You did such a great job on the calendar and trinket Brad, that I'll let you try it out first. |

It would be a honor.
I had a neck reset and some fretwork done on my Balladeer last year. I picked it up at the tour. It works out great and there is no need to worry about shipping mishaps.
I'm going to bring my Breadwinner to pass around. |

Location: SoCal | I haven't brought a guitar the last 2 years (hell, you bring one and people expect you to play the damn thing!), but I'm thinking this year I might bring my 1773LX. It won't have volume to keep up in the jams, but I suspect that people would be interested in playing it. |

Paul;
I wouldn't trust that precious guitar to the airlines. Ship it out to me and I'll drive it up with mine. Ship it NOW to guarantee that it gets here in time;-) |

And I could read your sarcasim two ways.
Straight up now...are your coming to the F$%&in' tour or not?? |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Slip, When you have as many skeletons in the closet as I do you need to keep your whereabouts rather vague for obvious reasons. If you hear ukulele music emminating from the hotel lobby you'll know that I'm there ... If not, have fun without me. Dave |

| Paul - check with the mothership if they will have a classical there. Seems crazy to risk yours if you don't have to, but your classical and the Adamas 1680 are the two I most want to play. So if they won't have one there - bring yours!. |

On Thursday evening, before the actual tour, there's a huge meet and great / jam session in the lobby of the hotel. The hotel enjoys it, the music is good, and everybody has a chance to catch up on news and play everybody else's guitar. The next day, it's over to the factory. |

| I thought we just got to mug girl guides for their pizza at the hotel. I didn't realise there would be music.
I'm thinking about bringing my Country Artist. Do United have a history with anyone here? (My Country Artist BTW is a guitar, not a Mexican/American guitar player) |

Location: SoCal | There's actually a line of guitars called Norman, produced by the same people who build Godins and Seagulls (can't remember the corporate name). They're up in Canada.
Dave's, the NORMAN, refers to his custom ordered Martin Norman Blake model. It's a guitar I'm very anxious to play. |

Norman is one of the guitars that are built by the Quebec, Canada-based Godin Guitar Company. It's supposed to be the Canadian version of Martin guitars, but I'm not sure if there's any truth to that. They're also the company that make Seagull, Art & Lutherie, Simon & Patrick, La Patrie, and Godin.
I'll definitely be there at the tour, but it is unlikely that I'll be bringing any guitars along.
p.s.
If Dave's NORMAN is around, I'd be anxious to be able to play it too! :) ... even for just a minute or two ... |
