For those of you in the El Dorado Hills, Ca area (I know there are a couple here), there will be a house concert by guitarist/singer extraordinaire, Howard Emerson at 7 pm, wednesday May 10th. If you are interested in attending, please email me at johow (at) johnhowguitars (dot) com for details. He may even perform a couple tunes on a John How Guitar or two including that little Stella repro I just finished. I hope to see you there. |

I'm gonna try to get some video as well. As soon as I get a chance I'll get some pictures for ya Bob. That oak turned out to be a fine wood for this guitar and as it turns out there were quite a few Oak stella's made back in the early part of the last century. |

A little tidbit you may not have known, Howard played guitar in the Billy Joel band on the album "Turnstiles" way back in the early 70's. |

I knew that John! Howard and I worked together at Sam Ash in the mid 90's. He ruled the acoustic room.Great to see him doing so well, he is a great guy. Evan |

Hi John, I'm sitting at the computer of my friend, Bart Ghormley, here in Sonoma, CA and having a cup of coffee as I wake up..... Bart and I will arrive in El Dorado Hills around 3pm today and I'm really looking forward to this gig. The 'last minute' gig that I was asked to do in Marin fell through, and I should have been more vigilant when I was asked to do it less than 2 weeks prior to leaving. Next time I'll put tighter constraints on any offers no matter how confident the potential host sounds about being able to muster a decent size crowd. He had 3 confirmations the day before the gig...... I can't wait to play the oak guitar, John! See you later.... Best, Howard |

Just curious...how do these house concerts work? Howard...If you ever tour the midwest (Indiana) I'd love to know more about sponsoring such an event. |

Hi JJ, Good to hear from you! Basically a house concert is just what it sounds like, but there are some important basic factors to consider. 1.You have a desire to see a favorite artist perform in your living room, up close. A backyard is fine if the weather is predictable. 2.You have enough friends and acquaintences to invite who are of a like mind in their musical tastes. 3.You don't mind 'strangers' contacting you who have similar tastes and who want to attend. ...and on and on......Here's a great site that will explain the ins and outs of hosting a house concert: http://www.houseconcerts.org/houseconcerts-02.html Hope that starts to give you an idea. It's not a hard thing to do, and there a thousands of them being done all across the country. It helps artists to fill in blank spaces in a tour, and helps to give fans a chance to see a favorite artist up close and to be able to meet them in a relaxed situation. Take care, Howard |
