2006 Newport Guitar Festival Update
August 6th, 2006
Jason Verlinde and I just got through attending the 3 day 2006 Newport Guitar Festival. There were more the 70 luthiers exhibiting their work and we took more than 300 photos that we have to sort out. We’re still on the road and should be back on the West Coast on Wednesday, but if we can find a fast Internet connection between now and then, we’ll start posting photos and comments. For starters, though, I need to commend Julius Borges who arranged the whole shebang. He was a gracious host and everyone had a blast. Here are a few teaser shots to whet your appetites. Yes, in the middle photo that is Ervin Somogyi in his guitar-covered bathrobe on the right. And the gentleman in the top hat and tails is Chuck Erikson, who is better known as the Duke of Pearl.-MJS
