I'll be there with two bandmates (whistle, flute,mandolin) Patrick Dunn

Bloom, There are several great restaurants in the area, I don't know who would be willing There's the Moaning Dove a bar in Amherst where we used to have a session years ago. There's the Northampton Brewery which has a nice deck and great food. Most places in Northampton tend to be small or expensiv...

I live in Holyoke right near Northampton and Look park would be a great spot you might have to rent a pavillion there though, but there are probably plenty of places just to gather in the park. The Mt. Tom Reservation in Holyoke is a great spot with tables and small grills, but hard to navigate arou...

Hey Luis (papo), I noticed in one of your threads that you mention playing the cuatro. I play a bit on the cuatro myself.

It was not a clean break and there were splinters and things. Ralph said it was just like a puzzle and ...

Hello out there, Ralph seems to think he can epoxy it back together, but the g# hole is probably a loss. I played whistle and melodeon at the two gigs I had this weekend and am hoping to get my baby back on Wed. or thurs. I was originally in a panic but worse things can happen. i've been to see Ralp...

Ok so somebody sat on my six keyed Lehart flute last night and aside from wanting to murder them I have no idea what to do. The break is a the tenon. basically the tenon is broken off and the break also affects the g# key. I have seven gigs with my band in the next few days any advice? I'm going to ...
