Bleary eyes were evidence that many attendees were taking full advantage of Austin’s many attractions outside the Convention Center. Dining, partying and checking out Austin’s legendary urban bat colony – the largest in the nation – completed a full day’s activities for many.

Seen throughout the show were many musical stars, aspiring stars, and former stars. Peter Tork, of Monkee fame, who now represents Harrower Guitars, was on hand, as was Leslie West, former Mountain guitar hero now affiliated with Dean guitars who signed autographs and met fans to promote his Dean, Leslie West Soltero Signature model.

The NAMM Summer Session continues through Sunday, July 16, 2006.
