The ten tiles of the Endangered Alphabets Board Game, just needing a few coats of finish and a professional photo shoot. These tiles, each 10″x12″, are for exhibition; the aim is to use them as a springboard to raise $5,000 to make alphabet board games in endangered languages for indigenous schoolchildren in Bangladesh. Watch out for our Kickstarter, coming soon.

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?
