Thanks James and Hibdon's for a good time. I enjoyed the demos and networking but had to leave early. Did I win any of the drawings??? What a good bunch of people!

Hope you are up to it next year grandpa!!

This was a great opportunity to put faces with the name. I think I played every instrument at the gathering and am happy to report that there is a lot of talent here in the Midwest.

BTW.. Danny's name was drawn for prizes three times that I recall ... that african blackwood set would have been a nice win! Lol

I had a great time at the show too. It was soooo good to see some of the people I have chatted with here on the OLF. Really good to see and hear the talent there. Thanks go out to the Hibdon brothers for the great food and hospitality. Loved looking at all the great tonewood there too. I had with me, my son Cody and friend George Beckwith. We really enjoyed all the tutorials the guys put on. I learned a few things with each of them.

I have some pictures of the show but they are 2.5 megabytes and don't know how to get them where I can post them on here.
