  1. Couldn’t help myself…I saw your web address in your signature block and had to peek. Lovely work. My husband has played guitar for 40+ years and has collected many beautiful instruments over the years….I’m happy to know you’ve found a soothing and creative pasttime that you clearly have a talent for. Have a great life!
