Meeting at Owensboro -- Jim Richter, octave mandolin

Please visit http://www.jimrichter.com for more about me.

A little tune I wrote this weekend, anticipating the fun to be had reuniting with Bill Monroe enthusiasts at this year's Monroe Camp in Owensboro. As I only live 90 miles from Owensboro, I look forward to the backroads drive through Southern Indiana, guaranteed to be beautiful and peaceful.

The Monroe Mandolin Camp is held each year by the International Bluegrass Music Museum in Owensboro, Kentucky. You can learn more about it at this link.

The octave mandolin was made by my friend Will Kimble:

It's an octave with the bottom two strings tuned in octave pairs--pretty unique!
