I need to throw out a huge THANK YOU to Dennis Gardner and his family. I contacted Dennis a few weeks back to get his opinion on a Trumpet that i was considering for my son, he's starting High School this year and is due for a new horn. Not only did Dennis take a look at the trumpet via the WWW and give us his thoughts but he also suggested a few others. Then he tossed a new trumpet in the back of his truck and stopped in at my place while he was on vacation with his family. He let my son tryout the horn over the weekend with no strings attached. How cool is that!?!

I should also thank his family for indulging me a bit too. Can't let someone into the house without the grand tour, as it were.

Thanks again Dennis!

    Thanks to your family for welcoming us into your home. I hope that Daniel got a good idea of what a nice step-up trumpet can sound like and you find the search for the right one to be as much fun as I have showing kids what good quality horns can do for their playing pleasure.

    Great family, beautiful home, cold beer and warm welcome. You can't ask for much more than that. Oh yeah, guys..............Frank and Debbie's HT room is truly to die for, so tastefully done with just the right amount of personal touches.

    Another ClubPolk visit with good people..............

    Speaking of visiting.....

    I'll be in Oklahoma in about two weeks. Hope you don't mind a visitor yourself, Dennis :)

    Always seems to be good when Polkies get together.
    Tschüss

    Mad Props? Does that mean 'Thanks to'? Is this Frank or P Diddy?

    Cool story Frank.

    Zach,

    Give me a call when you are in the area, and we'll get together, I really need to pick your brain on front projection vendors. We are getting a ton of requests for installs in churches in the area and I need to find some better sources for pricing.
