Great, great, GREAT show !!!!!!

Saw tons of old friends.  Met lots of new friends.  Talked turkey at the show and at the fireplace........one night til 2:30 AM

Got some sweet calls.

Ralph Permar Improved Jordan
Mike Lapp hybrid Jordan
Kevin Kirkpatrick Chinaberry/cedar/dogwood scratcher
Lon Trice bubinga slate/glass

Got to play some INCREDIBLE historic calls, including THE....... HOLY GRAIL !!!!!!   The original C.L. Jordan yelper !!!!!

Also came home with a good dose of Covid.  Apparently the 'Rona was in da house.  I know of at least two other attendees that have tested positive.   :help:

Hope you get well soon.

The virus is why I didn't run any trumpets.  There were 2 that I really wanted to try.  One by Anthony Ellis and one from Lee Chadwick. 

So far, I am clear of the virus.

Thanks for the well wishes.  It's about like an old fashioned head cold.  I'm pretty well on the mend, I think.

I ran some trumpets.  But not before hitting them with an alcohol prep.  Then wiped it again before putting it back.  For me.......... so many people in such a loud room.....if I talk to someone, I have to get very close to hear them.  I talked to dozens and dozens of folks at point-blank range.  Not surprising that some of us up and caught it.

Hope you continue to be 'Rona-free.

 I've been slammed before not having pics but Yoder started it... 1) KP in ABW 2) Mike Lapp also caught my ear with a 1917 style, also ABW. 3) Seth Hamon in a grey Delrin. 4) Thomas Osmer in a mud cured (he makes more than tubes!) and an acrylic tube call. 5) A mud cured from an un-named maker. 6) A wingbone with a bamboo bell from Richard Hudson. 7) A 3 pc wingbone from Tony Ezolt.
Get better Don. I carry more alcohol swabs than a diabetic when trying trumpets. It missed me this time. I'll remember packmule doesn't know me when he wants to try one of mine in the future...  :TooFunny:
