Our thanks also to Ernie Ball and Music Man for their sponsorship, to Roger Hall and Andy Rogulich for their excellent workshops on recording and mastering and to Micky and Patty Patten and the staff of Grandma's Music & Sound for providing the NMMA with a place to hold these workshops. We'll do it all again in the spring. Let us know how we can serve you.
