    Have any of you seen a show called "Folkways", hosted by David Holt? It comes on PBS here in NC on occasion. David has done some shows featuring instruments/builders/players. One was on fiddle and was great. But he also did one on guitar where he played with some great players including Bryan Sutton. In that episode he visited Henderson's shop, and talked to him about his story, and he played a little too. it was pretty cool.

    Gary, if that is the Mandolin Wayne was showing at his Christmas party, it is a monster. Looks great too. I was very impressed and jealous.

    What is a WCH mandolin go for these days? I know Wayne is generally underpriced on his guitars.

    Greg,
    Congrats to you and Mr. Henderson. Your stable is darned impressive.
