S.F. Taylorfest Pics

[webcat]

Met some great people at Gryphon Stringed Instruments in Palo Alto. Met a few great guitars as well. Frank Ford was kind enough to take us on a virtual tour of the Taylor Factory via his awesome slideshow and narrative. Thanks Frank! Here's a link if anyone would care to have a peek: photos (http://edg.cc/taylor)

Now you're talkin! I can't help but think that a couple of those Mojitos would have loosened up the groove a little. We might even have ventured away from the key of "E". It's good to have goals.

Hey! Thanks for the report and pics (for us yahoos all the way in the other corner of the country!!)

Looks like it was a great time!

Thanks for the pics and update.

The rooms in NYC stores are SO TINY!

Looks like fun! Nice to put faces to the names!

WC,

Thanks for posting the pics!

Thanks, 'Cat. This whole "Blues in E" thing is overblown. I saw a C chord, a G and even an A minor in those pictures. This was a versatile group of musical artists.

Last to weigh in... ;)

These SF TGF guys are some amazing players, and singers, and writers, and of course, have a collection of exquisite guitars...

Proy turned out not to be the recently retired, soon to be Hall-of-Fame goalie, but a fine Aussie guitarist...

I think I kept up with everyone on, ummm... Frank Ford's Taylor tales and slide show! :D (but that's right about where I'd expected to be)

Thanks for sharing and inspiring,
Liz

Joe, the rents are a little higher in Manhattan than on the bad side of Palo Alto (ok....Palo Alto doesn't really have a bad side....other than the Stanford campus).

Gryphon's group lessons room (where we had our get-together) was very commodious (no, that word doesn't mean "toilet-like").

Looks like you guy`s had some fingerpickin and flatpickin fun...:)

"PRoy for the Hall of Fame."

I Like it!!:D

[PeaVine]

Thanks for the picks! It's always neat to put faces to the names:)

[freestyle]

Looks like you folks had a great time! I bet you got a surprize from that W14 hehehe :)

Thanks for posting the pics Webcat. I had a great time and also confirmed that TGF people are some of the nicest you'd ever want to meet.

Did anybody try out the wild koa guitar built by Sergei de Jonge?
I have 2 guitars being built (Avalon Legacy jumbo and Wayne Henderson 12 fret 000) with the same wood from the same tree.

Proy, thanks for the reminder to never let anyone take a picture of me with a pick in my mouth.:roll:
