We're leaving for NAMM first thing Friday morning-it's the only day off I take all year. We should be on the floor about noon. First thing I'm going to do is see if we can locate an extra ticket or two and then call Rory. Really looking forward to meeting a real "hardcore" musician. He was in Fargo and moved to where I'm sure he's at the top of the heap, talent-wise.

Don't expect much, but it will be a time to slow down a bit and enjoy a visit with one of my favorites around here. I have recommended him as an endorser for Burris Amps. He'll have a chance to visit with Bob Burris on the floor. At least, if we can locate the unused tickets he will.


I let you know what I see early next week.
