I am honoured and excited to have been interviewed for the first edition of MusiCurated, The Classical Guitar Magazine ! The editor, Benjamin Lahring, has managed to assemble an astonishing number of compelling articles from the illuminati and heroes of the Canadian classical guitar scene - Liona Boyd, Patrick Roux, Emma Rush, Brad Werner - and many others.

The first edition is available as a digital or physical copy, or as part of an annual (6-issue) subscription:

A weird coincidence - another hide glue failure has come into my shop; this is the 4th in under a year. It's a 20-year old small scale guitar from Mexico (Cocobolo fretboard ! ). The other 3 were from BC. This one has probably made several children very happy over the years...
