Hey, Bud!
Thanks for the picture. I have been working on my family tree and Union Grove is where I've traced back to 1785. One of the Henderson's of that area. I walked the graveyards around the town there and I think I'm related to most of the population there, somehow.
Makes me feel like I just got a picture from "home". Greetings from Jacksonville, FL. Thanks soooo much!

Al, glad you enjoyed the photos. I'm not originally from this area but most of the folks in the band grew up in the area. You'll need to get up for the Fiddler's Grove festival sometime. Here is a link.

Great music last week at the Cook Shack with Bud and the rest of the Misty River Band!

The day I got it.
This is our mando ensemble, playing at the annual dinner of the Italian Club at Hoylake, Merseyside, a couple of weeks ago. That's me with my Embergher on the right of the front row, and Cafe member Fliss with her Calace first from left in the second row. Good fun gig!

That looks like a Fylde OM in the back...

Not quite, it's an early Japanese Saga (Ozark-branded, but probably the same that was sold as Trinity College elsewhere). Very nice OM, actually.
Martin
Looks like a fun group.
Yeah, but can it really be bluegrass without a banjo?
(I'm just kidding)

2 bottles of Knob Creek bourbon
1953 modified Kay string bass named "Bambi"
Me and my new (ok, it's new to me, the instrument is actually from '95) Old Wave. This little guy has amazing volume and absolutely KILLER tone! Couldn't ask for a better instrument for the price!
If you look closely, you'll notice my poor, neglected Mid Mo in the background.
My Instruments:
Ellis Twin Point #524
My beloved Old Wave #83
Herb Taylor Bouzouki #228
Mid-Mo M1 #4321 and M14 #176 (my first mandos)
Scuderi #001 OM Model Guitar
Plus a fiddle, a viola, a cello, another guitar, and (worryingly) three bagpipes.
Though I normally play the mando, here is a pic of me and Brian T. (on mando) at a roughly 5 hour gig a while back where I was forced to play the banjo and dobro the entire time! Brian at least got to play the guitar some. #Yes that's me with the dreded banjo.

I think you look better with the A-5. Then again, what do either of us care what I think of your looks?

MandoSquirrel, thanks for caring. I feel better with a mando in my hands. Everyone, whether or not they admit it, does care what others think of their looks. I have lost the beard and the banjo since the pictures, I still play the dobro some. I guess I should post an updated picture with me and one of my own custom built mandos. I'm not sure there's hope for Brian T. though.

Well, at least he was accesorized optimally: Mandolin in hands.

Andrew, I've seen those Youtube clips and Scott has some serious chops. What a great musician. You've got to be one proud dad.

Heading to IBMA this year again, are you going?
Andrew Gates
I don't know if I'll swing it this year or not--just dropped some big bucks on a new mando---that might put me over the limit with the wife. Well, maybe...
