I collaborated with other prominent Maine luthiers in the creation of the 'Maine State Guitar' which was built for the 'Player's Art: Guitar Exhibition [May 7- July 17, 2005] at the Colby College Museum of Art in Waterville, Maine.

Martin Simpson test driving my Red Spruce OM in Marblehead, MA.    After 13 years of being inspired by Martin's guitar playing and choice of instruments, it was an absolute honor to have him play my guitar and to hear him say that is was,     "beautifully made" and a "lovely guitar"!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Peter Finger performing at Pantheon Guitars.  Peter is a dear friend of mine and was the first person I called to perform at the 'Source Guitar Festival'.

Peter is one of the most magical composer/guitar players alive today!

In June 2004 I helped organize the 'Source Guitar Festival' in Lewiston, Maine.  Organizing the festival gave me the opportunity to book some of my favorite guitarist.  Celtic fingerstyle guitarist Steve Baughman was on the top of my list.
