    Looks like there's an '06 listed also, by the same seller.

    Wow, great version of Sentimental Journey. The mandolin sounds ... hmmm, what's the word? There is a hint of ukulele in there and the bigger sound of a guitar.

    Let me guess....it went to one of the guys who already own at least one Holst. He seems to have a loyal following and it looked like a good deal. I almost bid as an investment but I never heard one or played one. It looks like a large neck. I'd really like to hear about it afterward if the buyer is a cafe member. There's another going up in three days!
