At our house you'll find a piano, a sitar, a pigsnout psaltery, a ten-string bowlback mandolin, 2|4 and 3|4 fiddles, and my 1997 Perry guitar. I'd bring the mando and the guitar to the jam. I'll have a hard time keeping drool off the toy Santa has brought for my son--a Korg "Pandora's Box" --which I would *highly reommend* to anyone looking for an effects processor. Merry Christmas to all you mudders C ya @ the jam Dennis
