What is a web site without links?

• Gryphon is the excellent stringed instrument store where I teach lessons. They sell, repair, teach, and talk to anyone.

• My daughter Molly is a pretty fair musician herself, now with her own web site.
  
  
• I do many of my performances with Bluegrass Stomp. We do quite a few weddings, private parties and even contra dances and square dances.
  
  
• The California Bluegrass Association is California's biggest BG organization and they put on the big Grass Valley Bluegrass Festival on Father's Day weekend.
  
  
• The Redwood Bluegrass Association puts on great bluegrass concerts in Mountain View, usually with top bands from back East.
  

• Frank Ford is Gryphon's co-owner and repair guru. He has a web site with repair and instrument care tips. Visit frets.com just to see the pictures, if nothing else.

• I am the music editor for Fiddler Magazine. Pick up a copy at Gryphon or order from their web page.

• John Kael's BluegrassLyrics.com has the lyrics to a lot of songs and they're pretty accurate. He concentrates on the standards and the big three: Bill Monroe, Flatt and Scruggs, and the Stanley Brothers. What more could you ask for?

• Ken Torke makes the best picks for bluegrass guitar or mandolin. Find out how on mandoliner.com. He is also in a local bluegrass band called the Mighty Crows.

• The Santa Clara Valley Fiddler's Association has jams the first Sunday of every month. And you can find out about other jams from their web site.

• Go to the Brittany Haas site for the schedule of one of the greatest fiddlers around.
