This is a new guitar to me. I was looking for another guitar that I could experiment with alternative tunings, particularly DADGAD. I came across this guitar at the tavern I frequent and played at on St Paddy's day. The Owner of Jim's Restaraunt (AKA Shady Eye Saloon) was a friend of Bruce Fletcher who died of cancer several years back. Jim purchased this guitar at a benefit for Bruce and has had it in the office of the bar ever since. It has a few minor dings, but was really never played. I actually took the plastic off the pick guard. Jim sold it to me at a very reasonable price and told me a bit about Bruce. I felt obliged to do a little song for his memory - even though we never met, I came across this guitar through him. What I was told about this fellow is that he was a kind fun loving man. I think he would have liked this song - particularly that he knew his time was coming. Thanks for listening! (sorry for the pained look on my face, this is at the high end of my range)
