Many thanks to the good citizens of Springfield, Vermont, and the surrounding area who came to hear me read from my book Guitar: An American Life and speak on “How the Guitar Conquered America.”

Great attendance, good questions, interesting observations, and I found out when Gibson introduced its first truss rods.

Not to mention that I got to play my version of Billie Holiday’s “God Bless’ the Child.”

Who could ask for more?

By and large, I’m really grateful for the way Grove Atlantic published my book Guitar: An American Life. One of my few regrets is that we couldn’t include color photographs of the finished guitar. So here we go…

Rick Davis, yours truly, and the wonderful guitar he built for me.

I thought I’d also post a link to a really nice interview by Matt Richter of Gear For Guitar. It shows, as always, that a good interview has far more to do with the interviewer than the subject. Check it out by clicking here.
