When I first got there, there were only 3 customers, and I was kinda bummed... but at one point, every table was full .... got happy for Karla!

She and Yvonne and Kristin gave me a hug

We had only 8 performers... one was a lady fiddle player who accompanied a singer/writer/player ... she did a jam up good job! Love me some fiddle!

Emily Jacobs returned, playing her Gibson SJ200... love that guitar. She did a song she wrote for her daughter that was killer! I can't find a picture of it, on line, but it has the moustache bridge and heavy pick guard... and sounds fantastic!

A young man showed up, from near by, Tomball, with a Martin D28 his wife let him buy for Valentines day, while they were in Arkansas killing time while visiting his daughter at the college at Fayetteville... another great sounding guitar! I told him, after his set, it sounded like a mahogany D18

, when plugged in and he agreed

Randy brought his J45 and did his killer rendition of Seminole Wind... Mack Murphy showed up doing his usual great finger picking blues stuff and a guy none of us cares for much showed up and accompanied (?) Mack and another man on his Telecaster. The other man, was there, from Lubbock, Tx., which is 400 miles away.

One of our semi-regular customers came by with a couple friends of his from New York...

. He introduced them to me... seemed to be nice people.

And I got home just after 9 PM... Davey was happy for that.

Garland,

Yep, again another great night, did you do a turn, or to busy cuddling the ladies.

The j200 that you mentioned is a Jumbo size guitar, but they say it's more comfortable to play than a Dreadnought, because it has a narrow waist.
I had a copy J200 by Sigma, very nice guitar but still to uncomfortable for me in the arm chair, Epiphone do one as well, not to expensive.
Yes, I like a bit of fiddle music, bought a violin a few years ago, the wife was not impressed, but must admit when you can't play one, they sound awful.

Garland,

Hope you have a great night.
You will be making people in the Cabin jealous, I might be one of them.

Derick, no need to be jealous, me Fine, British friend- except for the hugs I get

Thanks for reminding/pointing out, the other brands of Jumbo's... I have studied, a wee-bit, on a Guild Mini-Jumbo, but forgot all about Epiphone - yikes! I wish there were Sigma dealers around here... they might get some of me money!

Garland,

Just posted another post, about me trying some absolutely fantastic Eastman Guitars at a shop that I had to travel to.
While I was their tried quite a few guitars just for the fun of it, one of the guitars was the Guild Mini Jumbo, picked it up because it was such a great looking guitar, it played nice not a bad tone, but it was actually smaller than I expected it to be, £550 if I remember correctly.
