Thread: If you could play with ANYONE....

  1. #1

    Default If you could play with ANYONE....

    Ok, fun question, if you could jam with anyone who would you choose? Another mandolinist? A band? Mind you, for this fantasy question they can be alive or dearly departed.

    I would love to play with Peter Buck and Mike Mills from REM (no surprise there - Peter inspired me) or if they weren't available, I'd choose the Bangles since they have used mandolins in songs on their past 3 albums.

    Have fun pretending people!

    I would jam with what some would say is an odd combination of Barry Gibb, Glen Campbell, Ricky Skaggs and Jackson Browne. Those are my four favorite music artists.

    You know, this question fills an old geezer like me full of memories.
    If I could play with ANYONE, it wouldn't be anyone famous.
    If I could play with anyone, I would love to play with my old college buddies again
    I might not have been a very good musician back then, but the times we had were the best.
    I wish we could all play together again...
