Looking at the calendar, coming up August 7-9 in Dallas, Tx, the Acoustic Music Camp. With mandolin clinician and jazz buddy, Paul Glasse frontline, two words came to mind.

"Road trip."

We're going, and if you've got the weekend free, you should, too. Paul knocked 'em dead last month at the Mandolin Symposium. He says a heavy Bluegrass camp tradition at the AMC can be swayed to a jazz/swing focus if enough interest, so if you're in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, or like us, don't mind a 17 mile drive from the DFW airport for a fly-in, get registered today. Camp administrator, Gerald Jones says things are filling up, but if you hurry, there's still room.

Besides Bebop jazz mandolin master Paul Glasse, catch Gerald Jones, and Nate Lee in Dallas (Arlington) Texas, August 7-9 Acoustic Music Camp, in this three-day workshop for acoustic musicians on how to play Mandolin, along with Bluegrass & Clawhammer Banjo, Flatpick Guitar, Django Guitar, Country Blues Guitar, Bass, Fiddle, Songwriting, Harmony Vocals & Dobro. Small classes for hands-on experience with some of the industry's best teachers for learning Bluegrass, Texas Fiddle, Swing, Country Blues, Django and more. All skill levels welcome...

This would be a great chance to hook up with you and other JazzMando enthusiasts.
