It will end up being anonymous, and I think that, properly analyzed, it could be a really valuable insight into art fairs -- their future and potential. I filled it out and it didn't take too long and didn't ask anything I was too uncomfortable answering. |

25 Jun 07 - 01:52 PM (#2086641) Subject: RE: Don & Bruce From: John Hardly Thanks. What're partners for? (btw -- found a pretty darn good-sounding Kentucky A style for under $400 to take on the road. I'm hoping to buy one by the end of August after Madison, Ann Arbor, and Uptown. It actually, unlike the other Kentuckys I've tried in the past, sounded like a mandolin). Hey, if you get up to Amish Acres again this summer, you oughta stop in on my friend Jim Shenk in Goshen. I'm hoping to sell my HD28 and have him build me a guitar next year. |

Doesn't seem likely since he's in business making guitars, but the economic situation for the Amish has changed a lot from when I was a kid so he may be. FWIW, I'd guess that he gives good value. |
