Yeah I don't think he meant anything against hippys, just against the youngster wanna be hippies.
Btw I would really love a mandolin cafe San Antonio gathering

Just an hour West of San Antonio, we hold a Thursday night jam at FBC Kerrville. Usually get started 6:30ish and go till 8:45 or so. It's mostly Old Time, Bluegrass, and some blues.
Man I was really hoping to take my fiddle to the slow jam or intermediate jam today but I called and learned they were both shut down. Very disappointing. Not sure I could keep up with my fiddle at a regular speed jam but I can probably go pick my mandolin there.
San Antonio seems to be pretty much dead as far as old time music.

I would be game for a San Antonio gathering sometime. It is sad how sparse San Antonio is for acoustic music in general.
"Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man."
Any of you guys headed to fire on the strings next weekend in houston?
I'm in for a San Antonio Jam, but really men I have yet to see one of y'all at the Barbeque station Jam held every Monday.
Best.
MAS Fund.......Up and running again
Thats the other thing...you never know whats going on around here.
Details?
It's every Monday at 6:30 to 8:00
At the barbecue station on loop 410
I just went for the first time and it was a lot of fun. Not pure bluegrass, lots of gospel and country. Good bunch of players. I believe there was 2 of every instrument, except 3 mandolins and 3 fiddles. So really balanced group as well.
I'll be there next week, i really enjoyed it. It got me fired up about mandolin again too!
You should try to make it next week, not sure if I saw iron there or not.

Yep it sure was. I'm still putting stuff together but playing with you guys definitley shows me what I need to work on. Like playing in Bb.
It's definitley a lot of fun, I'll see ya tomorrow

Thanks! Yea i really like how my yellowstone sounds in the mix, but i have to admit my MAS fund is up and running too.
Hope you had a happy birthday!

Anyone planning on/or have gone before to the Hill Country Acoustic Music Camp? I'm thinking of signing up. Looks like it could be a lot of fun!
Just the jamming alone would be worth the money for me, add in lessons and from Billy Bright and Steve Smith, I really wanna go
"When you learn an old time fiddle tune, you make a friend for life"
I went last year but probably won't make it this year due to work demands. Steve Smith is great, and I think you'll get a lot from him. They have plenty of jam time, and it's broken up into several groups by experience level. I really didn't take advantage of the jams, since I live half an hour away and had a lot going on at the time, but you should be able to get a lot out of it if you stay there in the cabins with nowhere else to go.
ah i was hoping you were gonna make it.Wouldve loved to compare your Ellis F to my A! Yeah ive already signed up for a private room. I dont get to jam a whole lot, and ive never been to a festival, so this will be alot of fun, a weekend of playing. Also good to hear that the groups are divided by experience level.
"When you learn an old time fiddle tune, you make a friend for life"
Well, you're in luck. Steve Smith plays an Ellis F too, and he will let you try his out if he brings it. In fact, last year we had three Ellis mandolins together (our two F styles and an A style). We took a group photo of them, which is now featured on the Ellis Mandolins homepage photo rotation. Steve is one of Tom's featured artists, and as I recall he recently got a Pava as well. I'm not sure which one he will bring.
Any cafe'rs going to the HCAMP in kerville this weekend?
Looking at the weather it looks like there is a chance of snow all weekend over there. Of course right now it's sunny and about 68.
