If you've got mandolin stands for your instruments . . . be sure to bring 'em!

Me too Charles. I'm having a whale of a time.
Re: Mando Tasting West - Sat Nov 2 2013 @ Steve Sorensen's in SoC
I had a great time myself, and the long and hard drive up from San Diego was totally worth it. A special thanks to Steve Sorensen, his wife Gladys and their son Chris for being such wonderful and gracious hosts , and for putting up with this bunch of mando maniacs late into the night. Steve was very generous is letting all of us try out his beautiful creations (I really, really like the new SXS redwood topped model), and in sharing his thoughts about wood, and his work process, and all things mandolin in general.
All in all, I think everyone had a great time. And oh - there was a lot of picking too
It was also a pleasure meeting Peter, and trying out his mandolin that he built from scratch. It is a very good sounding and responsive mandolin, and I was shocked to hear that it was his first complete build. I am excited to see what else he would come up with next when he gets home from his travels in the US.

Pete, did you get your hands on a Blue Chip pick?
Love this story and thanks to all for looking after the Aussie, cheers.

Re: Mando Tasting West - Sat Nov 2 2013 @ Steve Sorensen's in SoC
Had a go of one John but I really didn't pay a lot of attention to how it sounded. There was a lot going on.
Re: Mando Tasting West - Sat Nov 2 2013 @ Steve Sorensen's in SoC
Thanks Pete. I look forward to your next stop and more photos. The oil wells took me back to watching Jed and Elle May!
Cheers

I am sorry to hear that I missed this. Would have loved to visit with my Mike Black.

Re: Mando Tasting West - Sat Nov 2 2013 @ Steve Sorensen's in SoC
Me too. I would have loved to hear the Mike Black, esp. as I used to own one and missed it. I'm sure there will be other future get-togethers as well.Originally Posted by Gregory Tidwell

A couple views of the guests of honor starting to arrive, and some of players in action --
What a fun night!
Still haven't had a chance to dig through the video . . .

Re: Mando Tasting West - Sat Nov 2 2013 @ Steve Sorensen's in SoC
Looks like a GREAT time! DataNick, what's that you're playing in the pic? Pete, looks like your U.S. tour got off to an outstanding start, thanks to some fantastic Cafe folks. Steven, looks like a beautiful home ya got there, sure everybody appreciates you playing host. Looks to me like an old G.F.'s idea of a good date, "Everybody practiced fairly good hygiene, and no lawsuits were filed."

I wish I could've attended but my father passed Saturday morning.
Re: Mando Tasting West - Sat Nov 2 2013 @ Steve Sorensen's in SoC
Mike - Nick was playing a Sorensen Sprite 2 point in the photo. A great sounding mando!
shorty I'm really sorry to hear that, and my condolences to you and your family. You were definitely missed at the gathering.
Re: Mando Tasting West - Sat Nov 2 2013 @ Steve Sorensen's in SoC
So sorry to hear that, Shorty. Thoughts and prayers out to you and your family.
