Robbie Robertson

When I heard Robbie being referred to as an "underrated" guitar player, my first question is who exactly made that reference.  Because if it was someone who actually played guitar, or any instrument for that matter, well I just don't think so.  First of all Robbie was a "Hawk", and a well respected "Hawk" by the "Hawk" himself!!  And not at all lastly--he played for Bob!!  Now, how does one get into Bob's "Band" of one is underrated?  Whoever thinks that this man is "underrated", let them ask Clapton.  Or anyone else who knows one end of any musical device from the other.  "Underrated"??  Get a grip!!

2001 D-41

OK--D-45 is the bomb.  But for the money, the D-41 has it all.

United Airlines Signature Edition

I really hate to take a stand on a non-musical issue, well I guess it is a musical issue because it involves guitars.  But if pressed for an opinion, I would say people who do this to guitars should be treated in the same manner as a horse thief two hundred years ago!!  Further, no other profession uses a tool so costly to make so little money.  So while I am still ranting--musicians who work for less than adequate wages are doing all struggling musicians a disfavour. Charity events not included of course.  And don't get me started on the folks who stop and listen on the street and don't feed the kitty!!  And as for those who steal musical instruments!!  String 'em up too!!

1948 J-45

The challenge here is to maintain 70 years of character while restoring playability.  Hopefully Ian will post an "after" picture!!

Bob Dylan

Bob with his J-200 from the cover of "Nashville Skyline".  I purchased this LP in the 60's at the University of Manitoba bookstore.  This record, musically at least, changed my life!!
