"David, the volume pot is easy to wire in. Imagine that the piezo here is your amp circuit, the wires are the 'speaker out' and the jack is the speaker .

- David, if your coming into the Phili airport for the gathering. Google directions to Rt. 422 west towards Reading and onto Lebanon. Through Lebanon onto Annville, at the traffic light- there you turn right onto 934 north. Go about 5-7 miles to Rt. 443 west - Levitz Park is about 3 miles after you get on rt.443. There`s a big white church on the right side of the road you bare off rt.443 to the left across from the church. I`ll have a yellow cgb gathering sign with balloons on the top where you make the turn off 443. Go about 1/8 mile the park entrance is on the left.

I have a vast collection of high res. photos of some of the wildest CBGs ever built and some of the biggest (oldest) blues celebs playing them. Let me know if you interested. All photos were taken by me while in the delta.
Thanks,
