Lloyd Loar(s!) at IBMA
Elderly had TWO Lloyd Loar mandolins at IBMA. Today rates as one of the best days of my life. I got to play both of them for about a half an hour. On top of this, I had my Gibson mandolin with me and David Harvey from Gibson was there at the Gibson booth. He looked over my mandolin, corrected the angle of the bridge and I even got to play with him and try every Gibson mandolin in the booth along with his very nice F-4 that was for sale. And, he told me that my mandolin is a 2004. On top of this I got to see Doyle and he even played my mandolin so I am assuming it is now magical. Besides Bill Monroe, Doyle is my idol so this was huge. Maybe this was the best day but I wouldn't want my husband to see that I didn't say our wedding
