Anyone heard any more about this? I'm pretty sure I'm not coming. Bubba

Your better off staying home. Our wonderful king oh I mean governor is looking to stop people flying in and making sure they quarantine for 14 days. God only knows what other crap he's pulling.

ChiefBubba

Yes I talked to Pete this morning, he's still trying to figure things out. I'm staying home and hoping they get straight by the October hunt. Bubba

Just saw on Facebook that they canceled. Going to do some kind of online call auction and seminar with the call makers. Bubba

I had a pretty bad feeling that this was going to happen, hard to put an event on with the short notice he was going to have to let people come. I was looking forward to getting something from Marlin again this year and meeting more members, guess it will have to wait until next year. Thanks for letting us know Bubba

He did say they were going to try and do an online thing for the call makers. So you could probably still get something from Marlin. Bubba

What a shame, was really looking forward to it. Maybe I can make Unicoi but I hate that January drive from Michigan.

Perhaps, but I fear that if it comes to pieces being bid on from him I will not even be in the ball park, what I have seen sell on ebay of his tends to go for much more than he asks at the shows. You never know though.

So call him and buy one.

x2 Tell him what you're looking for sound wise and he'll get you hooked up. He'll have plenty to sell he would've taken to the show that probably won't make auction, I'd imagine they won't have a whole ton of listings, but then again maybe they will? Either way, he's making calls and selling them still without much if any wait if he has some ready.

Money I have saved up is all to be released the week of that event, I will have to wait until then, I set it up that way so I would have at least some money to go to the event with.

As I stated above I can do that but not until the week the event was set to take place, The person I drive for worked with me to hold any pay I get until that week and to ask him for it early would mess him up so I have to wait.

To be honest I am still new enough at this that I simply do not know what sound it is that I want, that is where the event is a big help, you get to handle and play so many difference calls, each sounding and feeling different in the hand. I was also not sure if I was going to get a one sider or a fiddle box, I wanted to handle those because of my hand issues. I think I will have to go with a fiddle box this year, never played a one sider before.

Gonna miss seeing old friends and meeting new ones. I was really looking forward to this event to get out of the "Lockdown Funk", lol.

Very good friend of mine's daughter is a nurse in a hospital here in the populated SE Pa. She said they haven't had a Coronavirus patient in a month. That doesn't correlate to what we hear on the news. Hard to know what to believe anymore.

Wishing everyone well.

Hate to hear it's canceled. Seems I never have the time off to make it to this or unicoi.

This year my work schedule had me off that weekend, but I figured this virus stuff might shut it down. Sure enough ...

Maybe my schedule will work out for unicoi. Hope to meet some of you guys at some point.
