Excellent Brother!!! :o) I think I can feel the breeze formed by the winds of positive change that are blowing now! I do appreciate the open invitation very much it sounds extremely gorgeous up there. Surrounding yourself with such beauty what a dream for me. I am happy to hear of your daughters successes and I wish many more blessings for you and yours that God will give. I am that person that John Reuter of the late "The Noodles" and I think current "Grateful Arizona" refers to as his very accomplished student. I graduated from Roberto-Venn (www.roberto-venn.com) with all their and Gods help and received my international certification as luthier guitar technician back in the Spring of 2000. I have only built 2 guitars one jumbo acoustic built from woods you can find growing in Oregon! Cloves come from the tree also known as pepperwood or myrtle (Umbellularia genus)- Rosewood family group- In California better known as the laurel. They tend to blend different species together locally around here too. I finally have some Osage Orange ready to and working currently on my new design prototypes. My first electric was made from "King Koa" it is a dream to play and the tone is simply second to none. African mahogany body and neck. Another couple of the seminar instructors that comes in to R. Venn School of Luthiery Rick Turner and Seymour Duncan have teemed up and designed the "D Tar" acoustic preamplification of sorts to die for. I installed Seymours classic live wires and absolutely love em. 18 volts of the cleanest power I have ever found. A couple of months ago I jammed with and hosted in my partially flooded basement "The" one and only Johny Barbata of The Turtles, Joel Scott Hill Trio, Jefferson Airplane, Sammy Hagar etc. etc.... He wants me to come down and record with him in his new studio in Oklahoma when things settle down for him. His wife has very serious sclerosis of the liver and he is healing her up with Native American healing herbs with great results. I fed him some organic eggs I cooked up quickly and he was off to his booksigning at Kutz Music here by my house in Pittsburg Kansas. It was such a pleasure having him and Joel "Truman" Scott Hill come down. Back to John Reuter and William Eaton they are or may have already completed the designing and building of "The Jerrycaster" cocobolo dreams by the way he describes it! I have met the keyboardist for the late Garcia and heard him play live jammin around with my fellow students in Johns band. He seemed like a very kind soul and I had a very powerful but painful vision that he could of been a large cause of. They do call that area and more of around Sedona Arizona "The Vortex" It is very positive I can assure you as my experiences were incredible despite my near death experiences and doctor saying back then you need to get rid of this stress. "If you do not you are on the verge of a heart attack" She was my doctor and chiropractor that really snapped me out of it so to speak. God bless Janet Judge and her practice! Well not trying to be so long winded but I am glad to hear of you and your daughters recent successes for sure keep in touch my family members are up in Bend Oregon too. I sure would love to have a big ol mess of them organic blueberries I eat them like constantly and my God parents live in Holland Michigan where blueberries are big business as well. I love pickin em right off the bush and poppin em in. Man ol mighty I am gonna go check out your webpage sites now. Take care and true joyful Peace B With You and Yours!!!
