Russ & Twyla,
Thanks for the great pictures :D :D :D

Now, was I dancin or just tripin over all those koa guitars? It kinda of reminds me of Mark Madsens (of the Lakers) or Steve Martin's (The Jerk) dancin. :)

Those pictures really prove that we had a great time!
I hope that more of you are able to make the next one.

How I wish I could have come! Stupid car!

SteveS, I simply CANNOT BELIEVE that you MADE that guitar!!! If it plays and sounds even half as good as it looks....well, I am indescribably impressed, and just HAVE to see and play that one! Next time, I will call a taxi if I have to, just to hear it!

[SteveS]

How I wish I could have come! Stupid car!
Rebecca, I sure wish you made it. We missed you.

[flaggerphil]

Fabulous pics! Wish I could have made it out west!

[Chicago Sandy]

Looks like you all had a terrific time! And it's scary how alike we two Sandys (Anothersmith and I) look! (not to mention identical professions and a shared passion for pen collecting).

Walk if you have to! Steve's guitar is amazing. I was just stunned - first to see how great it looks, and then to hear how great it sounds.

Bravo, Steve!

Having a doppelganger's not such a bad thing, is it?

Sandy,
Do you mean one of these?

[anothersmith]

Hmmm. I'd forgotten that a doppleganger is generally an evil twin or spirit.

I guess I should have said that having a double isn't such a bad thing.

[DickensDad]

Wow! Thanks for the great post, Russ!!!

[koaguitarman]

Wow! Thanks for the great post, Russ!!!
Keith, you are welcome! Thanks to Twyla (Koa Lady) for all the great photos!
