Funny thing happened last night. I was at practice with some people I am going to play a few gigs with the next couple of months. While taking a short break the guys house we were at put in a dvd of the Merle Fest. This guy says he has been at everyone of them and has volunteered and been one of the "instrument lock up crew" that locks up the pro's instruments in one climate controlled building, I guess this is right as I've never been to it, and I know there are some on here who have, do they such a thing as the "instrument lock up room" ? But anyway back to what I saying, the guy puts the dvd on, fast forwards to John Cowen singing "Good Woman's Love" as he is a big fan of him, whenever Sam Bush takes a break on his mando, which is "Hoss", this guy turns and points and says," his { Sam's} mandolin is dated the same date of Bill Monroes ". I immediately asked him who says, the guy replies "Sam told me, I know him, I was right off the side of the stage " I then told him no, that Sam's Hoss is not the same date as Monroe's famous F-5, and the guy got mad at me, can you believe it ? Because I called his hand. I think he is one of those types of individuals who likes to tell #### like that to make themselves sound important "in the know" so to speak. Too tough for him uh ?, thanks to the Mandolin Archives I printed proof out on my printer to show him next time we get together. I just love to call peoples hand that are like that. Making up, telling stuff like that, to me just shows immaturity. What do ya'll think ? Ever run into anything like this ? Anyway thanks to Mandolin Archives and the knowledgeable folks on here that I have learned so much from. Thanks guys.
