How I spent yesterday (4/24/11) WARNING - Bluegrass content !!!

[Harvey Gerst]

I put down the Dobro and grabbed my iPhone to record this informal jam session at banjo player Joe Hood's house:

Bluegrass Jam Session

Five hours of Bluegrass heaven, with 11 top notch Bluegrass musicians (and me).

I'm envious. I wish I'd had a pickin' on Easter. Everybody looked like they were having a great time, and I heard some good notes...especially the guitar solo. Was that Ragtime Annie?

The guitar picking was from Brian Wright - an amazing guitar player from Denton, TX. I don't know the name of the song.

Now that looks like fun! Totally jealous am I.

Amazing! I've played guitar forever, but I'm just learning banjo, and this is inspiring.

Plus the banjo player with tattoos on his hand is a bad ass.

Here's another snippet:

Bluegrass Jam Session2
The guy playing the blue guitar is Gene Carter, a great bluegrass flatpicker. Banjo is Joe Hood, and the guy between Joe and the bass player is Brian Wright - another incredible bluegrass flatpicker.
