A number of years ago my wife and I went to see the Down-east Maine trio Schooner Fare in Paramus, NJ; for those of you who aren't familiar they've been a fixture on the Northeast Corridor folk circuit for four decades, played Wolf Trap on numerous occasions, shared bills with many top-name performers (Tommy Makem, Tom Paxton, Christine Lavin, among others), and had a couple of chart-topping recordings in Ireland...
After the show I got to talking with the bass player and banjo player - told them I was a fellow musician...
Picked up a new 4-string tuning and a couple hints to smooth out my bass tone and keep from overloading the amp input -
and they were more than happy to share...
Classy guys - and if we weren't already lifetime fans they would have made two on the spot...
