It looks like Music & More is having a student recital this Friday, April 28th. Sean and I have been asked to to play a tune during the recital. I think we’ll do Dawg’s version of Django Reinhart’s “Minor Swing”. I may have time to do a single tune on guitar as well. We’ll have to wait and see. So we’re going to do our best impression of Mike Marshall and Chris Thile as a mandolin duo. I hope to see you there.This story is from the

Last night’s Slow Jam was great. We had 8 people show up including 2 mandolin players and an electric guitar player. At first everyone was pretty tentative and very few people wanted to take solos. So I showed everyone the G pentatonic scale and pretty soon we had EVERYONE taking solos. It was great. And most importantly, that’s what Slow Jam is all about. It’s a positive environment that allowed everyone to explore their instrument in a friendly atmosphere. Slow Jam will be happening on the 2nd Tuesday of each month from now on so the next one is on May 9th. I hope to see you there.
