Mandolin music

Have not had any free time to play on ag for a time. Need to ask a question.

I was with the flu a month or 2 ago and while asleep on the couchIheard amosbeautiful song from a man named Marty Setwart ( I think ) It was on Austin City Limits I think? Couldnt tell you the name of the song or any details, (had some really great cough syrup from the dr.)
Decided then I needed to learn to play this instrument.
My father in-law has already did the bluegrass thing 20 yrs ago and I like bluegrass but not what I'm after.

I like the sound of Heart, and some alt.country sounds but would like to expand my horizions. Dont really like the celt or even the Jethro Tull sound but I can appreciate good or original good music.

Dont know what I am really after, not something to try to replicate playing im still learning chords and runs. ( but I do play a vintage Gibson lp and a tube marshall)

Kind of likespacey hipnotic music, alt.rock, alt.country or anything really cool or in great taste.

Of course anything by David Grisman as mentioned above. DG
tends toward alt.bluegrass as opposed to alt.country. Sam
Bush is also in this category.

For alt.country bands, I think you'd really like Leftover
Salmon and String Cheese Incident.

Also check out anything with Matt Flinner. He's been touring
with Leftover Salmon recently but has a couple of solo discs
on Compass - check out "A View From Here" great stuff. More jazz influence than the DG/SB stuff.
