    My question is really do people want to be able to do some instrument playing/comparisons or do we just want a social event. Let me know.....

    I think Bruce is close to the mark here. Perhaps since we're talking Bluegrass and Mandolins we should consider bourbon instead of of Scotch. It's every bit as yummy!

    Oooh-weee that's good stuff!

    Okay here is my thinking. I think we should do this Friday night, probably late (after the shows get done). I'm thinking we can probably use the media room and I'll check with the Wintergrass folks. That way we can enjoy some adult beverages at reasonable prices (BYOB), have a chance to visit and pick some mandos if that what everyone wants to do.

    Let me know if that's agreeable for everyone.

    I'll plan on bringing the National Silvo electric tenor, the Andersen mandocello, a Rigel or two, maybe a few other weird & wonderful things.

    I will bring either my KM1000 or my Bulldog 2 Pt. Let me know which one most of you want to sample and I'll bring that one. If no one replies, I'll use my own judgement.
    Thanks

    Hey, the music in the background on the video tour is song from my band (Stay Tuned) called Deception Pass!

    You can find more of that stuff here.
