Broken String Band



Kneeling - Dave Mogkan, Reeves Petroff
Gerry Bishop, Hallie Rugheimer, Nancy Padilla, Phil Schladweiler, Mary Petroff 

Just received an email about some friends playing at the Wilsall Montana Dance Hall.

Phil was out to visit last summer (2012).  He plays an excellent old time banjo style.  We sat out on the deck and had a great time picking tunes.
Gerry is the ONLY drummer that was actually invited and encouraged to come to our jams when we were in Montana.
Hallie (on keyboard) has kept the Broken String Band of Bozeman, MT rolling for over 25 years.
Nancy - Fiddler - none better and a great instructor as well.
Revees plays guitar and is a master of the Resonator guitar (Dobro).
Mary will keep the band in time on that bass
Dave calls Contra Dances and everyone definitely has fun when he is in the room.

We will have to get some fiddlers and friends together and do a contra dance sometime.  It is a great time.

On the Wilsall Montana Dance Hall website, there are photos of a lot of musical friends including some of my old band - The Pretty Good String Band as well.
