CRUMP!

That's the sound my jaw just made hitting the floor. Fantastic, Paul, but I knew it would be. I can't wait for the reunion in just 11 days! And looking forward to meeting you!

Paul B. I had the pleasure of getting a peek at your bass when I visited Paul W. last month. It was breathtaking then and it was only curing at the time. The finished product is unbelievable. Is it going to RIC 75? Can't wait for my MMT bass. (wink, wink, nudge nudge, say no more, say no more).

Yes, Brian, Paul W. will be delivering it to me there. Afterward, I will entrust Joey Vasco to send it back to Weeeesconsin and home. Don't want to try it on the airplane.

That's probably a good idea Paul. You're a better man than I am because I could never say goodbye to that masterpiece. Where in Weeeesconsin are you? I have a good friend originally from Sparta.

Once again Congratulations.

Wow. Stunning color and the burst blend is spot on, how I like them. And of course the CB adds such a classy touch. I like the CB's b/w contrast against the mink, and the white pickguard adds to the contrast. Both Pauls, a real stunner. Congrats.

Oh.... by the way, Paul.... Paul asked me to throw you this:

In fairness to Paul, Melibee, he did let me out of the cupboard toward the end of the day and permitted me throw rose petals in front of him as he made his way around the workshop. Then came the highlight of the day..... he let me sweep the floors!!

Thats the best looking "new" finish I've seen in a long time.

You guys should make a Paul W/ Dale F calendar.
(Or a Dale F/ Paul W calendar!)

I'd like to see all of these works of art in one place.

We both have tons of material, it's true.

Mine's been in the works since last spring, when I got John Hall's permission. Look for a release date sometime in November.

Galleys at the show, perhaps, Paul?
