Brilliancy

This is a video that Michael Cobb shot at the Artichoke the night before the Kansas Fiddling and Picking Championships. The tune is Brilliancy, one of the two tunes I played the next day. I didn't place, but the whole exercise of preparing for and competing in the mandolin competition was priceless.

 I know it's early, but put a star and a smiley face on Oct 6, because it'll be a fun night at The Brickyard in Old Town, Wichita, KS.  Wayne Gottstine is taking the stage at 9pm, backed by Dr. Mark Foley on bass, Jamie B on vocals, and myself on mandolins.  Mark, Wayne and I played a little in the late oughts and early teens, so it's been a while, and we're excited to reconvene with the addition of Jamie.  I can't wait!

Wayne

 I'm accompanying Wayne Gottstine at Manhattan's Arts in the Park Friday. 

Info Here.

It'll be hot, for sure, but the sun should be on its way down by the time the evening kicks off.
