Had an amazing time at the Handmade Guitar Showcase today!
Got to play an outstanding cross-over mandolin by Mario Beauregard (my friend Dave Barrett also got a chance to play the mando) and two brilliant guitars by Sheldon Schwartz. The instruments were fantastic, but equally as good was getting to spend some time the builders. Really smart, nice guys!
Probably the nicest thing though was getting to meet up with Peter Janson again and to meet Steve Davidson for the first time. Peter and Steve are on tour in the US right now and they had a day off, so they drove up from Rochester to the guitar show here in Toronto. Lots of fun listening to them play and to do some jamming with them! They’re playing in Pittsburg tomorrow night, so if you like first rate acoustic guitar music, please go and check them out!
