Charisse playing my 712ce. Much prettier than a pic of me playing it would have been.... :D

Steve with that beautiful KLSM (if I were going to own a jumbo, this would be the one).

Chris (Bluepoet) playing his 414ce. His wife, Ellyn, is looking on. He did an awesome version of Tim Buckley's "Phantasmagoria."

Me playing Charisse's high-strung Gibson. I had nearly as much fun with this guitar as I did with the 12-string!

Well, that's all for these first two Arizona gatherings. We really hope some of you will be able to join us for Arizona Gathering III, which promises to be even more fun!

Well,

At least my eyes were open, and my mouth was closed!! :D

I must have been trying to figure out something that Steve was playing--(didn't even notice someone was taking pics)...something that involved single notes between chords, I believe...a weak part of my learning, to be sure...

[LOTF]

I actually think it's a pretty good picture of you. I have another one but you were playing my Martin and your lovely wife wasn't in it.

The nice thing about "weak parts of your learning" is that they give you a clear roadmap for your practice efforts. I try constantly to work on my fingerpicking and may get it good enough someday so that I might actually try it out on live people. :lol:
