Bill Kunz of 61 has been generous in offering us a place to meet, practice, discussed ideas and what ever members decide to do with the time. Gary Herget and myself are contacts for this club and are open to ideas to make this a fun club. As soon as we have commitment from members, we can set up a Saturday each month to meet mornings. We haven't set a day or start time as of yet. We need to know who can commit at least to a start up and discuss as a group when and how we want to run this. Possibilities are great!

I'm coming by myself next month and stay longer. The 3rd Sat of the month works great for me. Since I use the Roland Micro Cube amp, no problem carrying it around. See ya next month.
Great meeting everyone, I had a blast! I'll be practicing for the next meeting :)
It was great to meet everyone and make new friends. I too will have to practice up and try to keep up. See ya in March.
Hi all! As I mentioned at the meeting, there is a supplier of fine hardwoods in Marrisa, IL.
http://dougwhitehardwoods.com/hardwoods/
They will find the right pieces you need for your project, rough cut it and plane it. I purchased cherry fretboards, curvy maple necks and walnut heels from them. It's expensive but if you're looking for just the right wood that's rough cut to your dimensions then this is the place to go. (call first) You will need to go to their mill, not the store front in town. The drive out there is nice and you can stop by Wenneman's Meat Market in St Libory (left at stop sign) and get the freshest meat on the planet.
Thanks for the wood link. Prices look good.
I can't place his name behind the guitar, however here is a list of all who attended.
Steven Miles (myself)
Gary Herget
Steve Gramlick------------------------------I'm betting Steve brought the dulcimer.
Yourself & daughter Clara
Johnny Willis (St. Louis Blues Society)
Paul Ekluind (cause the rat/blue solid body guitar)
Rich Branch
Buddy Carroll / Ms. Carroll
Clark Stolz (Mr.C)
Great first meeting! I'm not on the list, but I was there as well--Mark Perkins. Awesome builds and craftsmanship on display. Scott, it was great to meet you and your daughter Clara. We need to get more the younger generation involved. One meeting dedicated to a simple build and the next for some lessons aimed at the youth might be a way to do something like that. Just a thought.
I remember you. Missed getting your name on the registry. I did that so I'd, #1 have an idea how many attended and #2 post so all of you could remember and interact. I'd like to get a group shot next time maybe post it to show the nation what we're up to.
