“Guitars were always around in the house and my Dad would always have a guitar in his lap, even if he wasn’t playing it. It speaks to…personal, professional legacy…it is so essential to my family. I have known that guitar, my Dad’s Gibson, for so many years. That guitar is part of Dad.
The instrument is not just a vehicle, instruments have different songs in them. I think great art lasts forever and I do hope these get passed down to children, grandchildren, and on and on and on.”
