No Comment:

I've been pleased to see so many visitors over the months and days, but no comments are left.  Is it offensive to find bluegrass news juxtaposed to needy singletude?  Let me know.  Give opinion, please.

Upcoming Jam and Shameless Advertisement



Howdy Folks,
Uncle Dave the banjo player and Blind Nicky Nicastro here wonderin’ if you like to hear a banjo, fiddle or keyboard playin’ Bluegrass , Ragtime, Folk, Oldies,  Country and a variety of other music.  And that’s not all.  We combine our tunes with lots of good clean humor and even a wild poem should the situation call for something completely different.
Got a piano?  Nicky can play tunes that’ll leave you wantin’ to have us  back again.    Got a tight budget? 

We’re affordable!   I guarantee it!   No money at all?  Charities welcome!  Just ask.  Call  me  at:  602-419-8577.  Sincerely, Nicky & UncleDave. You’ve got a  big event or party?!   We’re   expandable with a full P.A. and  more musicians too.  Just ask!   4 U Band.  Catch Nick, Dave and Friends at the Glendale Foothills Public Library Wednesday night June 3rd 6:30 to 7:45. FREE!

The fun starts at 6:30 and ends as the place closes close to 8.  Our Foothills jams (mentioned below) have grown to a nice group of around ten or so musicians and singers who are so dependable and quick, Nick and I probably jam with them two to four times a month.  That often and you're bound to get comfortable with each other's tunes.

Nicky and I have inherited another jam!  Rick R. who hosted the Knights of Columbus Jam discussed below, couldn't reliably attend anymore and offered the stewardship of it to us.  It draws better musicians than your average jam and the beer is only $1.50 a stein!  Life is good!

I co-host a jam with blind Nicky Nicastro, classically trained fiddler and it is gaining steam.  It's a jam described below, the Foothills Library jam has been passed from
