2010 Rural Rhythm Records
Produced by Randy Kohrs
Recorded at Slack Key Studio, Nashville, TN
“Quicksand” is another first-class production from Randy Kohrs which includes some excellent accompaniment by artists including Scott Vestal, Mike Sumner, Clay Hess, Bryan Sutton, Tim Crouch, Adam Steffey, Russell Moore and many, many others. This CD includes a powerful mix of contemporary bluegrass, blues, country and gospel.
What stands out in this album are the powerful lyrics especially in the gospel-ish tunes ” If You Think Its Hot Here” and the title-track, “Quicksand”. If you are looking for a traditional-bluegrass CD this is not the album for you, however if you feel like jumping the fence this is just the album for you. With a line-up of pickers, vocalist and song variety this CD leaves you wanting more, so purchase it online or run down to the nearest store and join the rest of us in the “Quicksand.”

Introducing Hot Mandolin Licks Premier Product Offering: Hot Mando Licks Volume 1 & 2
Pick the Licks the Pros Know – An instructional product designed to help spice up improvisational mandolin players.
So often mandolin players are looking for the magic bullet to spice up their playing and will turn to complete tabbed breaks to try and isolate bits and pieces to help brighten up their playing and improvisation. However, it’s difficult to hear the “licks” and isolate them. With the Hot Mandolin Licks series of products, the player will find 50 great licks for their playing, in both tab and audio recordings for a special low price of only $9.99 for a download or $14.99 for each CD and Ebook. No need to spend a fortune and any one of these great licks will really add to the player repertoire of musical licks!
Created by Rob Lawson, an accomplished bluegrass, blues and rock player, these licks are original and ready to please. Each lick is individually recorded and ready for practice sessions to ease them into the player’s arsenal of material. Free sample licks and a free informational newsletter are also available at the site.
There are now three varieties of Hot Licks available for banjo, guitar and mandolin. Fiddle Licks are in the works and due out next as well as more titles for the original three instruments.
The website is ready to provide any additional information that you may need. www.HotMandolinLicks.com
If you are a child between the ages of 4-18, or an adult beginner and play an
acoustical instrument, and love Bluegrass Music, you are invited to
come and jam, form your band and pick! Parents must stay with their children.

http://bluegrassmusicjams.com/jamjournal/wp-admin/post-new.phpinvite all who would like to come and JAM outside with us.
The Copper Cup coffee house in Bloomington, In. is looking for musicians to play during the summer on their Coffee house Deck. They are excited about the possibilities and opportunities that this would provide for any musicians.
We will be holding our monthly jam session at Grounds For Thought in downtown Bowling Green next Sunday, April 25. While it is an acoustic jam, I am thinking of focusing in on bluegrass and related styles this month. Perhaps more of an uptempo jam of instrumental and vocal tunes? Let me know your thoughts and hope to see you there!
Come on out and support the Bluegrass and Old-Time scene in Northwest Ohio!
