Missy Raines

I was fortunate enough to have some workshops with Bill, a wonderful person.

He's got Jason Carter on fiddle, Mike Compton on mandolin, David Greer on guitar, and Missy Raines on bass.

You know, we've spoken with some great artists and interesting people, and we try and make the interviews as interesting as possible and avoid many of the kind of standard scripted questions and answers and get into more substantive topics.

We're looking forward to hearing from you, and we're looking forward to getting some of your questions into the interviews in the future.

Okay, before we get to the Jam Talk, please remember, follow us at Bluegrass Brooklyn.
