Effects Pedal for a Mandolin or Banjo??? Don't gimme no pedals, no special effects... Turning acoustic music into audible train wrecks... Maturity is a thing that oft comes with age... Why not spend your dime and your time, “learning to play”? When I was fourteen, I was all about FUZZ... And also BIG DECIBALS and all that that does... Now that I'm 60 and my hearing's impaired... I prefer ACOUSTIC MUSIC to all others compared... Harmony and melody sound better from wood... But I traded it for FUZZ, DECIBALS and other things not good... Eventually, I smartened and studied the 'notes'... I learned scale and chord theory and loud music I smote... Now much older, I can see through the noise... I no longer need to spend hard-earned money on 'toys'... Pedals, effects and loud amps set your nerves ajar... I prefer my acoustic mandolin, banjo, fiddle or guitar... Traditional music brought me around... The Norman Blake, Doc Watson and Tony Rice sound... Them fellers can play and they do it so good... They got me to practicing so that some day, I could! John Hartford, Earl Scruggs and Bill Monroe... Ralph Stanley, Doyle Lawson and all that they know... Bela Fleck, Tony Trishka, David Grisman and the like... Bluegrass and old timers, stand close to the mic... Now I'm a picker that can read, write and draw... Notes, chords, scales, diagrams and musical law... I can listen to music and play it by ear... Then program it in Tabledit, so that others can hear... Musical education is a long, hard, tenuous fight... But I can turn out arrangements now, night after night... For banjo, mandolin, fiddle and guitar... Desktop publishing has taken it far... Spend your time wisely, lads and lasses do learn... For tomorrow is yours, you have time to earn... The benefits of study and a practicing life... Will reap its rewards as you live out your life....

Davie Street Greensboro NC 27401 Bring instrument for jam sessions Sponsored by Music Center City Arts Featuring: Sweetwater Sweetwater is a fairly new acoustic group organized Spring/Summer of 2007. Members are Mack Arrington (Banjo, Guitar), Ray Knight (Guitar, Mandolin), Charles Long (Bass, Dobro), and Sue Roush (Mandolin, Guitar, Fiddle). The core of this group goes back to the 1970’s when Mack and Ray played together in a group called Harvest which they describe as a bluegrass band. Harvest had the expected guitar, banjo, and bass instruments, but also included some bluesy tunes with harmonica, flute, clarinet, and electric guitar. Since then Mack and Ray have focused on bluegrass ballads and gospel. In 2005 Sue started attending Covenant Fellowship Church at Bur Mill Park where she met Mack. Mack and Sue began working together on music for congregational singing. This inspired Mack to get Sue, Ray, and himself jamming informally every week at Ray’s hair salon. It wasn’t long before Sue felt the group needed a bass player for a fuller sound and to keep everyone together! She invited her friend Charles to join and Sweetwater was born. The four have grown together since the summer of 2007, concentrating on a repertoire of music that reflects not only traditional bluegrass but a little of everything; Classics, Country, Folk, Rock, and Gospel.

Across every segment of the company’s operations, BMI has rededicated $1668 itself to be “the future of performing rights.” We are building upon our core competencies to ensure BMI’s continued relevance in a dynamic market, guided by principles of continuous improvement and innovation. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012, BMI reported revenues of $898.7 million and royalty distributions to our affiliates totaling $749.8 million. These results represent a decline over the prior year, due primarily to the impact of the industry–wide settlement with the radio industry, which was announced in June. Excluding the impact of this settlement, BMI revenues would have increased by 4.1%. $529 BMI operates under GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) and was required to absorb in FY 2012 the full amount of a one–time refund to RMLC stations of $70.5 million related to prior years.

Becky Buller is the first person in the 27-year history of the International Bluegrass Music (IBMA) awards to ever win in both an instrumental and vocal category. That’s right, folks. EVER! In fact, this fiery-haired fiddling St. James, Minn., native has garnered FIVE IBMA awards in the last two years: the 2016 Fiddler and Female Vocalist along with 2015 Songwriter, Emerging Artist and Recorded Event Of The Year for her version of Bill Monroe’s “Southern Flavor”. She heads up the Becky Buller Band and has written songs recorded by some of the best in the industry, including Ricky Skaggs, Rhonda Vincent, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, and the Infamous Stringdusters, just to name a few. She penned the title cut of Special Consensus’ album Scratch Gravel Road, a 2013 Bluegrass Album Of The Year Grammy nominee. Becky’s other notable honors include: featured in the July 2015 issue of Bluegrass Unlimited magazine; featured on the Spring 2012 cover of Fiddler magazine; awarded the 2006 IBMA Recorded Event of the Year nod for her work with the Daughters of Bluegrass; and named the 2001 bluegrass category winner at MerleFest’s Chris Austin Songwriting contest.

Becky can also be heard on Pickin’ Like A Girl (Blue Circle, 2013), by the Daughters of Bluegrass as well as Flying (Organic, 2013) and Snapshots (Mountain Home, 2015) from Darin & Brooke Aldridge and multiple recordings from Valerie Smith & Liberty Pike.
