Just out of interest, how many people usually show up to this thing?
I might drive up for the afternoon at some point as it is not that far to drive.

Re: Great 48 in Bakersfield
I would guess easily 200-300, probably more since its a three day event. 500? This is one of my favorite events all year.

Hey everybody, please see us in the San Diego suite. I'll have some band showcases and workshop along with refreshments and of course great jamming. Jim Blakemore
Re: Great 48 in Bakersfield
I don't think I will be joining in playing, but it would be a nice opportunity to check out a bunch of different mandolins.
I would love to bring my mandolin and see what more experienced players think of it.
Maybe I will come up for an afternoon just for fun to see what goes on at one of these things.

Cool, I did not know that Sorensen Mandolins were in Santa Clarita.
I work in Santa Clarita, just off the 14 fwy.
Nice to know that awesome mandolins are being born just a short drive away.
Re: Great 48 in Bakersfield
Doesn't look like I'll make it this year. Everybody have a grand time and looking forward to a report.
Re: Great 48 in Bakersfield
Me neither. Family obligations.
