Greetings: On Sunday March 9 from 1-4 pm there will be another joint meeting of =20= the NH Guild Luthiers group and the New England Luthiers.

NHGL member Bud Wilkes (budwilkes@hotmail.com) is organizing that =20 effort if you need more information. Also, if you have been working on interesting riffs or chord =20 sequences, please bring your instrument along to share these.
