Tell us more about yourself (place a Bio here if you wish)
Having cut my musical teeth on bluegrass, I've been a flatpicker (and banjo picker) for more than 30 years now. I am currently in a Celtic/Bluegrass ensemble called Sligo Rags, a band which incorporates bluegrass textures into (primarily) Irish tunes; although we do lapse into the occasional "Foggy Mountain Special" and such. Sligo Rags is an extraordinarily busy band, playing shows constantly in Southern and Central California. If you live in the area and would like to come see us, check out http://www.sligorags.com/showschedule

I am also a member of a "Jazz-grass" band called TimbreLine, we play from time to time in Southern California as well. You may visit us at http://www.timbreline.altpro.net
I have included a cut from our 'Sophistry' CD on this page.

I also have my own personal web page at http://www.davidburns.altpro.net
Do you have a website?

Man, I don't usually go out of my way for Irish tunes, but that stuff in the last issue was uber-cool. That 10 years medley, especially. Great picking!

Hey David,

It was a pleasure meeting and talking the other night at your gig. Seems we know a lot of the same local pickers. It would be great to jam sometime. Stay in touch.

Mike

P.S. The band sounds great!

Thanks for your response, David. Please call me Doc.

I saved that video to my computer and was listening to it this morning as I read the Sports section. Well done.

David, I live in Dublin so not really that near George Lowden. I have a well used and somewhat worn O10 - it's a lovely guitar although I tend to play the Martin more now.

Great video, David. Any chance you are playing the Chicago area in the near future?

Hi David, Yeah, mail order brides, never quite sure how good or bad they might be. I aways make certain there is a
return policy I can count on. Will let you know out come.

Not burning it to that extent - it is only 11.40pm 2nd July down under.

Burning the midnight oil - find the flatpick guitar network a nice diversion
