Stephen takes delivery of his Cedar/Indian Rosewood Columbia model. This particular guitar has a very responsive top that goes perfectly with Stephen's playing style and as always it's a pleasure to listen to him play!

When faced with adversities... call a friend! And since Matteo did not know what to do with the portable harp guitar... Andrea came to the rescue for a funny duet of Matteo's arrangement of the classic "smoke on the water".

Not the best performance ever, but fun non the less!

Muriel Played a series of concerts in Italy in 2011 playing a Maxmonte harp guitar. This is set in Treviso at the Festival delle Due Città.

This was a surprise... I knew Stephen Bennet was playing a few concerts with his Maxmonte, which he calls "The Max", but the picture his wife sent me was a bit... shocking! 

A Columbia model ended up in the VERY capable hands of none the less than Stephen Bennett!

Stephen and his wife Nancy came over for dinner while in Italy for Stephen's EU tour, and he fell in love with a cedar topped Columbia... and took it home! 

Once more my friends from ADGPA (Atkins Dadi Guitar Players Association) pulled off a great convention this year. The venue was fenomenal as always, the artists and seminars were top notch, and the vibe of the whole event was special.
