Thread Name: Acoustic Avalon - anyone going?
Subject: RE: Acoustic Avalon - anyone going?
Yes I was there for about ten minutes last year. Sheehans had promised me a good deal on a Taylor and then reneged on it - bloody annoying as I had sold my best yamaha to pay for it. I stamped out.

I got a great deal on a Yamaha the year before - a cpx15cm - that's the cedar top, very sweet! that was the year Ralph McTell played there - his last gig playing Yamahas - he'd already moved onto these Gibsons he's besotted with at the moment.

And the year before that i discovered Eric Roche there. the best guitarist I ever saw, or ever expect to see.

I've bought loads of Faith guitars this year - that's what I play all the time now. And I'm quite looking forward to meeting their team. I was going to go early but I get tired - I've got a bit of a heart condtion. I was thinking of going about three pm.

look forward to seeing you -Ray!
