January 16-18 in Phoenix. This is a great event, as you will see when you look at the info via the attached link. I am scheduled to play a set in the non-pedal sessions on the Saturday afternoon, and will be using weissenborn-style guitars (which ones I still haven't finally decided but I'm working on it).

	Bob Blair says: 12/23/2013 12:25:49 AM Last year there weren't. The vendors were more geared to the pedal steel crowd, though I think there were a couple of lap steels. A lot of non-pedal players there - the Saturday non-pedal room was great, and from time to time there would be a non-pedal player on the main stage too. I was the only acoustic guy on the program though. (At the Dallas show in March of every year both Beard and Benoit are usually there, as well as Georgeboards - George sometimes has a weiss-style axe or two...)
	Bob Blair says: 12/24/2013 7:50:58 AM I realized this morning that I was not the only acoustic player on the program - Dan Tyack used my Benoit Cajunborne for his entire set and was thoroughly awesome (that over-used word is entirely appropriate in this case!). Most if not all of Dan's set was done in the DADGAD tuning.
