Bob and Muriel's presentation "Your Philanthropy In Action" is cutoff, I'm sorry. My spot was not ideal to get it fullscreen, not to mention at the end, you'll see the TruFire camera 2 backed up directly in front of me for some future TBD B-reel crowd shots - so I saved my battery for P.4 up next.

I'll find a link to the presentation and put it here: ___

Outside the ballroom each year, there is a silent auction where highest bidder can win an array of brand-new, manufacturer donated products like recorders, software, guitars basses and services. To attend all you need is a NAMM Show general badge, but to bid is free. This year it was done at the Marriott which was awesome, because the Hilton's been getting a bit SMALL and musty-smelling over the years and this room is only 3 years old and expanded to fit EVERYONE.

Last covered this in 2007 when I brought in a Fox News team and we interviewed Jonny Hiland, Seymour Duncan, Muriel, Robben Ford, George Lynch and many others.

This time no crew with me, but the TruFire camera men were stepping all over me so I had to keep moving out of the way.
