Beginner looking for teacher in Arkansas

Howdy y’all! After lurking for a while and doing research from all the really useful recommendations here on cafe I just got myself a Kentucky km-150. Now begins the hunt for a teacher. I’m not familiar with anybody who offers lessons here in Arkansas but I’d like to get a good lead on a reputable teacher (not a guitar player who happens to know a handful of two finger chords) if possible. I’m located in Central Arkansas and I’m willing to drive a good distance to learn.

Also I forgot to add, I’m looking to start my journey into the bluegrass side of mandolin.

Bill is a great teacher in Little Rock:

Fantastic! I’ve sent him an email, thank you!
