January 18, 2008 | Winter NAMM 2008

We're doing our best with our remote pictorial assignment of the Winter NAMM show on the Mandolin Cafe Message Board. Spotty internet reception in the hotel room doesn't help the job; remembering the 60's holding, Television rabbit ears at odd angles to get better reception. (Imagine standing on the bed with a laptop, pointing the wireless card in all sorts of contortions...)

We have the first day's pictures in; maybe more if/when we have the time. Great to see some of the usual suspects, Peter & Cynthia Mix, Gordon Roberts, Bruce Graybill, Radim Zenkl, Scott Gates (& folks) as well as some new friends.

View report.
