Howdy,
If you're like me and didn't get accepted to Rockygrass Academy, you should try come out to the Delfest Academy. Many of the same teachers as Rockygrass, with no lottery. I've been going for the last 3 years and I wouldn't miss it (I got to play Rockytop with Del one year). Ronnie McCoury has been my mandolin teacher, and Robbie will be on banjo with Jason on fiddle and Alan on bass. It's always a bunch of fun and the lineup is always amazing. Check it out and hope to see you there the week leading up to memorial day (May 20-23)!
peace,
johnny
