The Fifth Course

I'm off to Anaheim in a week. My wife is calling it my annual weekend long window-shopping trip.

Goals for the show:
1) Get my paws on Jeff Cowherd's JBovier solid body emandos
2) See if Larrivee is trying again
3) Look for new entrants to the mandolin market
4) Cases: emando and mandola. Why are they so hard to find?
5) Amps: I wanna see little ones, and talk to makers about building them for emandos
6) Drum accessories for Kristen

If you want a report on a particular NAMM event or displayed product, let me as soon as possible. I'll do my best to fit it into my schedule.
