Hey, I feel you man. I jumped on board the sight about a month ago and haven't found much contact myself. I live in Decatur, picked up a 5-string back in January and have been plugging...I mean plunking away since. I'm definitely in people seeking/picking gathering mode, and have good proximity to different opportunities, it's just difficult to find someone who can/will tutor you on the spot or a group that'll jam out to eight rounds of "Boil Them Cabbage Down". All that to say

Well, until I looked at curman's profile I didn't even know about groupls. I asked for the site to update when stuff happens, so maybe I'll know what's going on in Georgia - with the two of you, at least! I've only been playing since Christmas. Likek you, I can get through a couple of versions of "Boil Them Cabbage Down," but I haven't worked up the courage to show up at a jam with that huge repretoire under my belt! LOL!

I went to a bluegrass festival down here last month wit a buddy who plays guitar. He talked me into bringing my banjo, which was cool until the fella leading the jam said go ahead.play us one banjo man. I just about crapped my pants, then I explained that I was just starting and wasn't ready yet. That just made me want to work harder so next time I can say ok and get down.

Southeastern Bluegrass Association (SEBA) has a concert and jam here in Fayetteville on the third Sunday of every month. I think I'm going over this month and check it out - without my banjo, though. I'd like to get a feel for what goes on. I'm not sure I'm ready for someone to say "play us one banjo man."

That would be a long ride for me to do on a regular basis.

Yessir but there is nothing wrong with a road trip now and then. Especially when it comes to banjos and bluegrass. Tree my dog!!

I find my self stuck, I play cripple creek pretty good and I'm starting to kinda make stuff up but I think if I could get with some folks and jam I could learn quicker.
