sorry I have been dealing with a death in the family and have not been able to update the post. Yes we do have some food there. We try to let those who want to do a few solos. Then we take turns. It's pretty laid back but a good time. I will post more when I get some free time.

Bobby Menard still owns one of Doug's old Emmons guitars. The old Bobby's is long gone :( The good news is that there is a New Bobby's :D :D ...
