#smallwin Howdy, from Wichita, Kansas (aka “The Peerless Princess of the Plains”), where I am anxiously waiting for the big brown truck to deliver my new Tanglewood TW73, a solid cedar over solid hog parlor size. Fingers crossed for damage free delivery!
Just checked out Tanglewood Guitars. That TW73 looks awesome. Enjoy!
Gotta see that movie!
hey guys hi from sunny hot Alberta

Great show again. I’m now a huge fan of the Dead Horses band. And thanks a ton for bringing Mario Beauregard guitars to our attention. Another Canadian luthier for me to follow and possibly collect (I currently own a vintage Laskin and a not-yet-vintage Simon and Patrick). There are some songs that just belong on nylon strings, but Classical guitars are not always the most comfortable to us steel-string acoustic folks. So I was pumped to see that Mario makes a Jazz Nylon model “to accommodate jazz and flat top players who want to feel at home on a nylon string guitar.” It seems the neck width and shape are more like steel stringed guitars, and the the fretboard is curved at a familiar radius. All of his guitars are gorgeous, but I definitely want to add his Jazz Nylon to my guitarsenal.
You know you are a guitar geek when one of your favorite daytime dates is sitting on the sofa holding hands with your sweetie watching Acoustic Tuesday.
Was watching this episode just now, and it brought to mind the other side men story, “The Wrecking Crew”, and I recommend it
