No official count has been released yet, but an estimated 300 guitarists showed up on the lawn of the West Branch Library on Franklin St. early Saturday to take part in the world record attempt for largest guitar ensemble.
The record was far short of the national record held by Nashville at 1,352, and the current world record set in Wroclaw, Poland at 6,346 guitarists., but no one seemed to mind and there’s already talk of turning it into an annual event.
Musicians from the Boscoe France Band and Calabash were among participants. Local restaurants were overflowing past capacity after the music stopped.
rumor has it we may do it again as early as next spring, it was a great get together, everything went perfectly. This is the kind of thing we need more of in Evansville.
