This is a 1934 Gibson L-50, a guitar I first heard in Louisiana playing Cajun music brilliantly. I asked my friend who owned it if I might see it, and it sounded more like Robert Johnson’s recordings than any guitar I’d ever played. I asked for first crack at buying it if she ever decided to sell it. The instrument was given a second life by Harry Becker, an amazing friend and brilliantly inventive guitar repairman. It is very handsome, isn’t it?
Always great to hear you, Sensei. I look forward to exploring these interstitial licks. ❤
Jay, how I love that you use the word 'interstitial.' LIke 'interdigitated' these are elegant words that neatly communicate complex ideas
@@scottainslie it’s what words are for, right? Thank you. :-)
Indeed!

Beautiful guitar! Can you tell us what you've got there?
