I recently had the opportunity to pass through The
Chautauqua Institute (Chautauqua,
NY) working as a
Guitar Tech for Dion, and got the chance to spend a few hours with my parents, and my sister and her family who live there each summer. I had a great visit, and had time during my Dion
work day to change strings on my father's acoustic/electric
Fender mandolin. I missed a Summer Strummers performance by one day, but I did get a photo of this summer's line up. My father, pictured lower left, has been playing a Fender mandolin instead of the 1916
Gibson F-4 (pictured to the right) because Summer Strummers gig requires a mandolin he can plug into an amp. Good looking group, would love to hear the Saw.
