I didn;t want to presume your date was your wife, 'cause ya never know .... BUT thanks for the clarification!

Well I joked about my lovely blue banjo that was loaned to me by Charlie's Guitar Shop - as we sat there in the lobby on Friday afternoon ... I went to return it today, and he told me I could keep it, since I had a use for it, since I enjoyed the instrument and since I wore his advertisment all weekend - he wanted me to have it!

What a deal.

I'll post some pics of the weekend, if they appear in the near future.
