Please take a listen to my archtop tracks. I play and endorse the Ellsberry "Arch de Lutan" handcrafted acoustic archtop guitar. Vintage Epiphones are also a passion of mine.
Yes James and I will both see you there. We will be busy selling for Jeff and Anne, Blue Renditions, and Jas'm, but we will find time to come watch all the other sets as we always do.
Thanks for the add-- I've admired your work for years. (Stevie played my wedding too... now if only he'd spell his name right... :) Keep up the great music...
Hey Jerry, good to see you're up and running. I've been busy Sundays maybe this weekend. Maybe you'll be in Decatur though, wish I could go too. Anyway see you soon and thanks for the add. Paul
Jerry, thanks for the compliment. I really enjoyed listening to your tunes. It is a unique variety - I love Kayak w/ the accordian! Your guitar sound great too.
Maybe someday I could come and visit Nashville - I have never been so - it would be cool!
