Wow, we DID meet...I was probably in M&A that day becasue my son was working there for while and I would frequent the place. Well, I would like to get together sometime, maybe you can come out to Griffin's when we play some 2nd Saturday...if you do, please come up and talk to me! The new CD sounds exciting, I heard some of it I guess on you MYSpace page?
Since you guys played a t Texas Steaks, you should definitely check out playing there now that it's Griffin's. They are a great group of people and we have enjoyed it...into our 3rd year there now! The guy to talk to is John Gillette (like the razor company). Feel free to drop my name. Anyway, post some pics of your guitars as I am interested in seeing them! Now that you have my website address, email address, let's keep in touch, Edward
I am surprized I don't know you! I live in Glen Burnie and have been plyaing music in the are for over 20 years. I see we both like Leon Redbone too! I see we both like archtops and have several including Harmonys!
Of your instruments I own these:
1976 Martin D-28, 1970 Harmony Sovereign H1260, 1955 Harmony Patrician archtop. I also own a 1970 Harmony Broadway archtop, a 1948 Epiphone Zenith, and about 20 other instruments, some of which I have made. I am currently building a lapsteel in the old Gibson tradition.

I play in a trio called Sparks, Raymond & McCoy and we play regularly every second Saturday at Griffin's Grille in Arnold Maryland from 8 to 11pm, up near the community college...used to be the old Oxbow Inn. Hope you can stop by some second Satruday! It would be great to meet you. Edward
