Truly a treasure of a memory, thank you! I also wrote several stories about you and Woodsongs in KY Living and The Lane Report. I'm delighted to see you're still out there making music and making a difference in the world, though I'd assumed you would be!<br />A question for you - I've been playing my dad's guitar since he gave it to me just before he passed away back in 1973. Unfortunately, I've stopped playing for the same reason he did...finger joint issues. It's a lovely guitar and I'd like to find a home for it with someone who will play it and love it.<br />Several years ago, I had it appraised on Antiques Roadshow when I volunteered for the show for a day in Myrtle Beach. The appraiser, who owns a guitar shop in Kansas City, loved it. The guitar is a Gibson LG2 47 Sunburst that's in 90 - 95% condition (It was born the same year I was...I get that!) and is in its original guitar case with Dad's capo.<br />My question - Do you know of anyone who might be interested in this guitar? I have photos I can send if you'd like to take a look at it. This is definitely a yes or no, Michael, but I'd appreciate any thoughts you might have on it. <br />My best to you, Katherine (Kathy, back then!)

I think your son would always wear a WoodSongs emblem to honor you. Or maybe his grandfather's Bronze Star.Manuel Bettencourtnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16803483.post-57391091778071278602016-01-25T14:04:20.292-05:002016-01-25T14:04:20.292-05:00Thanks for sharing Michael Thanks for sharing Michael Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02563922332231804456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16803483.post-62493956068961673842016-01-25T14:04:02.670-05:002016-01-25T14:04:02.670-05:00Thanks for sharing that Michael Thanks for sharing that Michael Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02563922332231804456noreply@blogger.com
