Apologies to Mick Stevens, and all religions. And kudos to Burkhard Bilger for writing such a kick-ass piece about visionary guitar builders. I was in Wolcott, Vermont, or thereabouts, yesterday and saw a sign for a custom guitar shop; I wonder if that guy knows Ken Parker, the subject of Bilger’s profile (not a Profile, I know, but it’s kind of a profile anyway)?
Here’s the original cartoon to which I refer in my Photoshop adulteration there. Wasn’t it in the magazine just a few months ago rather than in 1999, or am I confusing dates and times again? It does happen.
