Your Ben Wilborn guitar makes great use of the single nicest looking set of EIR I have ever seen . . . And Ben says he has another sister set!
So glad to have finally met you, Tom!

Congrats Tom! What a difference a day makes. Two beauties! I have to say that 00 was special. Didn’t play the Wilborn but I’m sure it’s nice if you decided in 5 minutes.
As always, enjoyed my time with you.

Ah, you got the Ellie Belle. That was my favorite guitar in the show. I saw Ben play it and the Lion on Friday. They are such beautiful guitars and the sound that comes out is just thrilling. Ben seems like the nicest guy, he names his guitars after his children, and he's a darn good player. He opened his performance with John Prine's ''Unwed Fathers'' and he did a great job explaining about his guitars. He explained about the sound port, comparing it to pouring ''soup'' out of the can when you use a church key; if you put only one hole the sound comes out, glug, glug, Glug, put two holes and it will flow out.
Great guy, great guitars. Congratulation on both of you new ones. Enjoy them!

Wow Bruce, for you to say that with all of the wood you have passed through your talented hands means a lot to me. Did he tell you the funny story about how he ran across that wood...if not, it is a great tell for another time haha!

this weekend
Sorry Tom and Dennis, I was there both days and missed both of you. It seems like with only 2 rooms that couldn't happen - maybe I spent too much time looking at guitars and not at people. I came home as empty-handed as I'd expected, then found out that my wife had figured that I would get something new. Actually there were temptations, but none were exactly how I would have wanted them had I ordered them. But I know where they came from!
