Hey everyone, I thought i would share a few pics i took during the few down moments I had during the show.
this was a great show, It is going to be hard for me in my current state of fatigue to reflect fully on everything, but i would like to thank the following people for their compliments,kindness and support.
Julius Borges, John Ostoff,John Greven,Don MacRostie,Randy Lucas,Ken Parker,Dick Boak,Dan Brown,Alan Carruth,Steve Spodaryk,Mike Crixell,Kathy Wingert,Paul Norman,Craig Sullivan,....thanks so much guys
also, I need to thank Steve Roberson who has been supporting me all along, both with his great tonewood, and his moral support, Steve is an awesome builder himself and understands all to well what we all go through. Steve-o you`re the best!
a huge thanks to Stephen Couch, my player rep who, as always, came up huge for me. I cant tell you folks how fun it was to have such a player in my midst for over a week.
Also,super huge thanks to Zeek Hutchinson who plays for Red Diamond Mandolins, for all the jamming at our table and for playing in my mini concert with Steve.
you guys did a great job.
Thanks to Ted harlan, and Micheal Casto, for coming out to be with us to re-live the a.s.i.a. `05 jam at my place and helping out with my table at the show.
Ok here are my pics...
Here is my table... i actually did`nt finish the guitars i wanted to bring, so I borrowed a few back. left to right is Steve Couch signature reso, Ovankol/100yr. old red spruce 12 fret dred, Koa/ sitka OM, and f style mando #2.
Here`s one of the many jam sessions between Steve and Zeek...if only you could hear what they were playing!
Don`s table was right next to mine, so we had more than a few great conversations. Let me know when your ready to go surfing Don!
and last but certainly not least, this other Masshole I hang out with...
all for now.....nap time.
)! Matt, you are lucky to have Stephen Couch playing your guitars, he really makes your fine work sing like it deserves. I had the pleasure of jamming and chatting with him at ASIA, he's a great guy. I would have loved to hear him jam with Zeek Hutchinson on a Red Diamond, wow! McRostie makes a SWEET mandolin! Yes, I'm JEALOUS too, can you tell...
