Dag nabit Pete, you get to have all the fun. Street parties in the midst of a bushfire and now playin a Sprite at Steve's joint, man hows that for luck.
Seriously, Pete have a great time and give me an occassional email and if you get a chance ask in someone has one of those fancy $35 Blue Chip picks and tell me if it is worth the money.
Have a great time y'all.
Cheers
John
Pete/John, I'll bring a BC to the tasting...

Fantastic. That's about the same as the weather here at the moment. No acclimatising (or acclimating in American speak) to do.

Anyone?...... Time? Need to know to see if I have to re-schedule a house call I have for Sat @ 1 pm.
DUH! sorry....thank you Jeff.
As I was dealing with some belt buckle scratches on the back of a new mandolin (gouged in by by a professional player with wild abandon, I might add!), I realized that some guidelines might be appropriate for the MandoTasting West --
YES -
- Instruments with even and odd numbers of strings
- A wide variety of picks
- Jamming, playing, shredding, and even quiet picking in a corner
- Staring in awe at the instruments
- Fondling and caressing the instruments with loving adoration
- Smokin' fast licks
- Beverages of all sorts (not on the instruments)
- Snacks and food of all sorts (not on the instruments either!)
- Critical discussion of the instruments
- Musical diversity
NO -
- Metal belt buckles
- Western shirts with metal-laden snaps
- Digging fingernails or picks into the tops of the instruments in wild abandon
- Politics
- Religion
- Fondling and caressing of anything other than the instruments
- Smoking
- Empty refrigerator or coolers
- Critical discussion of the players
- Musical snobism -- It's OK play "Wagon Wheel" if you really want to . . .
See you Saturday!
Steve
ok, ill erase the chords to it

Where'd it go? I was just getting up to speed - now I've forgotten it.
Qantas flight QF0107 will be rolling down the runway at Sydney's Kingsford-Smith airport bound for LA (hopefully with me strapped in to seat 74A) in about 18 hours. Hope I packed enough Reg Grundys.
Looking forward to meeting you Pete. If you get in a bind on Friday, or indeed anyday, I can help out. I've PM.d my phone number...
Eddie.
Thanks Eddie.
