Good stuff bassfiddler. As noted in 10/29/08 post, I am working on the mandolin. If you like bluegrass, you know of Jon Reischman and the Jaybirds. If you haven't seen it, take a look at "Chinese bluegrass" on YouTube. Maybe all we need in this old world is a good international jam session!

Thanks for the heads up on the Jon Reischman clip mrauch. Good stuff for sure...I agree with you about a worldwide jam session. Fact is we're more similar than different no matter where you're from.
And thanks for the link to you guys hwy61. Mighty fine mighty fine.
I am a drummer, and own a small company making high end custom snare drums and drums sets from stave. Glad to see there are a few other percussionists in this crowd.

Anything bluegrass.
Know why they give bluegrass songs titles?

One of these days I'm gonna learn how to play 'em.
Hey guys when we are not out enjoying our AS I play an old Hofner Bass in a Classic Rock Band "Backslash" and if any of you are looking for guitars, I also run an online guitar store called Fret City Music. Regards Rob
Truth be known, I play the iPod a lot better than I play guitar.

I would give away my airstream to be able to play a musical instrument. I have no musical talent what so ever.
In that case, drop that shiny Caravel off in my driveway and I'll have you rockin' out on the kazoo in one afternoon! All jokes aside, it's never too late to learn. I've taught guitar lessons to a gentleman who is in his seventies. I taught myself to play guitar as a teen with a few good books and a lot of practice. Much to the displeasure of my poor mother, who dealt with a couple of years of REALLY bad guitar playing. At age 15, I ended up playing bass guitar with a classic country band in which the next youngest member was 63.
