Was in Khon Kaen with my friends Dante and Alain. We had a few strums. Really learning some good stuff. Dante is a great teacher. He needs to be with my slow learning process. The more I learn the more I realize how little I know. I don't think anyone ever fully learns music as there is just so much of it. And importantly we listened to a local guy who had been learning the "pin" a three stringed instrument which they use for all Issan music. Khon Kaen University has a music department a section of which specializes in Issan music. He has attended this course. Now he travels world wide playing Issan and rock and blues. Very impressive.
Mody is a small studio in the Khon Kaen University area. Fairly basic but a lot of fun and a good central location for meeting up. And the compound hosts a "Koi" fish farm, some small crays and hydroponics. A really fun place with a great atmosphere. You can spend a few hours there just relaxing.
They also make some very good quality guitars. I think I might treat myself next year..... Don't tell Wanna......
