just returned from a half-week Baritone Retreat at Pistol River, OR
hosted by Les Stansell, Luthier, Thurs to Sat, Aug 9-11, 2018.

along with Kimo Hussey, workshop leader, 4 luthiers were in attendance
showing some of their instruments and sharing a lot of intersting
information about luthier-related topics.

the luthiers were Les Stansell (host), Mark Roberts (Portland, OR),
Kevin Bedoe (Kinnard, San Diego, CA), Manny Halican (Honolulu, HI).

the Oregon Coast between Brookings (south of Pistol River) and Gold Beach (north)
was stunning. Whale watching, turkeys, rabbits, and wonderdul
scenery. Temperature (for those of us from Seattle - 8 of us) was
about 20 degrees lower in the mid 60's.

final night concert featured Kimo Hussey playing a Baritone from
each of the luthiers - wonderful! :)

there may be other 'Regional" Workshops in your areas featuring
other local luthiers. (hopefully) :)

keep uke'in',

PS intentionally not dealing with details of the content covered -
will let Kimo share if he wants to or save it for your own workshop.
around 20 participants (TX, WA, NV, CA, and OR at least!)
