The Indianapolis Summer NAMM show, 2005
John Jorgenson, Charlie Chadwick, Stephan Dudash, and me (Rick Shubb)
Special thanks to my buddy Dick Hardwick for
taking time out of his busy schedule to join us in his home
state. It was great to have him at the booth and on the bandstand,
and to meet some of his friends and family.
And thanks to Gary Swallows, Richard Gilewitz, Charlie Chadwick, Gonzalo Bergara, Stephan Dudash, all the guys at Saga, and of course my good friend, John Jorgenson, who makes any event special.
Attendance was a bit light. We did manage to have several productive meetings, but the highlights of the show for us were musical.
Friday night we co-sponsored a concert (along with Saga) featuring the John Jorgenson Quintet.The event was a big success. John's playing was simply phenomenal, and the whole group just keeps getting better all the time.
Then on Saturday John and the entire group visited the booth, where they played a few tunes. I got to sit in on a couple, much to my enjoyment. They stayed for a while and visited with everyone who came by to hear and meet them.

Livening up our booth was fingerstyle guitar wizard
Richard Gilewitz, who was kind enough to play a set for
us on each of the three days.
If you look carefully, you'll see that he's using Shubb Capo number two million, our solid gold, engraved piece of functional jewelry.

In past summer shows we've used just a minimal 10x10
booth, but this year we expanded to 20 feet. It was comfortable, and
seemed like just the right size for this show.
