The Mammals give us a great set, and when joined by a stage full of friends end it with a beautiful finale.

Whenever I get the schedule for the Grey Fox Creekside Stage, as soon as I see
any entries from the Berklee College of Music I automatically circle everything
for my video to-do list. This year was no different. Here are my first 2017 videos.

After almost catching up, I'm finally able to start making my videos available
from the warm and intimate Oldtone Roots Music Festival. Here's the first of
hopefully many over the next few months...

After Orrin Star sadly passed away on November 29, Jimmy Gaudreau saw my email and contacted
me with his memories of Orrin, including working dates with him in the early 2000s. In Orrin's
memory, Jimmy graciously offered me two of his instrumentals with Orrin. I have added them
to my previous Star & Mehalick recording page....

I've got a lot of band-approval videos waiting to edit and publish.

Fortunately my good friends Too Blue have one song, sofar, from their Hudson Valley Bluegrass Association concert.

[robbif]

I'm very glad my 2017 videos from this intimate friendly festival OldTone Roots are coming out.

This is a great way to start!

One of the top honors and pleasures of recording in my decade of volunteering. Thanks and congratulations to John Rossbach!

Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival
During Grey Fox 2017, John Rossbach sat down with music great, Ricky Skaggs, at the Creekside Stage for an extended interview covering Ricky's early life, influences, and other insights from a legendary career in music. Enjoy Part 1 here. Part 2 coming tomorrow!

So here's a preview..

Another song by this popular group, who'll be returning to Oldtone Roots this fall!

Last fall I flew from NY to Arizona on a onetime bucket list adventure with a longtime buddy and
fellow Clemson grad Jim Davis in Tucson.

This 3-day festival was a major stop! I finally put together my limited slide show
(which includes my 5 videos previously posted).

This isn't one of mine, but it's The Berklee Mandolin Matchup, hosted by Joe Walsh, and recommended to me by my friend Mike Sassano (mando) of Too Blue. Two of our friends who recently joined Berklee - Korey Brodsky (mando and guitar) and Sofia Chiarandini (fiddle and bass) perform in several of the groups.
