Markk: Yep. He is still a friend of mine but it’s hard to not think of it every now and then. You should read this post:

Wow! Your friend sat on a 1920 Martin Parlour and crushed it! That must be one real cool situation. Have they ever written about you in Acoustic Guitar magazine?

Markk: I have made every type of guitar except a hollow bodied jazz arch-top. Building one of those is much like building a violin. I once owned a Martin parlor guitar built in the 1920’s. A good friend of mine fell on it, busting it into pieces! I couldn’t hold it against him, he was my friend. I’ll come by

hey, i didn’t know you’re a guitar freak. It’s wonderful to know you’re a luthier. Guess you’re one guy who’s multi-talented. Do you make electric or acoustic guitars, or both? I love acoustic guitars. Used to own a Martin, Ovation and some. But right now, I’m just keeping a Seagull Mahogany Folk (beautiful tone) and a Spanish classical, Esteve. Sorry, I don’t read notes and all that, but I write some lyrics for my own pleasure. Humoured myself when I did a parody lyrics of “Ramblin’ Man” for John Cow and called it “Ramblin’ Cow”. You can read it at Commonsense with Markk. Thanks.
