Sounds like fun Russ, wish I was headed west at that time. Looks like It might be a while before I can make that trip again.
BTW, some people over the weekend were asking me about having actually seen some of your collection. I told em it was all smoke and mirrors. LOL

Listen, if you see this send me an e-mail. I got a pic or two I would like to send you and Koa Lady.

Wish I was closer Russ! It would be great to bring my K20 and have someone play it that could do it justice. ;) :D Hope you all have a great time. :)

Hi Russ,
I don't have any plan that day, so I'm in.
And I'll talk to Craig (Rattletrap), we can car-pool if he wants to, I'm sure he wants to come if he doesn't have any other plan.
May be he'll jump in here before I talk to him tonight.:D

I've been looking forward to this since you had the last get together, which I messed. Unfortunatley I have a trip tp Palm Springs planned for that weekend.

I'll keep an eye out for the next one.

BTW, thanks for doing this koaguitarman.

Russ,
On a luthier's forum, I have become acquainted with a few So Cal luthier's. Do you mind if I invite some of them?
Maybe they can bring a sample or two of their current work.

I'm glad that Geoff and Tom are coming, I remembered my first AGF gathering at Dennis's place. These two guys rocked.
Tom, will you bring along your funky stand up bass?

And yes, Russ (Boba.), may I request in advance for your "American pie"?,

And yes, SteveS, may I request in advance for your "Carolina in my mind"?,

And certainly Russ (kao..) "Hesitation Blues"!

And for Dennis, are TJ and Karen coming along?
My buddy Al can't make it, he's sick to the stomach (literally), hope he's doing OK under Doctor's supervision.:)

I don't know about you, but I'm sure gonna have a good time!

OMG!, I certainly hope Kathy Wingert will drop by, I stll remembered last time I saw her at your house I didn't even know who she was but so mesmerrized by her voice and her guitar playing on " Song bird", and speechless after she introduced herself to me.:)

Ben, I always love to see your tricky fingers for your jazz stuffs, I and Al can sit and watch and listen for an hour on end or even more!:) :D
