John Knowles

It's been awhile since we've seen John Knowles here on the old Blog.  I always think of John whenever I play guitar and am grateful for his wonderful "Fingerstyle Quarterly."  For a fingerpicker, the Quarterly is the best deal in town.  Not only is the instruction and the tabs first class--I like to just sit and listen to the CD.  Again John, many thanks!!

Earl Klugh

A fine gentleman and a great guitarist.  Go out and see Earl, and tell him you saw him on Jack's Blog.

Peggy White Guitar

Another wonderful Peggy White Guitar about to make the scene.  Who will be the owner of this beauty?  I played my Peggy White Guitar today...  Did you play yours?

1967 Gibson Southern Jumbo

I got this guitar brand new in Winnipeg just before they brought in the sales tax.  All these years later she is still singing with the help of Yosemite Sam.

Tracy and Grit

Nice smile Tracy.  I'd be smiling too.  You are in pretty good company.  If anybody is wondering--these are two of the boys and girls who make the toys!!  Thank you guys for the wonderful work that you do.

Everly J-200s

In the 50's, these guys were right up there with Elvis.  They were going thru a pair of J-200's every month thus the huge pick guards.  Soon they designed the Everly J-185s which went through several minor evolutions, but to this day remain iconic among collectors.  And no--I do not own an Everly guitar.  Does anyone know where one might be found?

Johnny Cash

Mr. Cash had a lot of guitars, but you don't see this Martin Archtop in his hands too often.  My first guess is that it is an F-7.
