Ahhhh, it's Springtime on Long Island. We've has a couple 70+ degree days in a row..............
and now I'm really missing those Long Island Guitar Show days at '5 Towns College'........
Great builders and great players. I saw some impromptu jams that knocked my shoes off my feet; got to meet many great builders, and touch their wares.
Is there anything else like that anywhere else, ever, where archtop makers and players gather?
I miss those days.

I remember talking to Jimmy Bruno. It’s intimidated the heck out of me. The Pisanos, everyone. I remember George Benson walking through and drawing attention like some kind of god. Magical,as you say. I thought it would happen like that every year going forward. It was only a short period. I remember the entire Blue collection there one year. Damn……. Good memories.

I recall meeting Kenny Poole as we were checking in to the hotel . I shook his hand + thanked him for his music...then turned his hand + asked if I could see how long he kept his fingernails on his right hand. He laughed and gave me his philosophy on that. Also told me he could tune a 6 string to get George van eps sound without needing a 7 string.
