CA AGF Get Together Pics (looooong)...

[Psalm150]

DISCLAIMER: I apologize upfront for not including a picture of the T-5. I was uncomfortable taking a picture of it to leak prior to Taylor's unveiling at NAMM. :( I know... sorry. I do want to thank Brian and Bob for giving us a first shot at checking it out. t is truly a stunning instrument.

Anyway, here is a brief photo tour of our wonderful party hosted by Russ (koaguitarman) and his lovely wife. The first thing you need to know is that Russ' house matched him perfectly :lol: What a wonderful and relaxing place to hang out... and the buffalo head really added the final touch.

These pics just get better and better. Just showed them to Pat(my darling bride) and she said, "We'll have to host one down the road". Too soon to start planning, but, it will be a overnighter since we are so far out in the Boonies. We've got plenty of camping space for tents and campers here on the ranch. (no critters any more, I just call it the 'Ranch'. 'Course, there's motels and campgrounds fairly close(SteveS, James West and Steve314 remember our first get together at Hurkey Creek campground?) Jim hasn't posted in so long I forgot his handle! Anyway, don't wait for me, we can have one much sooner.

[koaguitarman]
