78 DAYS AND COUNTING GUYS…YIPPY I YAY… :clap :dance :dance
( Somebody had to do it! lol )
Haven’t you got a telly?
Calm down girl.
only 71 days if your attending the academy… can’t wait :cheers
Lol,
Who needs a tele when you have Bluegrass! :pickin :clap :hop
ONLY 74 DAYS NOW…WAHAY!
Can’t contain my excitment any longer… :lol
Now that’s just not neighbourly :lol
It’s bad enough Rockygrass only being three days but to have missed out on Matt Flinner at the Academy!!! I could kick myself for not getting this sorted earlier. :mad :lol :lol
Always best to check how green the grass is before hoisting yourself over the fence into the neighbours garden :flower
How you keepin Boogie ?
Doing fine. Not regretting my choice for one minute, just a shame there’s not the opportunity for a session in the Academy, but, with this http://www.greyfoxbluegrass.com/artists/artists.php the week before, I think the grass is just fine ta!
Got yourself packed? Tent sorted? Altitude acclimatisation underway???
just a shame there’s not the opportunity for a session in the Academy

But there are a few new open spots, hurry go check it out.
Hey Boogie… Did you get in the academy??? They have a few spots still avilable…
:cheers
Unfortunately not. Flights have been booked for a while and I can’t change them. It just means I’ll have to listen carefully to all you guys around the campfire to see what you’ve learned! 
Oh … those academy places are looking so tempting.
I’m starting to feel a plan coming on for next year.
Carefull it’s like a fever… I want to rearrange my entire life so I can just take one class after another…
Hard to run a business from camp though :lol. Sooo somethins gotta give.
Dustin and Brian how’d you get so lucky… pretty sweet position you guys are in, trade places with ya :medal
You know what, if I can pick up some technique ‘hand me downs’ from watching the guys around the camp I’ll be happy for this year…but next year is a different matter
Yep I can understand that completely. That’s me, this year just want to look, listen and learn… not brave enough, skilled or confident enough to take mando.
Nice to know that I will get the oppertunity again next year… :flower
True. Enthusiasm’s fine but if I’m told that “it’s in Am” I’d be floundering. Plenty of time to learn though.
:lol :lol Exactly, know that you are not alone and that good things come with time and attention to detail…
I’m a detail chick, if I can’t do it well, I don’t want to put it out there…
Just pray all the good players in TP are tipsy enough not to pay attention to us :lol :lol :lol
So you flounder like a fish?? :fish :fish :festivarian
Do the Academy give you a list of songs to work on before you arrive?
I wondered how they grade people for instruction.
ONLY 66 DAYS TO GO… :pickin :dance :dance :dance
CAN WE GO YET, CAN WE GO YET? :wave
There is a songbook link, but it’s not up yet for this year, but I’m not sure what it’s for?? Here are the songs Bluegrass Bill suggested you know…
Cripple Creek
Old Joe Clark
On and On
Blackberry Blossom
Redhaird Boy
Long Journey Home
Down the Road :flower
As far as grades are concerned, I think there is no grading, just ability levels, which you can read indetail on their Web site(click Planet Bluegrass link on the top right) :cheers
