It’s the cool touch of butter-bean tuners on a
misty morning. The sweet scent of freshly sawn
spruce, the first waft of varnish on New Guitar
Day. The sound of steel strings slapping against
a well-worn flattop as the mystery train goes
rolling down that lonesome track.
It’s falling asleep on the dusty ground in the
glow of a summer campfire at Lark Camp while
Celtic airs echo in the treetops of the majestic
Mendocino National Forest. It’s Elvis, the Beatles,
the Stones. It’s Doc Watson and Dave Van Ronk.
It’s John Fogerty’s “Green River” ringing in your
ears. It’s the wonder of Kaki King’s precise
playing, Xavier Rudd’s spirit songs, and Eric Bibb’s
soulful blues.
It’s a thousand Djangos serving manouche in a
Hot Club, the crystalline chime of a vintage
12-string, the timeless continuum of folk music,
from John Renbourn’s medieval guitar works to
the Milk Carton Kids. It’s the clink of glasses in a
darkened café while Peter Rowan and Ramblin’
Jack take you back to some mythic space.
It’s Mumford and Sons playing “The Ghost of
Tom Joad” on a low-res YouTube video. Tradition
passed down from Woody to Bob to Bruce to the
Tallest Man on Earth to some guy or gal navigat-
ing a cheap pawn shop guitar and building their
first callus.
It’s the comfort of the front porch, the brother-
hood and sisterhood of pickers, pluckers, finger-
stylists, and strummers.
The circle unbroken.
It’s the many ways to play, create, and grow, to
strive and to thrive while embracing a dream
machine made of a few pounds of wood and steel.
Enjoy the newly redesigned Acoustic Guitar as
the publication begins its 25th anniversary year.
