The Great American Guitar Show

November 12 & 13, 2005

 

I went to the show and had a good time. I did not see many bargains. There were no Premier, Lectrolab or Masco amps. I found no reverb tanks. I bumped into several harp players and made the aquaintance of Russ Lambert who was taste testing amps and sounded good!


At 11 AM there was already a long line

Buy the Book!

I cleaned up my tab for Sonny Boy's Help Me and made it into a short book. There's a Kindle version for 99 cents, and if you buy the paperback you get the Kindle free.
