Ashley Sanders Classical Guitar
Hi All,
So I got to play golf yesterday. It was fun, it was tiring, I was exhausted when I got home around 3PM. Out like a light, after some light food and water. Hurt my shoulder and my left wrist as well. Po’ baby. Moving on….
Some great emails when I finally checked them last night. Notably, Daryl Perry, one of the great luthiers of North America, who I met last year at the GFA, asked if I would still like to have one of his guitars in my studio. ? I even wrote this to him……let me think…….of course!!!
So, that’s happening and I’m very happy and excited to see his work here. Time line is still up in the air, he’s busy, but I’ll keep you posted. He updated me for the build coming Spring of 2014. I asked (nicely) if he would keep me on his build schedule. Hopefully he says yes.
New guitars from Kenny Hill, Darren Hippner, Manuel Adalid, Larry Breslin, Douglass Scott, and Ashley Sanders is sending a new Ziricote Guitar to me next week sometime. I love Ashley’s work. Very clean, meticulous, always prettier than you might or could expect, and seriously loud and punchy, with an excellent voice.
Robert Desmond (Bob to his friends) is coming for a visit on April 22, bringing 4 guitars with him. I’ll take at least 2 or 3. Excited to see what he has in store for us.
On the book side, I’m plowing thru Prelude #12 of the Well Tempered Clavier. I’m committing to working on these books every day until they’re done. They have been on my plate for too long and I need them done. 🙂
Updates to follow as the classical guitars come thru. Best and go do something nice for yourself. Something that makes you smile. Enjoy…Rich
