Look who came to Greensboro!

Saturday afternoon, I got to meet a guy I've always wanted to meet, and hang with him as well as his wife & daughter.

George Furlanetto!!!

Great guy, very friendly and easy to talk with. He was visiting his Greensboro dealer, who also happens to be ours. We even dragged him down to the Roscoe Sawdust Factory for a quick & dirty (hey, it's a wood shop, you can't stay clean! ) tour and notes swapping session.

Unfortunately, Keith was committed elsewhere and couldn't do the hang!

Anyhow, here's a photo of George & I (and someone else who's name I did not get, sorry...good player though - owns the ash BN5 that George is holding in the photo!), one thing I didn't expect - George is TALL! I'm a good 6'2", and as you can see, he's got at least a couple inches on me! Oh, and the reason I look so grubby is that I'd had a gig the night before and didn't get home until after 4am, I'd literally just woke up and run up to do the hang....

Glad I made it to the store for this. Some great sounding basses all around. Oh yeah, my 7 year old son is also visible in the picture. Gotta get 'em started early.

Gard, do you realize you posted a picture of yourself? I am glad I am not a mean person, otherwise I would have a Photoshop hay day!

I don't know why I didn't post this earlier, but if you ever head up this way, you can check out George's shop and then continue on to Toronto for a Club Bass hang (plus "check up" on your Canadian dealer )

I don't think you are all that nice...I think you have a well-developed sense of self-preservation.



Jeff, you never know, I've always wanted to visit Canada, may just talk the wife into a road trip up that way one day!
