That was really cool! He’s got great hair too. I actually liked the music piece and the guitar. I didn't look at his hair. One thing I don't worry about. I used to have thick dark brown hair down past my shoulders, so I've done that. I have learned that 99% of men will lose their hair if they live long enough. And women don't seem to care. Look at Jeff Bezos wife. |

Look at Jeff Bezos wife. Sure, it’s the piece and the guitar that I thought were cool. His hair was a side note. There’s a slightly different sound to it that I really liked. I have a cousin who is a very serious acoustic guitar player and naturally I’ve listened to a lot of it. This sounded different in a good way from the instrument standpoint, plus this guy plays well. |

No telling. I believe the piece is an arrangement of "Shenandoah," isn't it? |

I believe the piece is an arrangement of "Shenandoah," isn't it?So you are a musician Urb. I sort of suspected that (the talk of scale length and bracing are more evidence....). I was struck by the width of the neck. Martins still seem to feature that wide neck (as compared to the slightly smaller Gibson's neck). I found this information at a Trad Irish/Scottish site (The Session): " 'Wild Mountain Thyme' was composed by Francis McPeake, and first recorded in the 1950s. It is (loosely) based on the tune and lyrics of 'The Braes of Balquither' written by the famous Robert Tannahill (lyrics) and Robert Archibald Smith. The earlier song (Braes of Balquither) seems to be based on an old Scottish air called 'Balchoder' (Balquidder)." |

A lot of guys of my generation that went to Christian or liberal arts colleges in the 60s and 70s are excellent guitar players. Some of my friends were jaw-dropping good on those old Martins. A regular, quiet guy in church would get up to play at a party and blow everyone away. 2 of my Martin playing friends have gone to their rewards and the other has just been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Note that liberal arts colleges in the 60s weren't the same as today. |

His father, my uncle encouraged everyone to pick up an instrument and my cousin had already chosen the guitar, but it was when he was away at college he really got serious about it and got really good. He ended up playing as a stand in guitarist for a few major bands including Chicago, but gave up professional music to become a pastor. |

I have seen a congregation in shock after their minister of several years picks up a guitar and plays and sings Amazing Grace to the tune of The House of The Rising Sun. |

The wide neck on this one is at least partly because it has nylon strings.
I wonder if "Shenandoah" was based on those Irish tunes. It certainly shares some chord progressions.

I dunno, she looks kind of horse faced to me, and she doesn't look like a 38 billion dollar choice to me...but...he is a bonehead, a smart one but a bonehead nonetheless.   |

He kinda looks like he’s been slapped on one side of his head too many times in that picture. |
