Fretboard Journal's first five years

The marvellous quarterly Fretboard Journal, based in Seattle, is completing its fifth year of publication, and issue #20 is already in the post to subscribers. Bela Fleck is among the artists featured; more about the new issue can be read here.

Issue #19 (see photo left) was pretty staggering, the main feature being a 'conversation' between Sam Bush and Tim O'Brien which, for bluegrass people, is worth the price of the issue all by itself. The FJ video gallery includes this footage of Bush and O'Brien playing 'Soldier's joy' together.
