Hello friends,

It's time to let all my good friends know what I'm up to in musical activities. Take a look at my schedule (below and attached) and come on out to some of these events. I'd love to see you there.

To all those who are trying to improve your playing or would like to learn to play bluegrass, please consider signing up for the week-long music camp called Common Ground on the Hill. Their Bluegrass week, coordinated with the D.C Bluegrass Union, is held on the campus of McDaniel College, Westminster MD from July 12th through 17th. There is instruction on all the bluegrass instruments; I'll be teaching bass on two levels, and assisting in the jams. You can stay in campus housing and spend a week improving your skills and joining others, of like mind, who are jamming. See www.commongroundonthehill.org

Yours, Tom Gray
