Know what you mean Chuck. Even here in VA. there's not as many Festivals
here as I would like to see. But we do have Friday and Saturday Jam sessions in many locations, and sometimes you come across really good groups. Good Luck!

- Greetings, Just got here and looking forward to some great BG music. Too bad there's not more Bluegrass music in Jaclsonville FL or Florida for that matter.

In my humble abilities I have been fortunate enough to use some great picks on guitars that I do not deserve. I have several tortoise shells that dear friends gave me long ago. They are like playing with a fingernail and even shape to your fingers...
This is the club for all you pickers who have
discovered the excellent Blue Chip picks.
Here is a group for people who have Martin Guitars, or is looking for one, or if you just really like Martin Guitars!
This group is for members who are working with the 8-Volume Flatpicking Essentials course written by Dan Miller and Tim May. This is the place to meet others who are working with the course and share your arrangements.
Here's the place to discuss and showcase our favorite gear.
This is a group for all fans of Tony Rice, and those who appreciate all that he has contributed to the world of acoustic guitar flatpicking.
This is the place for those of us who love Norman Blake! Feel free to comment on Norman's technique, albums, instruments, philosophy, concert performances, or anything else that is Norman related.
