Finally found who plays a guitar with off center fret inlays like your dad’s guitar. Larry Graff of Painted Mandolin plays one. He’s a local Dylanologist too.

It wasn’t really research. I pretty much go to the same ten bands. It was bound to show up and I’d realize it if my mind was wandering that way during a song. I will continue my research til funding dries up though.

Yes isn't that wild. I remember the Millennium so clearly, it doesn't feel that long ago! A very Happy New Year to you and thanks again for making it to our Christmas show, it was lovely to have you there.

Happy 2025 Lail 🎉 I hope this will be a wonderful year for you and your family ✨😍

Please I have a question regarding the lyrics for "Mary's Song" 🙏

Is it "we'll make a village of this town" or "we'll make a village OFF this town"?

Thank you and have a lovely Sunday 🤗🌼

Hello!

The lyric is “of” - but off would work too…

Thank you for reading and listening, and wishing you a very happy year ahead too!
