I am excited! My lovely wife is driving me to the Temecula Valley Bluegrass Festival this afternoon. This will be my first B.G. festival. We are planning to see Desperado, featuring DataNick from the Mandolin Cafe. Break a leg, Nick!

Dan,
We go on at 4pm...be prepared for heavy traffic in the Temecula area as it's Friday.
Definitely come find me right after our set as I'll be milling around, and most importantly bring that JBovier F5 Tradition so I can check it out and we'll pick a few tunes together!

Wish I could have seen you, Don. We were only there for Friday. Good luck!
Thanks Nick! I really enjoyed the 4 bands we saw, and your band was incredible! You made that Gibson F5L sing-- fantastic playing! All your players were excellent. Your Bill Monroe Songs were treats. Your entire set was well selected.
I shot a video of one of the songs on which you sang and played. I hadn't heard you sing before. I really enjoyed that, as well as your mandolin expertise. Eat your heart out fellow M.C.'ers-- I strummed Nick's Gibson F5L. The bass blew my mind. What a great mandolin. Thanks for the time sitting and chatting with you, Jim and Dale. Dan
Dan,
Your check is in the mail...lol!
It was pleasure meeting you and your lovely wife in person...looking forward to picking with you in the near future!
