Love the photo and the guitar! Would you sendme a copy? ( wvmiller@att.net)

Got my Proulx OM/D and am disappointed in it, so it is back for more work. Not a good sign. My Franklin OM by Nick Kukich is the best guitar I now own, even better than the Henderson.

I'm working on getting Orrin Star here for a workshop in the fall. Do you think ther'd be any interest in gettin him to come to KC?

Can't make camp again. My son is dealing with cancer this year and will be back at John's Hopkins for treatment about that time. Bummer.

I am another Posch afficiando. Just don't have one yet. Leo is the best! I think you also live in the same general area. Howdy.

Hi Roger,

Great photo!

Hey Roger,
I got my Posch 000-12 fret (#24)a few months back. What an amazing guitar! Leo really knows how to get that vintage tone from his instruments. At Winfield I played a Posch D18 style guitar belonging to Mike Horan and was equally impressed.
Hope to see you around someday for some picking and to see your Posch.
Thanks Kellar

Greetings, Roger!

Yeah, I had a pesky stroke (now 18 months ago!) but am pretty much recovered. Still some residual minor effects on flatpicking and fingerstyle, but it would be unreasonable to expect to recover 40 years of effort in a single year or two. Just practice, practice, practice that that stupid metronome. Missed Kamp this year, but will certainly be there next. Thanks for asking! Keep in touch, guy!

Thanks for the friendship Roger:)

Roger,
I am still loving my Posch. I think it is really starting to open up as it gets played. It has got me back into a little fingerpicking as it works well for that style as well as flatpicking. Do you have any pickups in yours? I play plugged in occasionally at a local coffeehouse and two Sundays a month in church. Leo put a McIntyre feather transducer pickup and a Crown mini condensor mic in mine. I play it through a DTar Solstice blender/preamp and have been really pleased with the amplified sound.
Will you be at Kamp this year? I will miss it but am planning on 2010.
Thanks Kellar

Roger,
Today I dropped off a set of 60's era Brazilian at Leos for a sunburst D42. It was raining buckets but it was fun to pick out a top and plan details. I found the wood on Ebay from a repair guy who bought it from Martin in 1980 when they sold off some of their wood inventory. I will let you know when it is ready to check out. Will you be at Winfield this year?
Kellar

Thanks for the kind words about my guitar. Leo was not happy about the nut and so made a new one as well as dressed the frets. I am looking forward to getting it back. Did Leo show you my Brazilian for the new guitar?
I will be at Winfield next month. We always camp in the Walnut Grove overflow area across the highway. I will try to get in touch with you then.
