Ritchie,
I got to play the "Roadsign Masterpiece" at Pelletier's as well. It has to
be the ugliest in existence but sounded better than some production models
I've heard. There has to be a moral there somewhere. Also got to pick a
Michael Terris reso. Really nice look AND sound. I tried to buy it on the
spot but got turned down flat.
It was good to see you again.
George (also in New Hampshire temporarily)
