This year's CAAS convention in Nashville was a real barn burner. It was the most successful CAAS I've ever experienced. I had a chance to share my new Morris S106 with many of my friends. This guitar is a fingerstyle player's dream. It has a very well balanced tone and a lot of volume. The folks at Morris Guitar have definitely been listening to the input of fingerstyle artists. There are many innovations incorporated into their guitars that really pay off. There are several models to choose from and you can find them at Artisan Guitars in Franklin, TN.

My good friend Julian Smith played one of the best performances ever. He was accompanied by a string quartet of four ladies from Lexington, KY. To hear them play Mr. Bojangles made the whole CAAS trip worthwhile. As good as CAAS was this year, I have to say that I really missed Eddie Pennington. I think he had bigger fish to fry in Montana.

Also, thanks to Bill, Ellie, and W.T. Warmoth, and Itsuko Moridaira of Morris Guitar for all they do for pickers like me. They hold the Chet Atkins Tribute which is a pre-CAAS party in Franklin, TN. Its one of my favorite gigs.

All these gigs as well as all the other gigs I've played this summer have kept me hopping and I really enjoyed it.

See ya later, Shane]]> http://shaneadkins.com/news.html#24 Wed, 06 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0700 Singer, Songwriter, Thumbstyle Guitarist - Shane Adkins - News http://shaneadkins.com/news.html#23

Actually, they each win a Shane Adkins CD. Its not quite as good as a free trip to Opryland, but considering they pushed Opryland in a ditch and built a shopping mall, a cd will have to do. :o)

Maybe we'll have another contest sometime. That was fun!
