The most compelling in 2011 was the realization of my long time guitar project with luthier Ronny Scheithauer here in Germany. Unfortunately not Hamer built, but it had so many thoughts invested in and was so individual that it surely made sense to select a luthier to drive up in case of necessity. Other than that, I was happy to be able to help out a couple of HFC'ers, see my son's band Daily Friday develop, see both older boys playing together on stage for the first time with the school band, and had many nice discussions on the board. Nothing to bother though.
