Thanks to everyone involved in this year's OBA Gospel Show! It was a huge success - doubling last year's results! More to come on the thanks and how it went...
I went to JACKGRASS last night. What a total BLAST!! There were three floors and every room on every floor had people pickin away (except the bathroom,...
..as usual, Mark has a good sound solution. I'd volunteer! And, my girlfriend, who has a full length down coat, said she would too! Why don't we just spray...

Colby, Thanks for all your efforts also. It was indeed one of the best Gospel shows we have attended in a long time. Three excellent bands and a lovely...
Thanks to you too, Colby for your hard work. It was a great Gospel show, one of the best we have attended in a long time. Great music and a very nice crowd of...
Rod, You are confusing "being concerned" with "wanting to hear". Of course every band is concerned about what the audience hears. But as we all know, that is...
Greg, For five years, from 1975 to 1980 I ran sound six nights a week at various venues up and down the west coast. I used a Real Time Analyzer to "tune" each...
All the bands were great. It was a good time. Mason you did a fabulous job. Thanks you very much. Dave [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
I saw a post from Colby stating that the gospel show was a success. YIPPEE!!!! I must say that it was far beyond my expectations and I am so proud of all...
We wish to thank again all those who made it to the Gospel Show. The best part for us is watching the folks smile back. Thanks for the invite to play, thanks...
And it's very hard of hearing; if you don't talk or sing directly into it, it doesn't quite get the message, sorta like an old guy we had here in Carson until...
I take this to mean that flat frequency response is still the ideal, but there's a need to correct the mix for some frequencies that will disproportionately be...
Yeah...up before 9. I have "old man syndrome" which means since I turned 40, I get up before 6 whether or not I want to. I went on an awesome motorcycle...
That's correct Eddard. Each system is different, each instrument is different, each vocalist is different, each mic is different, and every venue is different....
Stick with a sound man who knows and plays bluegrass and you will probably be better off. art Rod Leap wrote: I think any self respecting band would be...
I will strongly disagree. Shira, for example, who ran sound for the Cascade Stage at River City for Stew Dodge has never played bluegrass in her life and she...
Yep. Alan Feves is just such a person. Excellent dobro player, and one of few bluegrass players with an actual education in music. He is a world class...

Mark says that the monitors don't give us what they are hearing out front, which is what I suspected and feared. So here's my thing: Shouldn't the band ask...
... Ken Says: All good points Shari, but in the real world if you turn monitors up loud enough with the same mix that is being heard out front, you would not...
I'll be doing a workshop in Bend this spring on learning how to EQ a PA system.. I'll post it in advance of the date so hopefully some of you can go... Kenc ...
I agree with Mark. As I think about the local sound men/women that I would most trust for my band, only about 20 percent are bluegrass musicians. ...and there...
It is the sound guys responsibilty to make sure your harmony line is not too load out front. The musicians are better off worrying about getting a monitor mix...
Shira was among the best to work with and put out great sound for us at RC. I would not say that it's important as a sound person to have experience working...
