HEy Mick,

Were you at the Shady Grove Music Festival this past weekend? I just heard about it from a banjo player I jam with regularly -- he said that Gellert would prolly be there and he was hoping to get up there and sit in for a while. Also said Burda would be there (hence my question).

Front Porch Music had a real nice Martin style jumbo Burda -- Walnut back and sides and an eagle inlay headstock. It played well and seemed to be nicely constructed (didn't care for the inlay workmanship).
