[quote=tony williamson;15541]i been a picker for 38 years..a martin hd 28 l.e. 1984, a martin hd28v, two stelling banjos, a sunflower and a staghorn, and a weber yellowstone honey tortoise mandolin for my bluegrass stuff. those are my two big passions. and my kids don't give a tinkers cuss for any of it. figures.
Great. Bet you know what a "harp" means to blues players, even Janis knew when she pulled her "harpoon" from that bandana. I have a 1964 HD-35 and a 1971 HD-28 and follow Doc Watson, the late Randall Hilton and of course, Tony Rice. I also have a Scheerhorn square neck Dobro in open G tuning and a Taylor 830 series acoustic with cut-away and Fishman pickup, tuning in open D for electric slide blues work- Elmore James and Bonnie Raitt are my "gurus" on slide.
I bought my two oldest grandchildren Baby Taylors for Christmas so they can "practice" with Grandpaw- The Gibson Sunflower and also the Sunburst are great "axes" too, I'm looking at one now- 1962 Kalamazoo mfg.
Not too shabby--
