Stay tuned and keep the fingers crossed... |

It became "Annual" when Al worked hard to put 'em together year after year, and when the folks at Kaman Music agreed. It was never something that "Corporate" did as a marketing or goodwill gesture. I agree with Beal, it may be good to take a year off ( :( ) and let everything settle down with the new ownership. |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | It's nice to see the confidence level, but it's not up to any of us. As with every other year. We can sit and speculate, or just wait until they tell us.
I'm sure they are more concerned to know if there will be a Factory in CT, or if anyone will be working there before we start hounding them about visiting.
I sure hope Alpep doesn't see this thread... |

Location: GA USA | Like I was saying to Jim and TR on the way back from FL, whether we have it or not, it's great to know that the way it's rolling right now, we'll always have something on the horizon in the southeast. We just have too much fun getting together to stop.
Not having the tour would be a bit of a bummer since, like Mark, this may be "my year" to make it. And I held off on Amelia since I had to choose one. But I appreciate all the hard work by some, that I'm reaping rewards from, in the form of some pretty cool buddies.
Either way, I've got OFC family, so I'm a winner. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Maybe we should start a new members' initiation kit.
1. Ask what kind of strings go with my Ovation.
2. Buy sets of string tubes of various sizes.
3. Ask Al about the next factory tour.
4. Ask how to post pictures.
Any others? |
