It s hard to play for strangers under any circumstanes, but he did a fine job. Nancy McKenzie broke out her mandolin this week for the first time, letting us join in on some old bluegrass standards.

Her good buddy Bill Bailey (pictured to the right) had a go at playing along with a backing track, doing some surfing tunes on his Fender Strat Fat Cat.

It s hard to play for strangers under any circumstanes, but he did a fine job. Nancy McKenzie broke out her mandolin this week for the first time, letting us join in on some old bluegrass standards. She even led us on an impromptu group song, You are My Sunshine. Thanks, Nancy! Welcome to our newest member, Loni Cox, Long time watcher, first time caller as they say on the home shopping shows. Her good buddy Bill Bailey (pictured to the right) had a go at playing along with a backing track, doing some surfing tunes on his Fender Strat Fat Cat. did most of the heavy lifting when it came to eclectic selections, with tunes ranging from Woodstock to heavy metal to Napolean Dynamite s outro song. Be on the lookout for a special (and free!) event at the library this month. On April 7th at 6:30 pm, Mark Kroos will be playing his double neck guitar. I understand they are not just for show, he plays them both. At the same time. With his shoes on.
