DON STEVISON'S PLECTRUM BANJO SITE - FIGA Convention 2008

All I can say is "Fantastic"!! From the first day when we arrived the whole atmosphere was the most up-beat of any FIGA Convention I have ever experienced. The workshops were very well organized and presented and most helpful. The jam sessions were alot of fun. And the concerts in the evenings were nothing short of spectacular.

What made it special also was the fact that I had family with me and that is always such a treat. Connie, my wife, Max and his family, Karen, his wife, and Megan, his daughter were there. As well as Michelle Novogradac and her granddaughter Cheyenne. That is one group that is tough to keep up with. And those two girls were on the move consistently. They went to a couple of workshops, then it was off shopping or to the pool!! St Petersburg is a very historic city. We did a tour when we went out to The Pier. The public transportation was fantastic.

Enjoy the pictures. Send me any comments and I hope to see all of you in Arkansas and the next banjo events somewhere around country in 2009!!!
