I love the sound of mandolin and banjo together, maybe if somebody is on the South shore we can get together.I'm in Mansfield I would like somebody close, not an hour's drive. Thanks

And this specifically relates to CH/OT how? Perhaps you meant to move it to other bjo related topics but not specifically ch?

iI would prefer playing with an old time player. This would be the right place then.

Reading an old post of yours you want to chop along on your mandolin with a banjo player. Chop chords don't really get used in Old Time, it's more of a Bluegrass thing, using the mandolin as a percussive backup. Old Time mandolin tends towards open chords and playing single note lines along with the fiddler.

Have you checked the BBU webpage? There are some old time jams around- in Waltham for example. I'm not sure most people along the South Shore would think of Mansfield as part of the South Shore which stretches from Quincyto Plymouth- but then I live in Braintree and teach in Hull, so for me the South Shore definitely is taken littorally.

I go to the jam in Waltham most Sundays- it starts at 6- has various names- Watch City Opry, The Skellig Jam, and That Old Time Jam in Waltham....
We have people coming from as far as Providence RI and Nashua NH - it's fine times
Bring your mandolin, banjo, fiddle, and guitar, uke, bass, no trombone player yet but ya never know...
