I'd love to be there, but I won't even be in the same part of the country. If he plays his Ludewig "Emory Lester Model" let us know how it sounds! I think that is a very cool design.

I just picked up a copy of Lester's "Cruising the 8" and I am enjoying it very much! I hope to catch his band in the near future.

Thanks for the post, Andy, but Chris Thile is in town at the Paradise that night. I hope to catch Lester sometime.
