So that was you! I was behind the stage at a camper and I heard Evening Prayer Blues on the PA and I stopped to listen. It caught my attention, because nobody aound here plays that tune. I said to my friends, "I wonder who that is, he's good" Great job! I hate we didn't get to pick some. Terry

I played Evening prayer blues, couldn't think of another tune that would sound good without guitar backup (that I know good enough to play by myself on a stage anyway). /Jonas 2010/8/7 Terry Bullin <[email protected]> Jonas, Congrats on 2nd place, thats great! I wish I had got to hear you play. What tune did you do? That fiddlers convention is one of the best ones in this area. It says alot that someone from Sweden can win there. At most of the others, the ony ones that win anything are the local people. Don, Thanks for the kind words. You are right, at most contests "the most notes" do win. Even if they play a Monroe tune they clutter it up with too many notes. I've been lucky this year. I've won 1st place at the 3 contests I entered. I played Kentucky Mandolin twice and Southern Flavor. I tryed to play them as close to Bill's version as I could. I think I'll quit while I"m ahead.........lol.

I got second place and that came as a complete shock to me, I guess the judges liked the Monroe stuff. It felt weird that a guy from Sweden would do well in a mandolin competition in the Blue Ridge Mountains, but I was happy as can be of course :) /Jonas 2010/8/7 Don <[email protected]> Hey Terry, congratulations. I'm really happy to hear that some Monroe-style did well at a contest. Seems like those are all "the most notes wins" these days. From what I've seen and heard of your playing on youtube, you certainly would represent the Monroe style at its best in a contest--and provide some real nourishing content amongst all that empty calorie notey stuff.
