My wife grew up playing the Mandolin and Octave Mandola in The San Diego Mandolin Orchestra, and she has enjoyed playing the Mandolin her entire life. Over the past year (2011), I began reading music and playing the Mandolin as well. It is a challenge, but it has been very enjoyable. I'm also taking up photography as a new hobby, and I hope to combine these two interest of mine on this blog site.

Our 2nd Rehearsal - Our New Location
We had our second rehearsal tonight at our new permanent location, Cross Church of Springdale. We had fewer people tonight, but we were able to really work through 4 of our songs. By the end of the evening, we had played through Dreams of the Night, Tic Toc Polka, La Raspa, and El Vaquero. Although I was so focused on my part I couldn't really hear the entire group, I think we actually sounded pretty good for our 2nd rehearsal.
Hopefully next week we'll have a larger group. Tonight there was a lot of talk about heavy storms (and possible tornadoes), so that may have kept people at home. But we are excited about the possibilities with this group.
If you live around Northwest Arkansas, why not come out and join us next week!
