Not just a rumor, but a posting on Mike Marshall's website: an evening of duets May 10 in a little town just southeast of Burlington. #Mike Marshall and Hamilton de Holanda; Darol Anger and Scott Nygaard; Russ Barenberg and Bryan Sutton. #I am soooo there! #-- #Paul
He joyously felt himself idling, an unreflective mood in which water was water, sky was sky, breeze was breeze. He knew it couldn't last. -- Thomas McGuane, "Nothing but Blue Skies"
Wow...that's worth the drive from almost anywhere.

Yup, just got my tickets yesterday. It is in an old converted barn that seats 200. I am psyched.
Shameless bump, as the date grows near. -- Paul

The options for making it more than duets sounds pretty exciting!
Haven't seen Barenberg out playing for awhile, since Hop, Skip & Wobble
days w/ Edgar Meyer & Jerry Douglas.
Ditto that. I haven't seen Barenberg since Hop, Skip & wobble either. I am definitely hoping for a surprise trio or more!
I'll be there too..and very excited to see Mike with Ham!

I live in Richmond, and I breaks my tiny little heart that I have had vacation planned for months on that day. At least I got to see Bryan Sutton w/ the honorable Mr. Thile when he was in town.
Keith, hello, I live just over the hill from you in Jericho, just up the hill from the high school. Hope our paths cross sometime, and sorry you have to miss this thing. I saw Thile at Higher Ground recently, too, and that was stupendous.
Hello to Larry as well, who I met at Rigelfest and who was kind enough to post a picture of my L&H here on the Cafe. -- Paul

I'm coming from Saratoga to see the show. Maybe if I wear my Cafe T shirt, some fellow posters can introduce themselves?
Howard
ps-hopefully the weather is nice enough to ride my motorcycle!
Cool! Wish I make it. Just saw him here in Texas at the Old Settlers Music Fest. He also led a mandolin workshop. Great picker and a nice guy.

See you at the show tonight! I can't wait to see Hamilton and Mike.
And of course I remember you from the Rigelfest-Here's a pic of you picking Scott's Nugget!
Larry
It looks like the Mike & Ham set has been moved from first to last?
Larry
Paul, I live next to the Richmond Elementary School, just a few grades below you. I'll look out for you in the area, and I'd love to play sometime, though I am rather new to the mandolin.
Enjoy the show tonight, everybody.
Keith
The show last night was GREAT (IMHO)!!!!
Mike Marshall and Hamilton DeHolanda were just jaw droppingly awesome.
I saw some folks were recording, but didn't talk to them.
Does anyone know if the recordings would be available anywhere?
Howard from Saratoga Springs NY
How were the other duos? ....... was there any jammin' with trios, quartets etc
There were a few brief trios when Darol and Scott were up. They had a guest on fiddle for a few and a guest on vocals for one tune. I thought the Bryon and Russ was really really good. Russ even picked two tunes on the mandolin. Hamilton and Mike very just incredibly fast, unbelieveable. There was a huge jam at the end with all six of them but like all big impromptu jams it was pretty ragged. It was crazy that Gordon Stone was the in-between set guy.
Oh and Jamie Masefield was there but he was only a emcee. I left after the first encore so maybe he got up and picked later?
The show was amazing!
Even though I'm very familiar with Mike and Ham both together and solo, I was still blown away by their telepathic playing.
Hamilton goes for broke at all times. It took only seconds for them to blow the crowd away.
Here's a clip from youtube.
I also bought Mike's new CD "Woodshop"-it's great too.
Larry
Telepathic is right, Larry, the exchange between Mike and Ham was just endlessly astonishing -- all that energy, all that seemingly effortless invention, all wrapped up in the totally joyous pleasure-vibe they were emitting. I haven't stopped grinning.
Congratulations to Howie for hanging on to his front seat when a mere rumor moved the rest of us back a ways -- I was envying you for the rest of the night. Next time . . .
It's true, having our legendary Gordon Stone do mere fill-in between sets is something I never expected to see, after at least 30 years of hero-worship on my part. Jamie Masefield did not get into the fray either. (Not criticizing the show, just responding to other remarks . . .)
Not that I'm into crowds, but I do wish for the promoters' sake that there had been more turnout. I can't remember a better show ever, plus I got to shake hands with Darol and Mike. -- Paul

I was crushed that I couldn't make it. I only live 20 minutes away in Burlington, but I couldn't afford the tickets for me and the girlfriend.
