Hi friends,
Sorry to post this in two places, but I think it’s probably more relevant to Colorado mando players, so here it is. My friend Jordan Ramsey just moved to town from Johnson City, TN, and he’s looking for mandolin students. His credentials (besides being the real deal from Tennessee!) are unmatched: he studied mandolin at ETSU under Jack Tottle and was a member of the ETSU Pride Band (their most prestigious ensemble) for two years. He has played on stage with many bluegrass luminaries, including Ralph Stanley, Porter Wagoner, Alison Krauss, Dan Tyminski, Adam Steffey, Tim Stafford, Hunter Berry, Raymond McLain, Curley Seckler, Tater Tate, Jack Tottle, and members of the Steep Canyon Rangers! He’s considered a master in the Jesse McReynolds style and is a highly regarded studio session player, instructor and professional touring musician back in Johnson City. Not only is he an amazing mandolin player, but he’s a great guy with a friendly and patient teaching style.
Jordan’s instructional fee is reasonable (actually a steal!) and he’ll come to your place if you don’t want to travel to Lyons. If you’re interested, give him a call at 423.202.2755.
Best,
garian
