Greetings -

I noticed that NAMM is here in Southern California (Anaheim) next week and because one of my accordion jazz heroes will be demonstrating the new Roland V-Accordions I thought it would be fun to go. I really want to check out that accordion, too.

I found out through their website that NAMM is really only for music professionals (that is, those who make a living through selling musical equipment) and not for everyday guys like me (performers).

I thought about buying a non-member badge and it was $175!! I couldn't believe it. Membership is $195 per year and includes four free passes to NAMM.

Does anybody know of a legal, cheaper way to get into NAMM?

Thanks.

Tommy
