What a treat; I got to visit with Sharon Gilchrist at Ucross, Wyoming last weekend. She, Darol Anger, and Laurie Lewis were there as artists in residence, and gave a really nice show before they...

Hi all:

I know this Christmas and Holiday season won't be the best for everybody, but I'm still wishing you just that; the very best possible.

Just a heads up. Will recently told me he is currently making F models.

Cheers,

Very cool. Makes me want to learn how to do that. Bill

Cat hair. She thinks it's her bed.

It's nice to see classy mandolin artwork. My wife drew my Aria years ago. It's on my office wall. Cheers, Bill

Recently, A professional musician played his Ellis F and then my KimbleBB25. He was gracious enough to do it several times while I sat out front.

Pretty different...
