Tom is right... stand still for ten minutes and you'll have a dozen harp
players trip over your bag.

Flying to these events is great nowadays... not only do your feet get an
airing but you get to give a mini concert to the security people.
However... watch how you play, there are National Guard people around with
rather wicked looking guns. If they decide to show criticism in a
practical way you could be in trouble. One soldier offered to pass his
beret around when I was at Dallas, Love airport.

Unfortunately the Renny will not be at NAMM this year (Well, not with
Bobbie or me, Polesky might go, we are too busy building the durn things!)

Have fun ... and keep taking the Aspin
