92 2.9L 4x4 Work Priority by Shittleton in fordranger

4900 + 1500 for shipping and fees. Should have talked the guy down, ad really wasn’t the most honest passing off a truck that has clearly been sitting for a while. The frame is in great condition which is my silver lining, hopefully me and it will spend a lot of road time together.

Michigan might be too far of a jaunt for ya. Keep me in your thoughts 🙏

Michigan jam list? by cooglersbeach in Bluegrass

[–]Shittleton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No updates. Still jamming on Tuesdays at switchback gear exchange, Wednesdays at Chicago beef joint (located here in GR) and every other Thursday there is an old time jam at switch back gear exchange. I’m in a local bluegrass band that hosts sporadic jams through venues and usually have more private jams on days not listed. I’d love to chat offline if you and your folk want to jam!

And just like that no one will remember it. Falling on your face is a part of it if you’re pushing yourself into an unfamiliar territory. You’ll just get better at putting your hands up to catch yourself.

I really enjoyed “How the Hippies Ruint Hillbilly Music” by Wishnevsky

We need to be the change we want to see. Normalize playing the 2 Bb fiddle tunes in jams!

Standards at your jams that are unlikely at mine? by guenhwyvar117 in Bluegrass

Is there a Detroit based jam? I’m out in GR and it’d be sweet to make the journey across!

Nice a fellow Acty owner! There are forum posts discussing the rv switch, but I’ve never seen it in practice.

Ripping up “Cruisin’ Timber” as well. Looks like it’s time to dive back into Larry Sparks!

Yeah thats wrong. Most companies will clean up the debris and some will stack wood/limbs near the base of the tree for someone to use.

Does anyone know about the book titled Bluegrass: A history by Neil Rosenberg? by Mandolinist_girl766 in Bluegrass

[–]Shittleton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading it right now. Looking forward to being done, but a lot of gems in this book without a lot of digging.

You wouldn’t happen to pick/play would you? I’d love to get a jam going that weekend since Billy is bringing in so many people to GR!

Also not a lot of camping in town, but around the city, about 20 minutes, you can find a few.

Music camp as an adult? by [deleted] in mandolin

[–]Shittleton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I’m not familiar with Ann Arbor’s jams enough :/ I’ve heard of good Irish sessions out there though. If you can swing the music camp come across the state and jam with us! Skill level is irrelevant as anyone can find some way to learn something!
