your wife at your place, when it wouldn't have been safe at his ALF.

And I'm glad you were able to get a good price for it...and that you really enjoyed seeing Chicago Music Exchange. Sounds like an incredible store.

I'd mentioned it here a few years ago, but that was because of an impressive guitarist, a Chicago session musician, who worked there then. Nathaniel Murphy. See

If I'd had any idea you'd be going there, I'd've mentioned that old thread to you in case he's still working there. And maybe you ran into him anyway.

Just did some quick googling and he was still.working for or with the store last year...and here's video of him from 7 months ago playing Led Zeppelin's No Quarter on a 1959 Les Paul they keep in the Vault. Is this the one you saw?




Btw, while I was trying to find my old message about him working at that store, I found this thread

where you mentioned in reply 14 that you were thinking last November of going to that store, and that you might buy a resonator after you sold the Martin. Is that still the plan?
