Local magazine featuring my husband who has metastatic Gleason 9 prostate cancer

33. Damn, you've got a good eye! Exactly right! D-28 leftie.

1969.

He gave that guitar to a luthier/friend/fellow musician for some repairs one time and didn't see it again for 25 years. I wish you could hear him tell the story.

I know it's hard to believe, but he let it go on far longer than he should have (he'd gotten into playing his special order leftie Taylor), but when he finally began asking for the Martin back, the guy just kept saying he wasn't finished with the repairs.

In the end, it was discovered in in pieces, in a ratty bag under a sink in the basement of the music shop where luthier used to work! Fortunately, when the teenage boys who'd been hired to clean out the basement were smart enough not to throw it in the dumpster, another friend who worked there recognized it as Kenny's guitar!
