Special Paddle Call
« on: March 15, 2012, 04:35:25 PM »
About three years ago, I ordered a paddle call from Mike Lapp.  Well just before Nashville he phoned to tell me I was up next on the list for my call.  I asked him if he could leave it un-finished.  I wanted to take it to Nashville and get some signatures as a momento of my first time at the convention.  I had seen posts in the past where other people have done the same thing.  The call is made of butternut and cedar.  This is a very special call and a lot of great memories are attached with the call from all the people I met and hung out with for 3.5 days. Thanks Mike for a great call! and thanks to everyone else for the great time.  I will never forget the experience!

After the signatures, I returned it to Mike and he applied the final finish over the signatures.

Nice....
Apologizing:  does not always mean you are wrong and the other person is right.  It just means that you value your relationship more than your ego.
