Steve Frank commented on James Sennett's group Martin Owners"I agree with Ken....it amazes me, and I know just a couple people who, like you, no matter how much they have on their plate, seem to be always taking on new projects. It's definitely a big part organizational skills, along with a love for what…"

Edward Sparks commented on James Sennett's group Martin Owners"It is...I am working on two books right now and I got this midi guitar and so I have been so engrossed in using it in my studio that all else is falling out of mind! It's crazy to get so involve that nothing gets completed or takes forever! My…"
Steve Frank commented on James Sennett's group Martin Owners"Here's a closeup of the fret inlays. I noticed it was starting to dry out, or had, so I used some "Fret doctor" after a lot of research, which is bore oil, and it seems to be much better now, but I didn't have time to take pics.…"
Steve Frank commented on James Sennett's group Martin Owners"Here is what it looks like today. I don't know how to use the Mac photo editor the way I did on my PC, which is retired, so I opened them side by side and took a screen shot. Might have to click on the image to get the entire shot. I'll…"

Steve Frank commented on James Sennett's group Martin Owners"Hi Ed, It's one of those things I want to but don't want to. I play it, but it really should be in a collector's hands, and possibly restored to what it was made for, catgut. I did post some pics somewhere, but believe they were…"

Steve Frank commented on James Sennett's group Martin Owners"Some beater!! I'm actually going to be listing this little parlor Lyon and Healy, but with no cracks, aside from somebody one time putting steel strings on it and yanking the bridge off and then screwing it back it, I think it plays pretty…"

- Hey Jim,
I know you like (as do I) Dan Fogelberg...do you play one of his called "Make Love Stay?" The original on the album was from the 80's and it is pretty upbeat...but his live versions were much more mellow and slower...beautiful really. There is a live DVD he has out that is really incredible, but the best part in my opinion is the acoustic set he does in the middle of it...really great. He even does a fingerpicked blues tuine that he plays slide on...not typical Fogelberg! It is called
"Dan Fogelberg Live: Greetings from tthe West
and there is also a CD audio version of the best of it. If you haven't seen it, it is a must have!
Dan Fogelberg Live: Greetings From The West
Released October 1991 by Epic Records. It was recorded live at the Fox Theatre in St. Louis, Missouri on June 25, 1991. Greetings From The West is also available as a full length Sony Music video and DVD.
