I’ve been so looking forward to attending this show with my two sons. Santa Cruz had been listed as an exhibitor until I checked again this morning. They are now not on the exhibitor list. I’m so disappointed as I am about an hour from Harrisburg. This would likely be my only opportunity to meet RH and/or other personnel from SCGC. Would love to have been able to share my 32 year journey with my ’90 TR. I realize that plans do change, but wondering what happened for SCGC to pull out. I know..stop whining, it’s not about me after all!
I’ll just keep on pickin’ and being blown away by my TR.
My optimism is hoping that maybe there has been a mistake and they will still be there. Wishful thinking.
Best,
Walter

Unfortunately, Richard told us in our latest podcast (#39) that they’ve pulled out of all shows for this next year – even NAMM. But we are starting to see improvements! He also said that with reservations, they are doing some shop tours on days no one is actually working in the shop, so if you make it out to Santa Cruz, you can probably arrange a tour, and probably with the man himself! But as far as getting together with the maestro “in the wild” so-to-speak, its gonna be a while longer.
He did disclose some very exciting info about a new . . . . uh, I think I’m not going to spoil the surprise, and let you listen to him yourself. Sorry! [ not really – 😉 ]

Both Santa Cruz and Froggy Bottom were originally listed but dropped out. Richard was also slated to be a speaker. There is a show in La Conner, WA in May and in Woodstock, NY in October.
It is a great show, well run, growing attendance, good musical performances. Bourgeois and Furch will be there in terms of small shop manufacturers. There are many well known solo acoustic archtop and flattop luthiers exhibiting.
This will the fourth time for the show (others were 2017, 2018 and 2019 before the pandemic) and I am looking forward to it will be attending again.
Regarding waiting until next year, this fifth novel Corona virus will be with us for many years to come. I suppose that we all need to decide at our own pace, when and how to return to living but it is not like it will all of a sudden be safer. We will have more vaccines, monoclonal antibody and antiviral treatments to mitigate its impact, but it will be here endemically and continuing to evolve. As the character Andy Dufresne said to Red in the Shawshank Redemption “I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really. Get busy living or get busy dying.
