Stealing another photo off Facebook, this one from Ben Wilborn. Looks like a pretty good crowd today.

I drove up to La Conner today for the guitar festival. Great show with good attendance and many great luthiers. Too many great guitars to choose from, so I didn't get to play all of them, but I've tried a couple of them that I was most interested in. It goes until tomorrow, Sunday!

Duane from DL Guitars from Richland, WA.


Stephen from Kinnaird Guitars from DogNachos, TX. ;-)


Guitares Julien Sublet from Quebec, Canada






Adam Dobres checking out a Wilborn guitar. Sounded great being flat picked by a master.


Leo Buendia's OM guitar.


Tim Farrell playing on a Buendia MD - Amazing amount of bass.


Maple Center, where the festival is being held this weekend.


Swinomish Channel (which connects to the Skagit Bay, Puget Sound, and the Pacific Ocean) just outside of the hall.

Tony McManus and Julia Toaspern for Buendia guitars, Steve Davidson for Tippin guitars and the magical chemistry of Mark Goldenberg and Tim Lerch duet with Maegen Wells and Otto D'Ambrosio archtop guitars, respectively. A great afternoon of Caberet music demos at Sips Wine Bar.20190511_153217.jpg20190511_164353.jpg20190511_173615.jpg20190511_180039.jpg

I'm guessing that the fantastic-looking big one is Mike's new model. Did you get there Juston?

No, I wish. It would have been fun. I'm not sure if that's a new model or not. I just asked Mike to snap some photos of what he had.

I would LOVE to see the results of that session.
