14 Dec 11 - 01:40 PM (#3273739) Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Meet From: Rapparee Y'all could come a-visitin' out this way, too. Oh sure, you'll say Idaho is a couple thousand miles out of the way. I know, I know, but I'll take ya to Yellowstone and you can see water spurt way up into the sky. |

14 Dec 11 - 01:49 PM (#3273746) Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Meet From: wysiwyg Zipcode 16933, just off the highway. It's another 2 hours or so to State College where I believe Max is still based these days. Might be we'd take us a ride over thataway too, depending on timing. Hardi's car holds 4 comfortably, or 3 passengers can share the roomy back seat if they're friendly. (Room for axes in back and me in front). Mudcatter LilyFestre also lives in the area here and Mmario is a few hours north (have bedspace for him if desired). Dick and Susan have been known to visit periodically (have their usual bedspace avaifor them but no longer dog-free unless they want the new, improved attic room they used once). Cot-space at the church and a bedroom there LH may recall, too. ~Susan |

15 Dec 11 - 05:46 PM (#3274426) Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Meet From: Little Hawk I have to get the passport renewed. That probably takes us into late January or February sometime for the trip. We definitely want to get down to Nazareth, so visiting at Susan's place will be perfect. I don't think they're very far from Nazareth. Other than that, I'd like to make a visit to Elderly Instruments in Lansing, Michigan. I've been hearing about that place for years, and I'd sure like to see their lineup of guitars and other accessories. We have our doubts about bringing our guitars down across the border, given all the weird stuff that's going on with Rosewood guitars now. I certainly don't want some over-zealous customs agent deciding to sieze one of my favorite instruments because he can't tell the difference between Brazilian Rosewood and East Indian Rosewood. |

16 Dec 11 - 01:16 AM (#3274610) Subject: RE: Mudcat Meet From: Sandy Mc Lean I made the trip to Nazareth a couple of years ago and did the Martin tour. Very interesting but I was disappointed with the high degree of automation. There is a room where you can try out some guitars and a D-18 hanging on the wall really sang. There is also a museum of sorts behind glass of some vintage stuff that will make you drool. I'm glad that I went! |

16 Dec 11 - 09:55 AM (#3274773) Subject: RE: Mudcat Meet From: Cool Beans If you're going to Elderly, I'm on the way, near Detroit.

18 Dec 11 - 09:24 AM (#3275958) Subject: RE: Mudcat Meet From: wysiwyg Rap, LH, The distances discussed so far are such that you may have 3-4 MudGathers going here: <> an overnight-to-weekend sleep/pick/eat-athon here, <> a (Mudcat Central) State College meet-up (could be day-tripped from here), and <> a Nazareth Meet pulling folks from further east (bit long for a daytrip), <> an overnight-to-weekend sleep/pick/eat-athon here. BTW an hour north of us is a FABULOUS winter thingie-- the Corning Museum of Glass. A great indoor walk/photography/coffeebar thing for a cold, windy day. Spencer's restaurant nearby can easily host a meal, with guitars-- they have a room that would be perfect (with fireplace)... Some others who may wish to pile in: Hollowfox Mmario Dharmabum Deb Chesman Don Meixner Hogeye ... others will come to mind ..... and of course each of them has potential music-type folk who might jine in once they know where and when. ~Susan |
