Dan's Bio:
Started playing drums in NYC a long time ago.
Played many styles over the years, including blues,
country, rock and jazz.
Moved out to SF about 13 years ago. A few years ago
started playing the piano as well as drums. I play a set of Yamaha
drums.
Dave's Bio:
Grew up in southern Ohio. Started playing a Sigma guitar in 1976
when I was 20. Never really flatpicked much though. Stopped playing
when we had kids in the late 80's. Bought my first mandolin when I
was 40 and have been playing it ever since. Met Dan through our children's
school and had the pleasure to play with him on the children's float
in a parade. We now get together once a month in his basement for
a session starting with him on drums and me playing old time tunes
on mandolin to get warmed up. We then proceed to him on piano and
me playing slower versions of various old time favorites. These tunes
were recorded on my portable Minidisk recorder with a home made microphone.
My current mandolin is a Cole which I whole heartedly recommend as
a great instrument at a reasonable price. Check out other tunes at
