    Hi ya --

    Please let's introduce ourselves -- where we live, what music we play, etc.

    I'm a banjo player newly interested in the mandolin, and not very advanced, I'm afraid. I'm starting out in the old timey/Great Folk Scare mode, but am willing to see where things take me. I play an Eastman 604 -- a-style, oval hole.

    In real life I'm a 49 year old information professional living with my wife and dogs in North Jersey.

    Hi Robert
    I'm in Central NJ and play a gibson f9 and a mid-missouri m1w. I've been playing for about 3 years or so and have attended a few mandolin camps out of Mass.

    My progress is slow but steady. I usually play whatever the jam I"m participating in has on the slate. When I"m on my own and playing along to tunes, I gravitate towards newgrass type stuff.

    In real life, I'm a 43 yo sign language interpreter.

    Cheers

    I'll be moving to NYC in July...so I'm not offical yet, I guess.

    I'm looking forward to seeing what/where/who I can find to play with. I like just about any music, and play mostly bluegrassy stuff.

    In real life, I'm a psychiatrist.

    Happy 2011!
    I'm in NYC since 2001, up from Va. I'm a hired gun bluegrass/oldtime/irish guitarist/fiddle/mandolin holder. I co-host/attend the Wed night BG-OT session which is currently at the Grizzly Pear on MacDougal St. and go home to Va as often as possible to keep my sanity intact.

    In real life I'm an irascible layabout, easily coaxed into general contracting jobs.

    Well it looks like very little has happened here in 3 years. But here goes.
    I play mandolin -- Summits (3 of them 2 F's and an A) and live on the Upper West Side.

    All kinds of music
