I just got back about an hour ago! I really enjoyed the show. I didn't meet John Detrick, but a big shout out for a great production! Also to the Best Western there in Harrisburg for a great venue, and their staff and John's staff for making this happen!
A special thanks to Bob (iim7V7IM7) for hanging out with me and showing me his amazing Sexauer guitar! AGFers, my name recollection can be very bad, but it was great meeting with some of you out there! Hopefully you'll drop by and jog my memory. I can recall names if I see a face, and I should have taken notes...
I wanted to also take time to thank the many luthiers that had taken their time to chat with me! You guys are the best!!!
But first, it was an honor to meet a living legend in jazz, the great Jimmy Bruno!!!

Tim McKnight gave me these shades to wear before I held this guitar... possibly to protect my eyes from the reflections on the amazing finish...

He calls himself Yen, and had two really nice guitars at the show:
