• In October 2003 we had an unexpected, yet most welcome visit from British folk legend Martin Carthy. Sorry, no Martin MC Carthy signature editions in stock, but it was nice to see him! He wasn't hawking guitars, anyway, but stopped in with Tom MacKenzie, a musician who had taken lessons from me ca. 1970 and who wanted to stop by to say "hello."
• OK, it's nothing for sale, but my good friend and builder of excellent banjos, Mike Ramsey stopped in the store for a visit 28 August 2003. So, of course, I had to get a photo of us (I'm the old one on the right)
