Speaking of Gibson, up in my attic gathering dust is a GA 5T (not a 50, unfortunately, or it wouldn't be gathering dust) Skylark that I got for a song at a guitar show about 20 years ago.

The Hot Club is coming east in May, but will get no farther north than Martinsburg, West Va., on May 24. Miriam and I will catch the act at the Jammin' Java in Vienna, Va. (DC suburb) on 5/23.

Thank much for the compliments on our music. The gentlemen I work with are, indeed, extraordinary+ players. Unfortunately, we don't do much work out of the NW region. I being the baby in the band at 55y.o., by at least 15 years, (these guys just blow me away in their 70's, they haven't lost a step) we don't tend to travel much, though for the right price I may get them to hop on a plane. Certainly enjoy what i hear on your audio samples also. Hope we can make a connection someday.
Certainly all the best

That band is as good as it gets, better than ever now, and I'm really glad they're back together again. I saw 'em in Philadelphia just before the breakup and at the Rodeo Bar in NYC last year, and in between Miriam and I caught Elana playing for tips at Threadgill's North in Austin, Tex. Whit really nails that big fat '40s Western Swing-Benny Garcia sound, don't you think?

At 8:58pm on April 4, 2008, Barry Kunz said…: Hi Rich,

That 'record player on my home page is something that came to mind when I thought about ‘records,’ a way to say it vividly, and always a reminder of America’s rich musical history. Back in the day (as 78s faded away, or broke into a thousand pieces when dropped on the cement floor), we'd stack on a half-dozen 45-RPMs and let them play through.

"Burning the Toast," is an April Barrows song I find so affable, just downright neighborly. And that makes it an ideal addition to our first “Fabulous Places” travel music CD, this one with a slight bed and breakfast accent.

I love your “Be Careful What You Wish For,” and you’ve got the bravely distinctive voice that could be around for a while.

By the way, does the domain richjenkins.com belong to you? There’s a Richard Jenkins out there that owns about 140 domains including this. If it’s not you, I think you can snap it up for about $100. You might want to pick it up and put it away for a while (unless already it belongs to you).

Best regards,

Barry

At 9:31pm on April 2, 2008, Doug Connah said…: Rich, that's a homemade guitar, made not by me but for me by a fine Detroit-area luthier, Gary Zimnicki. His website is www.zimnicki.com. It's a lovely little archtop, only 15" across the lower bout and 2 1/2" wide, built to fit me perfectly. I'm also a Gibson lover, but I sold my 175 (plus a '46 Epi Triumph) to finance Gary's guitar. I still have (that is, my son still has) the Gibson SJN Country Western flattop I bought new in 1966 after saving my pennies for a whole year. List price was $210 with a pasteboard case, and I got it for $180 at Rhythm City in Atlanta, Georgia. The case disintegrated about 40 years ago. My first Gibson was the lowest-end archtop of the day (I think an L-48) that my mother gave me as a high school graduation present. Much to my regret it was stolen in a house break-in.
