<HTML>Hi list,  One main reason,and I don't know why these two are scheduled back to back.The NAMM show is the week after the convention,which I usually have to attend,as I own a music store.It's hard to leave town for three weeks in a row,as the next week is beach vacation for the kids.This year I opted for the convention,because I have'nt been since Orlando,I feel cheated by not going,not only for my customers,but myself. Best, Hazen Bannister</HTML>
