Just called the lawyers... Should start lining your guitars, I have sent someone to pick them up!

[QUOTE=theguitarjunky] And they're is nothing sexier then a beautifull red (blonde, brown or else) head girl from montreal speaking english with a frensh accent, NOTHING![/QUOTE]
Agreed! The young lady that met us at the airport was a knock-out. Quite honestly, I can't remember what she looked like but she spoke in a French accent and I pretty much melted. Siiiiiiiigh.

Mai coupa

Ah yes, the young ladies from La Belle Province. I'm only an hour from the border, and since the drinking age was 19 here and 18 there, and since even that was only a suggestion, much of our youth found us chasing skirts "over there".

language isn't a issue, as French Canuck is my first language. But the Metro and 'guitar parking' is. I ain't handing anything over to anyone.

We'll see.....

No problem, you will sign your guitar in and sign it out too.  And I will be more then happy to assis you personnaly with any issue there.  Just ask for me if there is any problem at all.

And no problem with parkings, specially since the show is during the day.  Planty of parking right under the hotel.

Back to our original programming....

I'm bringing anything I can get done that I can take across the border! Last year I had to leave the 'Autumn' classical behind when I realized at the last minute that the BRW B&S might be a problem. This year I'm going to emphasize 'local' woods. I'm hoping to get an archtop classical done, maybe a baritone, and who knows what else? The small jumbos have been working well of late...

Last year I also brought a 'Tenor violin', one of the Hutchins Octet instruments, to make up for the lack of the classical guitar. It got quite a lot of attention, and I really brushed up my French explaining it to folks. Maybe I'll bring another 'ringer' this year.   

One thing I am bringing is my best customer: fingerstyle player Ken Bonfield. Is there any way we could set up a mini-concert?
