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.

Hey Jerry. I just wanted to know how long I should let my guitar get use to the weather in Fresno. It has been a week so far and I was thinking that I was going to practice my chords tomorrow.
Thanks for the great guitar lesson. I had such a fantastic time in Pismo this year and it was very interesting to be apart of the show for Titan Hot Seven set, but it was all Jeff's fault he gave us his normal cue of dancing so we went up to the dance floor and then the next thing we know the song was over. See you in Monterey!
I have mellowed out today.....but lately have been quite cynical about the Presidential election / bank crisis/mortgage meltdown .......whatever..... WH WH

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.
