That's really cool, Bill. I have a two year old son whom I hope will take up an instrument someday and we can play music together.

Awesome! How old is your son and what instrument(s) does he play? Man, to be chosen by Grisman to solo onstage after only 1 year of playing, he must be downright scary-good!
Congratulations to you both,

| My son's 15. He started playing last june at a bluegrass concert and hasn't stopped since although now his tastes run towards playing Thelonius Monk and Miles Davis on Mandolin. |

Bump.
Please come if you are in the area. I'll be playing my MSA 12 string lap steel, my Baritone Weissenborn, and my dobro. My sone will be playing mandolin,and electric mandolin. He will most likely being doing a duet with his uncle (principle bass with the new york city ballet) doing some thelonius monk tunes on his electric. |
