In other words to quote from one of Rich's tunes, "I ain't got no money"

Even not having as large a tax burden would help me out. Man, I might even be able to get a new mandolin or a high quality octave if I had a million dollar check. But, I aint gettin' a dime Denny -----Original Message----- From: mistertaterbug <[email protected]> To: Taterbugmando <[email protected]> Sent: Sat, 28 Feb 2009 12:30 pm Subject: Re: Mando Camp North Dang Denny, would you be my manager/agent? Har! We'll talk about this some more. Don't forget brother Rich. As for he bailout, an Australian acquaintance told me the other day that the US gov-a-mint should've just given everybody in the country (300 million) a million dollars instead of spending 300 billion on car company bailout. Or just buy everybody a new car. Either way, it would've been cheaper. Don't you think having a million dollars would "stimulate" your economy? Sure would mine!

I have tried to get my teenage son interested in music...he is a quarterback on the football team and doesn't have much desire for anything but ACDC, which is fine, I listen occasionally myself. The only thing that he has been interested in when it comes to guitar or mandolin has been Rich's album and the homespun blues mandolin dvd's. AGain, it is the lyrics that are fun and with the blues style it is more enjoyable for him. I used to play drums in a band and he liked it when I sang blues songs. > > have no fear, I listen to stomp alot too. I still say that Evening Prayer Blues is the greatest recording ever. > > I just changed my mp3 player tunes yesterday and have been listening to some old Doyle Lawson and old Bill Monroe. I love their style and feel. I just wish they had been recorded with our modern technology. Can you imagine how awesome some of those old tunes would sound with all the advancements? They are great even with their basic tools. Now? you can make better quality recordings at home on your computer. > > If we could ever get something going in Lubbock, Abilene, San Angelo, Amarillo, or even at South Plains in Levelland with Joe Carr, I would do whatever I could to make it work. I would go to every festival I could in the area to pass out flyers. I would contact all the music organizations and all the college music departments. I would contact as many school music teachers and more. There are some good facilities for something right here in Snyder. We have a large gym and stands which they call the collosium because of the college basketball teams. The area has many other support buildings and halls for displays and more which are used for livestock shows, rodeos, a huge western swing festival every summer (I mean huge), and much more. > > I even thought about trying to get the board of the western swing festival to bring in some great mandolin musicians to provide more depth to the event. > > There is also a good theater here that would be great for an event. I was thinking about having a wide variety of mandolinist come over the course of a weekend. It would provide the audience with a wide varieity of styles to hear. It would be great to hear Grisman, Mike Marshall, Mike Compton, DelGrosso, Evan Marshall, Tim Obrien, and more. Classical, blues, rock, bluegrass, celtic, and more in one weekend mini festival. To me, that sounds like one great weekend. > > Now, if someone would give me a fat check from the government bailouts to pay for it, we will be all set. > > Denny Wilson > Snyder, Texas > > -----Original Message----- > From: mistertaterbug <[email protected]> > To: Taterbugmando <[email protected]> > Sent: Sat, 28 Feb 2009 12:00 pm > Subject: Re: Mando Camp North > > Denny, > Would love to.
