I am going to the Ricky Scaggs show In Grand Rapids MI on June 25. I was wondering if anyone knew him well enough to get me back stage to meet him. I am 25 years old and have been listening to Mr, Skaggs as long as I can remember. I just bought a new Gibson Fern and I would would like him to play a tune on it and sign my case.

After a lot of their shows they set up to sell and autograph CDs, and I have seen him sign guitar straps and things like that at those signing sessions.
I would inquire of the concert venue about whether that is going to happen there. #If so, you should have no problems getting a signature; whether he would have time to pick it would probably depend on the number of autograph seekers around, but be sure and ask, as he would probably do so after the crowd had gone, as he likes mandolins as much as the rest of us.

Yeah, I called a venue where the Del McCoury Band was playing, and the lady informed me that Del and the boys would be available to meet, greet, and sign stuff. #I got pictures of me with them and they signed some stuff. #I would have had Ronnie sign my mandolin strap, but it's only a piece of rawhide http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif and he couldn't put his signature on something that small with a Sharpie!

Hey C.J.,
This is Matt Zahn. I'm planning on being at the Skaggs show this Friday too. Keep an eye out for me and say hello.

So, how did things go? Any autographs and fingerprints on your new mandolin?
