    My lips are sealed as well, and there won't be any jams in my room on the fifth floor of the Marano, and Bruce won't be there to crack open the single malt. Or will he.....?

    I won't bring my A2Z because I don't want Geoff Clarkson to look at it.

    I'm unable to go, but I am sending my own personal Clark JM there for all to covet and adore. Check it out among the other many great new instruments Austin will have on display at his booth. (New OM, too!)

    I assume that don't want us to give it the "Bill Monroe" treatment, eh?

    I wont be going because I'm fearful that Martin might show me his A2Z.... actually I'm really not going... I've heard that the Moron-oh hotel has really cracked down on/revamped the jamming and hanging out policies such that it just might be about as fun as an insurance convention.....can anyone confirm these rumors? No jamming in the lobby or halls? no one allowed on any floors without a room key? That's just the beginning of the list..

    I'll be there all 4 days. So will that Bertoncini F5 that I have for sale.

    Re jamming: following lifted from Acoustic Sound's January newsletter:

    Just in case you've heard otherwise, let's set the record straight. Jamming is happening everywhere at Wintergrass. Bring your instrument. Hook up with old friends. Meet new ones. Play tunes! Learn tunes.
    The first thing you'll notice this year is a big tent in the courtyard. Our friends at the California Bluegrass Association will be hosting late night jams and shows in the tent. Otherwise, the heated tent is yours for jamming and hanging out with friends. Umm, just in case you wondered, no sleeping in the tent.

    Jamming in the lobby. Yes. Remember the last time you went on a hike? Did you see the signs that asked you to stay on the trail and not trample the delicate wildflowers and tundra? The lobby is magnificent and filled with truly beautiful and delicate things. Treat it like you'd treat your favorite trail - with respect and care. Our pals at the Murano are moving out some of the most delicate things to make room for guitars, banjos and you! There will be a few lobby places where jamming will be restricted and we ask that you respectfully comply. For the most part though, you can do what you've always done.

    Thanks Cara for the clarification on that. CBA tent sounds like a great idea.They should have started that years ago!

    Ted, will your mandolin wander around and take pictures of all the people at the festival?
