REALLY great news. Charlottesville artist Edward Thomas and I are collaborating on some great cigar box guitars. Ed and I grew up together in Winchester, Virginia, and finally have reconnected on this project. We're both pretty excited about them & will post pictures as soon as they're available. We plan on putting them up for sale here and at the Consignment House on Charlottesville's downtown mall.
Ed just had a nice big featured article in the C'ville weekly. NICE for him to get some more attention, as he is among the greatest of our contemporary painters. He really is. No joke.
Ed also gave me some nice wood for making instruments - some nice wide Black Walnut, and of Charlottesville fame, some planks from what was called "Tarleton's Oak" for years.... where they thought Tarleton and his men camped out. Wherever Tarleton camped, it looks like some nice cigar box guitar neck wood.
