GRRRR! What is it with dobro players (sort of like drummers in rock bands). This one quit after three off-and-on weeks because he couldn't commit.

Thus, I am in need of BG musicians again to get this project moving. Looking for guitar OR bass, as well as banjo, fiddle and/or dobro. GIve me a holler. Thanks.

Double GRRRR! So now the mandolin player is transferring jobs, and I'm on my own. So I call out to any BG musicians in the Detroit area (guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin, dobro, fiddle), male or female, vocals a plus. Looking for committment and dedication (not a side project).

Hey Matt:

Move to Ohio. I will pick with ya!

God Bless

Well, for anyone interested, some of my demos are now up on Soundclick. Listen, ponder, audition ...

OK, so it looks as though I need to update this story. Woo Hoo! Things are going great. For the past few weeks, we've been doing great, now that webmistress Sherri is handling the 5-string chores. We've also (hopefully) secured the talents of a doghouse bassist and another flatpicker currently serving in the Coast Guard.

So I guess what we could use now is a mandolin, fiddle, and/or dobro. Vocals a big plus. Practice every Wednesday in Hamtramck (not TOO hard to find, right Sherri?). Originals, covers both old standards and some modern Americana artists. COntact me if interested (or if you know of anyone who is).

Yes, we are looking for a few more folks! It's not hard to find Hamtramak, and we've had a couple good practices! I'm working hard to get the banjo stuff down... it's all new ground for me! But it's a great challenge for me and who knows where we'll end up!
