I do! I learned it from a cassette recording that Paul Kotapish made years ago ("Guitarfish and Mandolin"), but I never caught up with the Sam Bush original on vinyl. Could you make a PDF of the...
On this second anniversary of his death (April 6, 2012), I was struck nearly dumb to discover a video in which he appears that I didn't know existed. It is entitled "Mark O'Connor Meets Berklee",...
Count me IN!

I'm planning on going for the second year in a row, to the American Dance & Music Week, June 30th thru July 5th. In particular, I'm looking forward to taking workshops with Ashley Broder and Sam...

I'm greatly disappointed to find John's website, with it's wealth of information on technique and pure joy of music, discontinued with the closing words: "This site has been retired. Thank you for...

You should join the Yahoo group, OLDTIMESF. Members of that group regularly post announcements of jams and sessions in and around the Bay Area, mostly oldtime (not so much bluegrass). A session...

Still no DVD?? :confused:
#1 comes across better! Sounds like CFM to me. RF
