I'm hoping you folks here will learn more about myself, as I hang out more....but this is interesting. I have this picking pal that dabbles in musical instrument buying and selling, uses e-bay a lot, and always finds these deals. For ex:..he just picked up a '41 D-18 for 3 figures. and came across '70 Englhart(sp) upright bass, that is actually NOS Kaye, that was left from their inventory when Kaye was boughtout by Englhart. But here's the ####......

Friday he put a tenor resonator guitar on e-bay, and it sold Friday during the night(but it now) by your friend and mine.....David Grisman. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif So when my friend, who's name is also David, contacted "the buyer" on Sat. it was confirmed that it was the man hisself. And he more or less found out about Mr. Grisman's fever for collecting odd musical items.

I have had the honor of being outbid by Mr. Grisman on a number of occasions. Sometimes for instruments and sometimes for sheet music or 78 recordings.
