>Thanks, Todd, looks like a quality rag. I love Guy Clark, interesting to know he does some woodworking. I'll check out the local book stores for a copy this week. I'd love to subscribe, but have no time to read another magazine for at least the next year.

Wow, thanks again, Todd, that was a great article.

>Also check out Judy Threet in Woodworker's Journal e-Zine. One of the best of the 3rd wave of custom luthiers. Uses a shot of a wood-bodied plane as part of her maker's label.

>Yeah, love it that Threet's mostly a hand tool user. I'm still not sure my ear is good enough for making instruments, but will give it a try eventually.

>Todd (or anyone who knows), have you seen the series "The Blues", particularly Wim Wenders movie? There's a singer named Shemekia Copeland who's accompanied by a guitartist who's playing a very different looking guitar. Do you know what kind/brand it is?

Thanks,

Pam

>Hi Pam--haven't seen the show, but Jimmy Vivino uses a lot of different vintage guitars. Besides Shemekia, he also played with her father, Johnny Copeland, a great blues player.

His website is at the link. Hey, drop him a line if someone here doesn't know.

He's also Conan O'Brien's band guitarist...

>Thanks, Mike. In the bowls of PBS I found the music credits, turns out it was Arthur Neilson. I still don't know what kind of guitar, though. It looks like a resonator of some sort. Oh, well, it's a great series, especially this Wenders episode, highly recommended.

Pam

Wow!!!
