Hi all--

My wife and I often play together at historical sites.  Today we performed in a 19th Century log cabin.  We were asked to set up about six feet in front of the hearth in a room that had a lively fire going in the fireplace.  (The room was pretty small, so moving farther away was not an option.)  I was afraid of possible damage to my bass from the heat of the fire a scant two yards away, so I asked that we be located in another room.  Was I right to be concerned?  Could the heat have melted glue or caused other problems?  Or was I being overly cautious?

Thanks and Happy Holidays.
