Are you playing this one, Rob?

Are you bringing it to the Sweeney Hop?

Yeah--I've got it all strung up thanks to the hooks Dave Kirchner made.  It's a humdinger!  My best guess is now that it's an early H. C. Dobson due to the shape of the peghead.  The photo was taken on my son's cell phone.  I don't really know why it's squished. I'll try again for some better pictures.  I am bringing it to Appomattox, and I'll see you at the Super 8.
