Dick Thaxter's 1999 GbL_LE #11/25

Here's a nice pic of Dick Thaxter with his GbL_LE (#11). Dick says, "On the weekend of May 13th, 2000, about 75 folks gathered at Westmoreland State Park in Virginia for the third RMMGA East Coast Gathering. The Friday night event was a three hour open mic at the park's restaurant (arranged by local Cathy Horner) while radio station WRAR broadcast a live show. Although it was an acoustic event, I decided to do a couple of numbers with the GbL_LE. It was an amazing weekend with Collings, Goodalls, Lowdens, each's, Walker's, Santa Cruz, and even a couple of 30's and 40's Martins in attendance along with a great bunch of folks that I've become friends with-- ranging in ability from pro's to beginners. This was the third event and I've been at all three."
