The Shady Grove Band actually book some shows in PA for this year. Its the first real gigs we've had as a group in 2 years. Im playing with 4 groups now, but it will be great to get the SGB some work again. Todd Taylor was asking about doing some session work on some of his projects, so we'll see how that shapes up.

Dave Magram says: 1/30/2011 10:13:37 AM Hi Laurence, You've mentioned a few times about your playing experience. I'm curious to know who you were playing with when you were touring, and what instruments you were playing. -Dave
	Laurence Diehl says: 1/31/2011 11:52:19 AM Hi Dave - thanks for the interest. I wouldn't want to turn this into a very long blog all about me so I will try and keep it brief. I moved here from England in 76 and started with the Morris Bros. out of Charleston WV. But by 1980 I was playing electric guitar in various roadbands - Rick Phelps from Kentucky Headhunters you might have heard of. Country, country rock, swing, blues rock etc. I also play alto and tenor sax.I would play in Bluegrass and Dawg-like bands on the side. I never played music I hated, but you know how it is - gotta make that money! Laurence
	Banjophobic says: 1/31/2011 12:37:45 PM I think it would be great for members to give a synopsis of their playing careers. It would help us to know each other better. Thanks for that Laurence. SOunds like you were very well rounded, genre wise.
John Kuhn says: 1/31/2011 7:34:32 PM This is a blog about Joe's exp with Marty Stuart...I thought.......LOL. Im interested Joe!!!
	joemac says: 1/31/2011 10:55:06 PM Yeah , no offence guys, but new subject matter could be started by opening a new thread, that way we get several interesting threads going, sorry to sound grumpy over this.
	Banjophobic says: 2/1/2011 10:35:36 AM Good point Joe. Its hard to keep up with this blog format. Back on topic..Yeah, Marty is a very underrated picker. Hes a nice guy too. Did you get to chat with him any? I'll start another thread with "Intros" as the topic. Are you guys alright with me deleting all these non pertinent posts here,even this one?
	joemac says: 2/1/2011 10:37:25 AM Hey John, its fine with me man, i just think itb would be good to have several subjects on the go.
	Banjophobic says: 2/1/2011 11:09:09 AM Ok, I'll delete the non-pertinent ones. If anyone wants to copy them/move to another topic, nows the chance.
