I am currently just sort of dreaming of the next instrument I want to play and those look interesting. Please let me know when you get some time....matt

At 9:18am on May 6, 2011, Matt Gallagher said…: Hi! I set up a group for CBG players in and around the Twin Cities. It'll be a great way to network with local players, start up jam groups, teach, learn, and play. Join if you're interested!
