Quick update on the Fina Dupa CD for those who are interested.

We've received a few very complimentary reviews, two of which have appeared in significant distribution newspapers in Colorado. I've updated Link Removed with quotes and links.

The CD is available at [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] now, and should show up on iTunes at any time.

I haven't posted here in a while.
Been too busy playing the Valenti I bought from Dr Funk. :D
(Many thanks to the Dr!)

That thing is groovy man. It's crazy....the neck is slightly meatier than my Pedulla, but it's playability is fantastic.
Sounds incredible too.

So...if you're thinkin' about ordering a new one, you should get in line now. ;)

I played mine at the auditions for People's Fair in Denver yesterday. For some reason, there were throngs of photographers, and I picked up a few cards. So, hopefully I'll finally have an action shot with this baby.

This is just my opinion but if I were to get a spalted maple top I wouldn't get a burst finish. I'd only get the burst finish with a quilted top. Everything else looks cool to me.
