Irish Mandolin in VA?

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

Does anyone know of any mandolinists (mandolinites?) in the Shenandoah Valley? Preferably close to Harrisonburg...

I've got a mandolin and want to take lessons. There are a number of bluegrass and old time musicians out here, but no sessions that I've stumbled across.

Go raibh math agat!

Out on Rte 11, sort of mid-way between H'burg and Staunton, just past Rocky's Gold & Silver shop on the right hand side of the road, is a little antique/junk mini-strip mall that is open Thurs-Sun. At one end of the building is a store selling-- you guessed it-- mandolines. I think the owner is named Jerry, and I do believe he gives lessons.

Slan, agus beannacht De!

post script--if you are coming down that far, just keep heading south and we'll meet up in Staunton.
