Hi Hugh,
I started with a Breedlove Atlas, which was a decent quality guitar, $750 or so, and still play it frequently. I use it for my travel guitar and for friends if we're getting together and need an extra instrument. Concert size with a fast,...

hello Jim, sure hope you are doing great and enjoying every day my friend! I appreciate you kind words on my channel. Hope your summer was terrific and, now as here in KY we are seeing fall around the corner, you are enjoying the change of seasons and events it brings. Your channel is just great - the pics alone make every visit a treat! Take care of yourself - your friend,

Hi Jim,
Good to hear from you! Looks like you had a good time out west. I've been keeping up with my lessons but I could use more practice time. As far as meeting up with you my schedule is kind of tight for Sept.

Hi Jim,
No, no relation to Dana Clark. Except for rare shows with "Blue Feather, Dunalp and Henke" everything I do is solo.
For about the next year I'll be mainly playing Northeast OH quite a bit. I am headed West in a week and a half for shows in IL, MO and KS.
My most up to date shedule info is at www.myspace.com/brianhenkeguitar . I also have a "regular" site but, since I can't add to it myself yet it's usually not so up to date.
Jim!
Glad to hear that the Kim Simmonds show was good, I've been meaning to get one of his acoustic cds. Thanks for the info on the other artists, I'll have to look them up.
Hi Jim, I'm still here and as busy as every working on my web site archtopguitarsandbooks.com I have gone international with my books but mostly for other countries other than the U.S. I am also working on my unusual archtop parts page at the moment and hope to have more things on there soon. Guitars sales are moving along quite well considering the recession. I picked up and old white Nardan from the sixties (not original but it looks a million dollars and better looking than a white Falcon) It has a V neck like some of the early ovations, which really surprised me, but it does not bother me but I know it would bother others. Anyway, I have uploaded a photo ans hope it works. Speak to you soon.
James - Thanks for your comment! My archtop is an Ibanez AF120. It's an older model that had the same pickups as the Benson model but a lower price tag. Unfortunately it's no longer in production; it was a good mid-price guitar and was much better than the current Artcore line Ibanez is pushing,
hello Jim - hope you ae doing well these day my friend! your pictures take me to places i'd love to go and may never get the chance.....just wonderful. i hope you are enjoying the great outdoors some these days. Here in KY it is cold and we've had our share of ice.....i'm so ready for spring and long days and fishing rods and guitar on the deck! Hope everyday is good for you sir,
