My time at SPAH is spent behind my little booth table during the day - I don't have the benefit of getting to all the seminars. Thanks to those of you who came by the booth! But the fun just doesn't end at 5PM.
I got a chance to meet several MBH board members like Diggs I hadn't met yet, catch up with Adam after missing HCH2 due to factors beyond my control, and hang out, drink, talk and play with so many great people. Adam, Dave Barrett and I had an interesting talk about educational theory as it related to harmonica instruction.
Had a great little garden jam with Steve Baker, Peter Madcat Ruth and TJ Klay all to myself - you just don't get to do that very often.
Steve Baker (http://www.stevebaker.de/index.php/home?language=en&site=bio) has been playing for over 35 years and has worked for Hohner representing them for 25 of them. He is a new endorser, taking a custom wood mic AND an Ultimate 57 home with him. He got a chance to play both at the show and liked them, but he'll get back to me soon with a more full impression.
Another new customer is Jake Friel- up and coming 15 year old who can blow some serious blues, and has a killer voice. He's now a BlowsMeAway convert too. You might not have heard of Jake yet, but you will.
There are far too many magical moments to relate all of them (although I should mention I am now a Buddy Green fan and I never expected that!)
Made my last sale (a wireless system to be delivered this week) in the lobby at 3:47AM Monday morning. THAT has to be some sort of new record.
