Hey Mickey,

I take it you've been to Bend before....I notice you play Breedlove guitars. They're great aren't they! I just toured the factory a couple of months ago when I was there for a gig. Bend is beautiful country. By the way, thanks for the youtube instructionals. You are the very first lesson I came across on the net when I started playing about 6 months ago. I'm addicted now! :D Have a great time in Bend.

Yep Ive been to Bend...Ive been playing Kims guitars for about 8 years. I currently have a Gerhard model. Unfotunately I dropped 2 people and came directly back to Dallas last night. I will be going back to pick up the Lancair when its completed in March. At that time I will spend 2 weeks in Bend getting trained...Looking forward to spending some time in Oregon...i need to get up to Portland to see Mr Lee as well....Mickey

Micky,

If you end up near Hood River, give me a yell and I'll buy you lunch, a beer, or both.

Mickey,

If you would like, I will email Bobby Koefer that you will be there in March. If he will be in town then, he may want to meet you for a cup of coffee somewhere in Bend. Let me know via Forum email.

Mickey,

I'll go ahead and email him to see if he will be in town at that time. (He still does gigs all around the nation with the Texas Playboys.) Email me via my Forum email and give me your phone number and email address, and tell me the best time to contact you.
