It’s Friday already and hard to believe that the convention is halfway through. Time flies when your days are packed with everything guitar!
First up, a rehearsal with the ever-enthusiastic Bill Kanengiser of LAGQ with this year’s GFA Convention Guitar Orchestra.
A special luncheon with this year’s Hall of Fame awardees and ICAC Semi-Finals and Finals judges, who have a hard job to do in the next few days. Pictured here: judges John Dearman, Matt Gould, Lorenzo Micheli, Judicael Perroy, Alvaro Pierri, Beth Schneider, and Scott Tennant along with Hall of Famers David Starobin and Matanya Ophee.
Here is the GFA blog’s resident photographer, Sungmin Shin, playing for this afternoon’s master class with David Russell.
Gaelle Solal and fans after her beautiful concert this afternoon.
GFA Hall of Fame awardee and legendary luthier Manuel Velázquez and friends.
This year’s youth social was a big hit. Although we recognize one particular participant sitting on the floor who might be crashing the party…
The amazing Paul Galbraith in concert tonight.
Ah Ophee…
has he started an argument yet?
Or controversial discussion?
He’s a bull! 😉
Is this how Americans have fun?
Looks rather stupid to me. 😉
Hey Gaëlle!
Sorry to see you have to hang around with such wimps.
Low groupies.
You deserve better!
May I introduce myself: matcho outside; but a true gentleman with the ladies.
Oh… and I’ve got real staying-power. 😉
Guys… that one comment was a bit in bad taste…
Sorry.
I know it’s good fun to pull faces sometimes! 😉
