    Me and Mr. Albert Lee at NAMM 2012

    I finally got to meet the legend, Albert Lee! What a thrill this was. He was so soft spoken and courteous.
    I was also thrilled to see some of my work on the 50th Anniversary wall of artwork, "Milk and Cookies" ad and the "Axe" ad. This is a huge wall of which I included a shot with people as a size reference. I'll try and get some more shots of the actual EB booth in tomorrow.

    I do have a few more pictures that I'll be posting. I will snap away at the booth today. I've tried to stay out of the way of EB because afterall, they are doing business. I'm excited for tonight…ahem, somebody got a golden ticket for the 50th bash.

    Reporting live from the event…today is bar none CRAZY BUSY. Tons of artists signing throughout the venue and Los lobos are rocking out at an accordion booth. EB booth is squeezing room only. Walked over to Mr. Morse and Started chit chatting about his guitars and he was EXTREMELY attentive and was telling me about his unique pickup setup and how he lowers the single coils and rolls off the volume for nice clean tone. It was surreal to say the least. I have some shots I'll upload later, for sure. Stay tuned fellas.

    Here's a few more photos to check out. I have more but I'm getting ready for the drive home. I'll be posting later.

    I also made an audio recording of me just walking around the venue to illustrate just how loud things are and how you hear nothing but soundbites of people playing some sort of instrument, all overlapping each other, constantly. I'll try and post that tonight.
