Anyone in the Pasadena vicinity willing to help me out with a possible mandolin-related transaction?

[Eddie Sheehy]

I'm in Irvine, about an hour away depending on the time of day or traffic. I'll be very near there on Sunday.

The F4, the L&H, or the HO? http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

The first two. Not so much interested in the HO. Will you be there, Darrell?

[Eddie Sheehy]

Ah. Now I understand. I saw that estate sale. I'm not going to be up there on Saturday, pity.

Unfortunately I have a meeting I want to attend in El Segundo at 10, which is at the other end of the city. Don't think I can do what I want to do and then get there in time (+ there's a Dodger game that day, which means traffic will be ridiculous).

If you find someone who's going (or if you're in contact with the sellers) let me know; the reason I was interested in the first place was I wanted to know more about history of their family's mandolin club.

Well, my homeboy Larry might go. We'll see.

[Eddie Sheehy]

Any word on what they fetched?

i live in glendale. #what's this all about?

[mrmando]

Oof. Glendale, gateway to the San Gabriel Valley. Well, there were a 1913 Gibson F4 and a Lyon & Healy Style B, not to mention a Howe-Orme, at an estate sale in Pasadena today. They're gone now, I am sure, and since neither Larry nor Darrell nor his other brother Darrell made it to the sale, I have no idea what they went for.

Sorry I couldn't help out, Martin. I wish I could have; it sounded like fun.
