    I'm going to attend. I'll keep an eye on this thread in case there are any get-togethers planned, either for jams or just a bit of mandolin chit-chat!

    I didn't get to go to Don Julin's workshop, but I did get to see his performance with Billy Strings last night. It was easily the best part of my day. They are playing again on Saturday on case you missed them last night.

    Saw this puppy at Greg Boyd's here at W'grass, and thought I'd pass it on...
    No financial interest, blah blah...

    I figure there's 600 bucks in parts alone, counting the original (handle detached) case...







    Here's the rub...
    One of the worst sunken tops (and that's saying somethin') I've seen on a Gibson A...
    Still intact, though...
    Pop the back, heated beanbags to force the top back into shape, re-brace, viola...
    Big job...







    Thought it might be up somebody's alley...
    Not mine--waaaaay too much on my plate...

    No Eddie I was holding out on you.
    Don sent me a Bolo tie made from the Florida of a mandolin we once owned.
    I went to the funeral of a friend yesterday morning then had drive 150 miles
    and get there by 1:40 to catch Della Mae at Wintergrass.
    In my rush I left the tie behind.
    It was nice meeting you and a few other members there Eddie.

    Don, I did wear the tie to an Amer. Mandolin Quartet concert last weekend and got a lot of feedback.
    I told everyone I chopped it off my May 18th Loar with a hacksaw.
    Thanks again Don.

    Spruce, That is a nice tie. But a Florida? No. I'm thinking California.

    Just got back home tonight. What a fabulous festival! Spent the last three days going to workshops, shows, and jamming. It's really too bad us humans have to stop and eat and rest or I would have done it straight thru. I haven't been up that late or thought 10am was early for quite some time now....ha

    Saw and played some wonderful custom mandolins, a $17k octave, and Eastman had all their mandos there. I tried them all and they all sounded great but I really liked the 305, didn't get one as hubby would kill me if I even mention buying another mando so soon after getting my custom Northfield.....I'll have to sneak it in.

    The workshops were great! Del McCoury and his son Ronnie sat down for 2 hours to wow the crowd and answer the required dumb pick and string questions but they handled it well, it was Del's 75th birthday and they played two killer sets. Other bands there were Della Mae, Steel Wheels, Steeldrivers, Sarah Jarosz, Joe Craven, Mr. Sun, Billy Strings and Don Julin and so many others.

    Met some fellow Cafe members and friends from other music camps. The Hyatt was a wonderful host site and all the people, cars, buildings, and concrete in Bellevue reminded me of why we moved out of the Northern Virgnia area.
