I'm in the Atlanta Journal and Constitution!

The local jam I attend in Marietta at the Australian Bakery was featured in a newspaper article this week. Although I was slightly miss quoted I did get a plug for Buzzard Mountain Instruments! It's a fun jam with a pretty big turn out and a ton of people who come just to listen.

You can read it here:AJC Online Article

I've met a lot of great people from this jam and I encourage all of you who play to find a local jam and attend it!

This was a fun project and I'm glad I got the chance to restore this old rim to a playable condition, hopefully the owner will have many years of enjoyment out of this one!
