Sorry I missed this year but my money went for a new dobro that arrived 2 weeks
ago. I am still breaking it in and it is getting louder and better tone by the
day.

Yo, Resomaniacs!
As you might expect, we had way-y-yy to much fun at Wintergrass this
year.
Rayco and Beard were there with their respective guitars. Paul Beard
gave a fantastic workshop on the care and feeding of the resonator
guitar. He told us you have to disassemble them every year for
cleaning. He pointed out that some of us are so diligent about cleaning
our cover plates that we hasten the build up of crud in the cone by
rubbing that flannel cloth over the holes as we polish away the
fingerprints.
Paul said, "you all know what a cheese grater does, right?" as he moved
the cloth back and forth over the coverplate... he was given a Beard
guitar
to clean that was just about one year old. When he got the cone out of
the the gutiar, there was a huge dust bunny attached to one side of the
cone dangling in the breeze... sigh--hh.. and this guitar was only a
year
old.. oh, well...
The Beard booth was busy as many of us played the 2 versions of the
new Jerry Douglas model guitar...very nice. There were also 2 MA 6
Mike guitars.. a red one and a black one. I played all four of them and
they were pretty terrific.
Orville hung out Saturday at the Rayco booth and lots of folks dropped
by to play the Rayco guitars. It was one long ongoing jam all day.
The Resomania workshop was great fun. Orville Johnson didn't make it
this year
because he was playing with Laura Love and they had a gig in Seattle
where they were doing a sound check while Resomania was happening
in Tacoma. We did have Greg Booth with us, who played wonderful
versions of Panhandle Rag and Here, There and Everywhere..
not to mention Junior Brown's Peelin' Taters... a tune guaranteed
to make you laugh when you hear it. We had an appreciative
crowd and it was great fun. There were a fair number of reso players
there this year... seemed like there was at least one in every
jam.
