NAMM Ananheim January 2011

[bovinehost]

Booked my hotel. Oldtoe and I are once again slated to be The Sniveling Dingleberries. Or Travelin' Crunchberries.

Odds are good, say some, that Craig will be passed out on the floor of our room even though he has a better room somewhere else. I can see this.

Who's going? I demand to know.

 

[strummer]

I'm going to check if I can swing by after vegas, should be fun

I know this is beyond most of your age groups, but does anybody know of the History of the "National Music Association" circa 1957 or 1956? My brothers and I attended the convention in one of those years that was held in Long Beach, Ca. I played guitar, my older brother played steel guitar, and middle brother, the accordian. One of the highlights of my musical career. I'll always remember going into the demonstration rooms and being able to pick up any instrument on display and playing to my hearts content. At that time, pretty much just Fender and Gibson. I know there were others around, but those are the ones that stick out in my mind. I've tried to find information about that time on-line, but to no avail.

on namms site the have a huge catalog of video interviews going back into the history of namm. certainly alot of those cats go way back. in fact i was shocked to stumble upon a cat named kyle barker who gave me my first job when i was about 14 at a music store in my hometown, modesto ca.

To avoid forming a new nexus of the universe, I'll assume that we're going to be on the other side of NAMMaheim from you.

Nice Jack, you and Ben shall have fun and lots of festivus!

Wish I was going but alas not in the cards since I have no contacts or passes, so I will just enjoy the show vicariously thru you and your posts and pics

So, what? We'll have to lock eyes across the vast expanse and silently raise our martinis? I think not, good sir.

 

[Colin]

I will be there with camera and mic, this could be an interesting NAMM

 

[paranoid70]

My brother just contacted me today about it! I will likely go at least one of the days.

 

[kylierider]

I would love to go but have no idea how to get a pass.

I've never been to NAMM, but would like to go one of these days. I've never met anyone on this forum before either. Might be a good chance for that as well. One of these days maybe it will be in the cards for me as well.

[Kirby]

should be there again this year if all goes well

 

[syciprider]

This is only 50 miles away from me and it will be just before I ship to Afghanistan. I'd love to go but have no idea how to go about it. Do we buy tickets at the gate? I really have no clue.

 

[Colin]

you have video editing software right???

I have this new editing program called "what happens on tour stays on tour software"

 

[Oldtoe]

I am so very looking forward to seeing everyone again!

He doesn't need it, but maybe you should bring some along just in case.

 

[Big Poppa]
