"Hi Sacramento Area CBGer's....I think I picked a bad date for this meeting, because only 4 people responded that they will come. We have decided to cancel the Git-together for May 26th and we will schedule one for June or July."

Wiring finished.
"I am not any kind of an expert on wiring, I am only a copy cat, but on the tone pot, I always put the +feed (red wire on your pic) on the center connection and the cap where you have your red wire. I only do it that way, because that is…"

Will King replied to Brent's discussion What's your favorite fret scale calculator?"I have always used FretfinderD2. I had to keep an old Windows XP laptop to use it, because I can't get it to work on any Windows 7 computers. For my printer, I have to add about 1 1/2 inchs, in the program, for…"

Rand Moore said… Hi Will,
Yes, I'll be returning to the States this summer, perhaps even a month earlier for 3 months instead of two, if things turn out as planned. Maybe we can do either an early summer and a late summer get together, or make the late summer get together a week or so earlier so I can attend. You are right, the mailing list needs to be actively monitored to insure the data collected is complete and legible. I forgot to mention the two contacts I have on Friends of the Mountain Dulcimer (FOTMD) web site. They are:
Bradford Jennings / Roseville, CA / FOTMD
Dusty Turtle / Sacramento, CA / FOTMDI also have put a new/updated event posting on FOTMD, but it hasn't been "approved" yet. Hopefully it will be, soon. I wonder if there are other instrument websites with Sacramento area members who we can tap for invites. I'll give it some thought / searching.

P.S. If you haven't started a mailing list, you probably should so you can easily contact people to attend future events. You can start a mailing list next Sunday by having a signup sheet at the event (with someone at the door encouraging folks to sign up) and be sure to get both names and email addresses.

Hi Will,
I left the following comment for 16 other folks on the CBN & Friends of the Mountain Dulcimer web-sites from my incomplete list of Sacramento folks who might be interested in coming to the Second Ever Sacramento Area CBG Get-Together. If I find more leads, I'll leave comment messages for them as well. I hope the event goes off well.
Here's the message I've been leaving folks:
===============================================================
Hi (name),
The Second Ever Sacramento Area CBG Get-Together is going to be held next Sunday afternoon (Jan 13th, 2013) at The Strumshop in Roseville.

Any more word on the Second Ever Sacramento Area CBG Get-Together?
I had an inquiry on Everything Dulcimer, and I said one is in the works for January. Hope it still is on. You might want to post some more event notices as your date 12 just 2 weeks away. Hopefully you have a mailing list going of folks who attended the last one. If you need help drumming up interest, let me know. I can do what I did last time from here in China.

The One & Lonely... Tommy Young said… Hi Will,
Tommy here (of the Washtub bass) if there's room for a 10-15 minute lesson I'd like to teach some chords for CBG in D and G. I rarely play slide and there's a lot of cool tunes out there. Let me know if you need me to bring anything!
