

Irl Hees (pronounced Earl Hess) does a great solo performance of Working on a Building. Think I saw him perform this when he was with the Lonesome River Band, up at Grey Fox (might still have been...

Playing around with the new photo editing software. Old photo, new view of two of my favorite things.

Right on, Andrew! I've got # 12 in my lap at the moment and couldn't be happier - for my good fortune owning a world-class instrument, and for your continued success making them. May each one be...

Good news, music fans! I was browsing around the other day and saw there's a new release from Cahalen Morrison and Eli West. "I'll Swing My Hammer With Both My Hands." Out on February 4, it's...

At the one Merlefest I attended, in 1992, Tony and Ricky shared the stage, both in a group setting and, as part of that same set (iirc), for a handful of songs as a duo. A fair amount of highlights...

I think the offer stated that the first 500 (or some such number) would be signed. So, both you and me stand at 501 and beyond, methinks.

So, lucky me. I usually attend the Grey Fox festival in New York with my family, which we did again this year. But fortune smiled when I learned back in February I'd be sent to Boulder, CO for work...

And this, presumably relatively new information on an upcoming performance, from the Carnegie Hall web site. "On Sale Monday,August 26, 2013 at 8:00 AM" Credit to whoever started an earlier thread...

Are you familiar with the Arran Boat Song? Very nice melody, and not too hard to get sounding lovely.

Check out Frank Solivan & Dirty Kitchen, Strength in Numbers and, what the heck, why not Jason Anick while you're at it. That's some modern bluegrass, some newgrass and some jazz. And then check...

Carnegie Hall, October 22? Sounds like a good way to celebrate my birthday. Thanks for the early warning. I hope to be there. My only other time there was for Chris and Edgar Meyer a few years ago...

Are folks familiar with Duane Eddy's tune Route # 1? First time I heard it, I immediately thought "dawg music." Probably in large part to the flute in the tune, I suppose. I imagine Dawg, Matt...

Bird photography - now we're talking! Tom, thank you for sharing that. I found your flickr stream, and enjoyed what I've seen so far. Painted bunting bathing - great shot. I look forward to...

Russ, thanks that. I checked out those other you tube vids, and was pleased to see this one, My Last Days on Earth.

Just the two of them as a duo.

What a great show in Norwalk, CT on Sunday night! It took place in City Hall, which has a very nice auditorium/performance space. It is used regularly by the Norwalk Symphony Orchestra, but the Sam...

Very psyched for this show! A buddy of mine picked up tix - thanks for your part in putting it on. Now I just have to wait 6 weeks.....

Great idea. I Just watched an Ansel Adams documentary. At one point, he explains why he decided to leave his negatives, or at least many of them, with a university (U AZ or ASU?). He alikens it to...

Today I came across a recording of an old John Hartford, Vassar Clements show from October 1974, from the University of Florida (http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=560743) . In and of itself, a cool...
