Hey, Mark--Congratulations and best wishes. i heard you had come to California. We haven't communicated since my son sent my wife and me to Honolulu a few years ago and you couldn't get away from Hilo and we couldn't get off Oahu. I just made a rare appearance here to post about my 75th birthday and saw this thread.

I'm about an hour and a half north of you--El Cerrito, just north of Berkeley. I was in Santa Clara a few years ago for a banjo workshop with Dan Levinson (I don't get around an awful lot).
