Last two years the Django Festival in Fontaineblue made realy up, they had amazing line up with 75 % GJ , we are growing thanks to YT

I would pay more for a ticket to see a full band(in order to cover visa costs). I don’t think small venues are charging enough for tickets and in that regard paying musicians enough (of course). You get what you pay for.

[@JimmyGrantMusic]

@@adampayne6674 yes, it's true. I've played some non profits, and they take 40% sometimes even more ...

Thanks for the Interview! When Rino played on my guitar, it was simply THE sound I was always looking for. Before that I thought I still have to find the right guitar for a tone like that haha

[@JimmyGrantMusic]

Rino is fantastic!

Thanks for the great discussion… but out of curiosity, why the ‘no comment’ regarding bluegrass? I’m intrigued. Please explain. Thanks.

[@JimmyGrantMusic]

It's more just an inside joke for my dislike of the banjo, which isn't entirely true. 😂

[@Jahchristo]

@ oh i get it! I’m from a family of bluegrass musicians, and in all the bands I’ve been involved with the banjo pickers are the recipients of a bit of fun at their expense. What’s the best thing about throwing a banjo into a dumpster? When it lands on an accordion. Seriously though, the bluegrass guitar masters revere Django and Hot Club players- Tony Rice, Clarence White, Scott Nygaard, Mark O’Conner, and others, you can hear the influence. I love it and have been soaking up as much as I can, learning on an ‘84 Alvarez Yairi classical, which sounds pretty darn good! Hey Willie wanted to sound like Django, right? Looking forward to a Selmer/Mac style, but as a grad student, I’m on a tight budget. Soon I’m going to sign up for your tutorials. Thanks for your expertise!

[@JimmyGrantMusic]

@Jahchristo same! I grew up touring around the country with my dad's bluegrass lessons. If you are interested in some lessons and things, why don't you shoot me an email at [e-mail]!
