Here where it all took place for Summer NAMM 2008.
The legendary Nashville, TN

The Renaissance Hotel and Nashville Convention Center is where we headed out bright and early every Morning.

As we headed down into the exhibit halls it didn't appear the high price of gas had slowed this crowd a bit!

High above the exhibit floor circles the halo of the idea center. This is the place Russ and Skyla spent many hours picking up ways to better serve our customers.

Check out these pictures from what we feel is the "World's Greatest Guitar"... CA. This is a whole new way of cleaning your instrument.

We saw lots of entertainers from Anthony Gomes to Thom Bresh. Thom is at the Martin Guitar booth playing Merle's 1938 D-28 with a custom Bigsby neck. Wow!

The Ryman was rocking with "Little Kids Rock" at the All Star Guitar Night.

It was hard to convince Skyla this was not the real elvis.

This however is the real Cookie Monster. You can see it's a little shakey...this is because the girl taking the picture was afraid he would eat the camera....

...but Sesame Streets Bob McGrath helped calm him down for another picture with Russ.

Bob was honored at a breakfast session with the "Music for Life" award.

Russ had a great visit at the Deering booth with famed banjo player Eddy Adcock. They did a lot of visiting about mutual Alaskan friend, Lyle West.

This picture had to be included since this is where Skyla spent most of the trip.

Finally, no Nashville trip is complete with out stopping by Mike's Ice Cream Shop for a cherry soda.
