Your copy should arrive momentarily. I sent it Monday.
Sorry all for the delay. I took these to work with me all packaged up and ready to ship on March 19th. Fate stepped in, and I ended up following my wife's ambulance to the hospital. Long story short, we had our twins that evening under emergency circumstances at 33.5 weeks. Everybody is happy and healthy today, but we've been thru some adventures over the last 5 weeks. I'll throw a couple of pictures into the gallery.
Also, Brad (MI) and Chuck (VA), copies have been sent to you was well.
I'm happy to crank out additional copies, now that I've mastered the process, it takes only a few moments. Sounds like MWoody can make copies as well. Drop one or the other of us a note with your address and you'll receive a copy. |

You are talking about the DVDs and not the Twins, right?
I'm glad to hear that all is well with your family. Don't let this duplication thing get out of hand! Your poor wife! :eek:
Peace |

Don't worry,..On the nights that the baby's keep you awake you can sing them to sleep as you play your LX. Then Everybody's Happy,..Well depending on how hormonal your wife gets...it might make you happy-Not sure about her.
Congrats and take Care. |

Glad everyone is doing well. |

I appreciate your thoughtfulness of others on the board. By the Way The OFC Guitar Pick Was a nice Touch Too! Thanks Again ! Good Luck with the twins! |

Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | Thanks, David! I finally sat down to watch the program this AM. Truly impressive operation. Aaron was a good choice to host the show. Is this the same series that John Ratzenberger does? Or is it a specially prepared promotional vehicle? Rick Hall is great, and very poised. Those lucky guys doing the final testing....must have paid their kharma dues somehow. And the double-neck, I thought they were only made overseas.
Send out more dvd's, it is sure to swell the ranks for MotherShip III. |

Location: Fayetteville, NC | Great Looking Photo. I remember seeing it in Guitar player some time ago. Lost the issue, but I clearly remember seeing it. Got my made in America DVD and i musthave wathed it at least 6 Times by now. It was interesting to see the guitars being made and tested. What was even more interesteing was seeing Rick hall show Aaron Tippin the Bowl. it was Clearly an LX Bowl. But when this was shot I don't think any of us knew about the LX upgrade yet.(Well Maybe Al and a few others that had attended Namm and got the early heads up) The ending with the Tippin Video and the live unplugged version intertwined was really well Done. Would've loved to have seen Aaron with the Bell tower in the Background.
The show was really well done!! Thanks DVD for sending it! |

Really wish I could have gave you all a heads up but I have to respect the wishes of the powers that be.

Thanks for the dvd. Sorry to take so long getting back to you on this. It came in while I was last in Virginia to pick up a car and a few other things and bring them to Illinois. I finally got a chance to watch the show, and it is really great. I will be sharing this with a few of my friends here. Thanks also for the pick. Now if I can just find a job and buy a house here, I will be able to get that new LX I have been wanting. :) |

I received my copy on Friday. I watched it last night. I also watched it this morning with the rest of my family. We all enjoyed it. Many thanks.
I saw my brother, sister-in-law and their twin girls. I can tell by watchhing them that you have your hands full. It's amazing that you had the time to burn the DVD's.
I am not familiar with the Made in America program. What station does it usually air on.
Is it a program that is only in your local area?
Does anyone know the local New York station ?

Yeah, it's a great DVD. It really makes me wish I could have gone to the factory tour. Oh well.. some day. :)
This DVD came to me from alpep via Nils. Al sent out several with the intent of having a bit of a DVD-copy-tree. The other copies vanished into the woodwork near as I can tell, but I'm happy to keep sending out DVD's. I think MWoody has copies available, too.
I'm not sure what network "Made In America" appears (appeared?) on.. every once in a while I search for it with my TiVo, but no luck, at least here in my neck of the woods.

Thank you for my copy of the DVD...I've watched it 3 or 4 times already!!
How are the girls?....Are they growin'?
The John Ratzenberger's Made In America show airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on the Travel Channel....Super show - I've seen about 4 episodes (John Deere,Campbell soup,Louisville Slugger,Craftsman tools) but of course I missed the one where he toured the Gibson guitar factory!!!

I don't think it is connected to the Made in America series on GAC.....might be where they got the idea though!! |

It is on some cable systems and satellite providers. Usually the ones that do not offer CMT.
The Cable System that my Parents Have in Tyler, Texas has it on their Channel Line-up. Same type of programming lineup as CMT. Country Music Videos and Specials. The Grand Ole Opry is now on GAC after Negotiations with CMT fell Thru. |
