You should create a video of you playing some of the Thile tunes up to speed, I personally would enjoy to see it. Best of luck in your pursuits...

Have a fun trip!

Have you checked out the OBA website? Judging by the use of the term "session" are you referring to ITM?

I own a MF and I love it. However I would not expect a major change in sound between the two models. Yes, some MFs are adirondack spruce and MTs are generally engelman; however, I can't easily...

Check out this version, it is Greg Clarke from Portland playing his Sullivan mandolin exceptionally well...

Thanks for the video, this is my favorite SCI song! Wish they did more songs like Barstool...

Wait till you discover cross tuning, that is really fun!

Oh yeah, mutes are worthwhile investments. Get yourself one, they are very inexpensive. Put it on and work on those bow strokes.

I have been teaching myself fiddle for the last 3 months or so. While it may seem like an impossible instrument at first, give it time it will get easier. Spend some time with the instrument, get...

Check out the Oregon Bluegrass Association's website. I live in Eugene, hence not that familiar with what is happening in Portland per se. If you are up for a road trip, consider the Tuesday night...

If you know G, C, and D, then you are almost there. Try them up a whole step and do A, D, and E. and so on... You also inquired into progressions. You may be aware of the Nashville numeric...

That is a wonderful example of exquitely poor frustration tolerance/ absence of coping strategies. Of course I am a bit sceptical that this was staged, however I could be convinced otherwise. He...

I am enjoying this lively discussion. However I feel the OP wants someone to say "it's OK just buy a MTO". So I am saying it, go buy the Collings and have some fun!

The barbershop jam is at Indian springs barbershop, in Broken Arrow. If someone goes I would love to hear more about it. I grew up near Tulsa, and am back there a couple times a year. In fact I...

I have taken up fiddling for that last month or so. So far, so good. Bowing is tough, there is no way around that. I made a quantum leap with bowing by buying a mute for the fiddle and practicing...

I use the following technique you are asking about during the B part of blackberry blossom. I aim my first digit tip dead center between the two courses. With practice, one can mute the string on...

Hello,
You may consider attending some of your local jams. Consult the OBA website for details regarding jams in your area. Good luck!

Mightly fine, I must say!

I am not familiar with any, as I reside on the Left coast, however I would look at the local bluegrass associations website. It should have all the information your searching for.

Try The Folkways years, and Keep On Going. Both on itunes. Also consider Bluegrass Holiday by JD Crow (I believe Red sang lead on most stuff on that album). Don't forget Bluegrass Reunion on...

Find yourself a used Collings MT, you won't regret it!

Why am I not suprised? Sutton Rocks!

Forget the F, get yourself a used Collings MT! Then forget about any more mandolins for a long time. There is a used MT2 in the classifieds right now (NFI).

Since I am the OP I thought I should contribute again. I opted to not alter my case, and chose a small dog case cover instead. No regrets what so ever, and works perfectly in the PNW keeping my...

Irish washer woman is definitely the A part, the B part however is different (possibly their own creation?)
