Peggy White Maple Guitar

I am guessing Peggy has the binding on this by now--I will ask her if it is spoken for and whether or not we might get to see it at the Ottawa Guitar Show this summer.

Johnny Cash

This old dude could rock a stage.  I don't think anyone, other than Elvis, had more stage presence.  He was the first to dare to turn his back to the audience--and when he turned around--all he had to do was say "Hello...  I'm Johnny Cash!"

Michel Pellerin

Michel builds great guitars.  I hope to see him at the next Ottawa Guitar Show.  If he has one for sale--someone just might walk away with it.  Isn't that what happened last year?

John Knowles

Most of my fingerstyle licks come from John and his Fingerstyle Quarterly.  What a nice tribute to John and his great music.

Elvis J-200

Elvis would have been eighty one yesterday.  This guitar, and the suit, were featured in the 50's movie "Loving You."  I would go back to the 50's in an instant.  My Aunt Alice worked at the Dominion store and she could check you out, take your money, give you change and have you on your way much, much faster than the scanners and computers of today.  And of all the things from the 50's that are now dated--this old J-200 is still rockin'.
