[mplpost] Canadian Guitars

[Paul Langille]

Hi Folk's:

My favorite Canadian Guitar is my Larrivee, I bought my first Larrivee off
David Bradstreet in the Mid Seventies and have been a fan ever since, I sold
that guitar in the early eighties, and went Larrivee-less for a number of
years...Martins and Mossman's mainly, but I got back on track about five
years ago when I picked up and fell in love with another Larrivee. I believe
this is still one of the best sounding guitars ever made. These guitars are
always even and tonally wonderful. Any book about Canadian guitars would
have to have a whole section on the craftsmanship of this builder and
artist. I'm done now....thanks  P.L.

Hi folks-
	One of my fondest Blue Skies memories was a workshop 2 years ago
entitled The Graf Guitar reunion. 14 Oskar Graf guitars on stage with
their proud owners including Magoo, Jason Fowler, Kevin Head, Roger
James, classical guitarist William Beauvais and the incomparable Don
Ross. Oskar told a story about each one's birth. Last year my wife gave
me an Oskar Graf guitar for my birthday. Funny thing though- I can't
seem to get mine to sound like Don Ross's. Think I'll have to talk to
Oskar about that.
