arthurseery - 2015-06-22 2:12 PM No pics of Me? I forgot to bring my camera. So sorry.

Or maybe the other way 'round? OMA, the modern old soul of the OFC

OK... I lied... it did end up being a sausage fest...

Man, what a great time, thanks to everyone who came out, especially those that drove long distances, it wouldn't have been the same without you. Sara (no 'h') and I had a fabulous time. There were so many great things, I don't know where to start.

I suppose I'll start with the very first cool thing. My oldest son Nick came up from California to join in the festivities and hang for Father's day weekend, THEN.... The Marks stopped by Friday late afternoon and dropped off their guitars. This meant I had an entire evening with 2... YES TWO Adamas slotheads at my disposal. I went through 3 bottles of wine and was up till 3am playing them both, but I gotta say, Elgin Acres' OSH probably had the lion's share of my time. Gentlemen, if your girls seem somewhat violated, I'm not sorry. Thanks again, that was a very special way for me to start the weekend.

Saturday had too many things for me to remember. Phil, you may think the beer was flowing minimally, but My wine glass was never empty (when I could find it). The chance to play all the guitars was great, but seeing all of you again, and meeting you new folks is what I dug on most. Chris busted out that electric fiddle and LET ME TELL YOU, he could steal that golden fiddle right away from Johnny's feet. Miles was rockin' hard, Phil was singing his wonderfully catchy tunes, and and and and...

I was having so much fun, I never got around to doing anything I had planned on doing. I bought a new Nikon so we could do some red blanket shots, and I hardly ever had the camera (Thanks to Nick and Sara for clicking it some in my absence). I also wanted to do some string changes for anyone who wanted to learn, as well as discussing live sound, mixing, and whatever.

None of that ever happened. I was having way too much fun.

I held the camera for the first 10 minutes of the day, after that my son Nick and the ever so lovely Sara were the responsible parties.

Again, thanks all for the great times, here's some pics...

Elginacres, MWoody, OMA

Everyone shoulda got one of these, but I think i may have forgotten a couple. Chris I think you may be one, now you GOTTA come back.

Wish I could have been there.

Maybe someday we'll have one of these near the Hudson Valley. I'm in no position to play host, but would love to meet some folks.

Good on all y'all for getting together and making it work!

Or someone that WISHES he was the actual owner. It was a beautiful guitar, one of the better looking one's they've put out. I didn't play it, too many slotheads in the vicinity.
