Carry on baggage/dulcimer and ND related
OFF TOPIC discussions
This can be a very confusing issue. You never know what's going to change. Since airlines started charging for checked luggage, the # of carry-ons must have increased. Three weeks ago we flew to Hawai`i. On two flights over Mrs.Wanda's carry on had to be gate checked. But the guitar and ukulele we were carrying went as carry ons. The guitar went into a closet and the uke in the overhead bin. On the 3rd flight, the guitar even went into the overhead. And this was no gig bag, but a large heavy plywood case. I expected to gate check it, but they never asked me to do so.But most larger carr on bags ended up gate checked. It may not be long until the rules for carry on luggage are rewriten.Paul
I feel lucky to have found the mountain dulcimer and the joy it brings.
(but thanks!)Remember, FOTMD stands for friends (plural) of the mountain dulcimer. It's not about me- this place would be pretty dull with just me here! 
We should all pat ourselves on the back for making this place special. It's so great to have this little shack where any of us can just stop in anytime, sit on the porch to cool our heels, swap stories, work out some tunes, show some snapshots, and cut ourselves a hunk o' 1 year anniversary pie in the kitchen...
