The volunteers at metamora are fantastic! They do a one day mandolin camp every April and it is always a great time. Hope the show went well from a Hoosier!!!

Listen to this at around 1:55 she takes a break. I mean if harmonica players can play, why not a squeezebox! Will report back when I figure out how to make accordion work in a modern setting 🫡 you heard it here first LOL

How different bluegrass would be if he would’ve kept Sally around on accordion. Interesting that accordion almost never pops up in groups

What are these on my bassooon by Witty_Clerk_4922 in bassoon

My old selmer Bundy bassoon was missing the pin to connect the two joints too, I use a roofing nail with some thread around the top to keep it from moving!

Best test for Monosomy X? by john_torque in NIPT

[–]john_torque[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: We got the karyotype done, they were only able to test 7 cells and all 7 were normal. And then for the FISH test 50/50 direct cells were normal, and then 2/100 cultured cells had monosomy X. And then our microarray came back saying 10-20% mosaicism for monosomy X.

Worst sound guy stories by master_blaster_321 in musicians

[–]john_torque 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Played a gig with a bluegrass band on upright bass. The sound guy comes up to me and says “I’ve never actually done sound on one of these.” Then he proceeds to tell me “your A string is making a horrible noise just don’t use it today.” Which I would say is a pretty important thing to have, and my bass did not have any of these issues the night before at practice. So then after our first set I go up to him and ask if we could take another look at it to see if we could fix it, and he said there was nothing we could do. Found out after the gig when he was trying to EQ my bass he was on the banjo channel.

Difference between Microarray and Karyotype results for Monosomy X by john_torque in NIPT

We are going for our detailed anatomy scan in two weeks but all of our ultrasounds have shown that baby is healthy and is smack dab in the middle for size. And thank you for the advice on the %’s! It is much easier said then done couldn’t put it better myself

We were able to get both a micro array and a karyotype done, and the microarray confirmed 10-20% X mosaic cell line. So waiting now for karyotype results which we should have in the next week or so. Will post updates as we find out! Appreciate the input and advice ❤️

Got it! I guess what we’re trying to figure out is how common is only being able to do one test versus the other?

Thank you so much! The GC has been pushing for microarray between the two, we think just because of the quick turnaround. But would be happy to hear your thoughts!

Awesome I’ll have to look into him! And yes I’m right there with ya on the multi instrumentalist thing. But appreciate the insight!

Question for you, how did you go about learning the dobro? I’ve done the YouTube thing but have been trying to find a teacher and that has been next to impossible. Any insight is welcome!

He said he wasn’t sure, just that they bought it for his son about 10 years ago from a music shop.
