Doh!!!! SO close...
« on: November 18, 2013, 07:57:17 PM »
I mentioned a while back that I hoped our travels would coincide with a Taylor Road Show one day... SO CLOSE, and I missed it!  No one to blame but myself - I don't track all the Road Show dates.  Sigh.

How close, you ask?  Well, thanks for asking.  We are out and about with our RV right now - in the beautiful Texas coastal town of Rockport.  We've been riding around with our scoots, enjoying the coastal beauty, and just kicking back.  Settling in for the evening, I saw a post from Taylor on Facebook... there is a Road Show at a music store in Corpus Christi tonight!!  Yes, about 30 miles away!  I can't believe I missed this!   :(

Even a couple hours earlier, and we would have been on our way to that Road Show. 

Some day... some day.

Bummed for you.  Looks like Marc Seal is working that one - he did the show we went to last week in Cincinnati and it was great fun and great listening.

Ah, but there will be others. I'm always disappointed when I'm not able to make it to a RS when they are in the area. I wish TG would get their 2014 schedule posted so I can get it penned in.
