    Say, what ever happened to the touring picks that Mando Pete started several years ago? It seems the tour just died. I was on the list, I think, and they never did make it my way. Kenc

    The tour was completed and the bus made it back in more or less of one piece. As far as I know all of the folks who signed up recieved the picks. It took a lot longer than I thought to complete it's journey - a little over a year I think.

    I will add my vote to a Second Pick tour. #There are a number of us that did not get in on the first tour and of course there are all our new cafe patrons that might be interested. #and by all means add the Ultex and Mandohack's new favorite, the Jazzmando ProPlec.

    Pete, I'll start the pick bus this time. Send them to me and I'll get names and address to start the tour. Only this time, every 5th time they come back to me instead of the next recipent. Thanks, Kenc

    Put me on the list too. When I first found the Cafe, the tour was already in progress. Will the original lot of picks be toured as is, or will we add some to the group?
