"Dang, you got to play the guy's very-valuable guitar, but you're not sure you'll be able to speak with him?" Poppagator

But see, it wasn't a 'group'; it was a music party unlike the kind of songcircle that I throw. This was more like a cocktail party that had a few people there with instruments. Actually, there were a lot of instruments there but not many people unpacked them. Not my kind of party at all.

And no. I didn't have a conversation with him. I was taken aback when he offered me the guitar. At that point I didn't even know his name.

But tonight at the Folk Festival I did talk with him. (BTW, his set was superb- and the guitar on the microphone sounded wonderful.)

It's a Collings, D12S, 2H. So it is a Dreadnaught, and it has a 2-piece back.

He'll be here in town until Friday. Any questions for him?

Thanks, guys.
