Say, is anyone here going to Rockford, May 7th to the Midwest Handmade Music Exposition?

This is an event thrown by Jim Worland.

Just Goods in Rockford, Illinois Saturday May 7, 2011

I've got a new Bubinga/Engleman OM you can try on for size.

Here's a link to the Expo's webpage. http://www.wix.com/worlatron/handmade-music#!

Was good fun last year. Lot's of live music including an open mic time slot. Jim's done more advertising this year so the turn out will be even larger. The success of this exhibit in it's short three year history is driving some very positive changes for next year.

I will be there too. Looking forward to seeing you. Don't have anything glamorous or exotic--a mahogany resonator and a mahogany soprano uke (both new), plus two older builds to make it look like I am productive.

Indeed, and it will be nice to see some more of your inlay work. I'll be picking your brain on the Uke's. I've got some plans and some material set aside for a tenor.

I'm trying to be there - not sure if it will happen though. If it is raining it is more likely that I will be there!
