My skills simply wouldn't merit the honor.

I had the chance to meet Simon in Memphis last June and to try a couple of his guitars. They are wonderful. Anyone in the area should pay him a visit.

Thanks for posting this gracious offer Simon.

As I have two of your guitars here, and third pending, well...you and I meeting in-person will just have to wait...Oregon to Florida isn't in the cards right now.

I agree that Simon's guitars are top-shelf, and this is something that folks within striking distance might want to take advantage of...!

EDIT: P.S. This is what a Fay can sound like...

What an outstanding offer. I'm jealous of those that can make it there. Please post comments/pic's if you do. I'll have to settle for the 'vicarious' route

Having heard Larry and read so much about Smon's guitars, it's probably just as well I no longer live in Florida!

...but, but, but, Chris...I heard that you'll be in Texas, and we all know that Florida is just a hop, skip, and a jump away...!
