NAMM 2023: Day 1 in photos

Thursday, April 13 marked the official first day of the 2023 NAMM Show. It was a great day to be inspired by the talent, innovation and diversity of music makers and the music industry. Photographer Bob Steshetz, writer George A. Paul and writer-photographer Robert Kinsler were on hand at the event to capture the action at the Anaheim Convention Center, including the presentation of NAMM's "Music for Life" Award to singer-songwriter/guitar great John Fogerty (get more information on that honor HERE).
