Here in North Carolina. Dewey Farmer, Herb Lambert { used to could play like anybody famous, every lick}, Rick Allred { mandolin player for Summer Wages}, and I won 1st place at Union Grove Fiddler's Convention once long ago { does that count ? }, ain't the picker now I was back then though. And Jerry Stewart { a great mandolin picker, wrote a tune called Galax long, long ago{ it's in F#minor }, dang good tune, great chord progression. Jerry and myself are the only two people I know of that knows that tune. I've been showing it to people for years, it is great tune for mando, fiddle, banjo, guitar, and dobro, pretty good tempo. Josh Pickett from Virginia right across the state line, not only a solid mandolin picker, but a hoss on the guitar also. Theys a bunch of good pickers here in my neck of the woods, always has been. Got a young guy in his lower 30's plays guitar in our band, and is good, but he sings and sounds just like a younger Russel Moore. That boy could do it for a living if he wanted to, he's that good.
