Could'a sworn I posted this earlier today, but a black hole seems to have swallowed it up.

I got into DC last night and am staying at Severn's house but didn't get much sleep (some very friendly, enthusiastic other house guests with apparently less need for zzz's than I have). Severn and I will be at Fortunato's singaround tonight.   I have no guitar with me, so DK if I'll be able to do much more than listen, or sing along on chorus songs, but it'll be great to meet some folks in person whom I've only "known" online, as well as some new ones.

I am still hoping maybe some of the local Mudcatters might bring an extra thin-necked guitar to the Getaway, that they might be willing to lend for a workshop or two.   I'm not any good with classical or other wide-necked guitars or heavy gauge strings.   At home I play a Martin 00018 and a couple others (e.g., an Alvarez and a Sigma) of similar size and shape), with extra lights.    I've heard that sometimes at the Getaway there are people who bring extra guitars for out-of-towners to use.   Big Mick has told me he's bringing the Baby Taylor, and I think I can play that one OK, but I don't know how its neck and action compare to the 00018.   

I want to extend special thanks to whoever ordered today's DC-area weather.   It's a beaut!
