Wow, Wow, Wow. John Creech is an incredible talent. Click his myspace above to hear some killer guitar playing. As one person said on his myspace: "your music is soothing and heavenly". This is our own: Pharmboycu. Have you heard him? Great, just great, Bruce

I should also mention that John will be flying out to Healdsburg to play both the guitar that he has from me, as well as some that I am taking to the Healdsburg Guitar Festival.

Of course this is all dependant on me getting one of the coveted "showcase" spots, which are assigned on a first come first serve phone call basis.

Thank you all very much for your kind words. The "Shenandoah Suite" on my site is recorded with Lance's E2, and I owe a LOT to Lance for an exquisite instrument. It was recorded live (the increased speed of this performace is due to nerves) with no eq straight through the house P.A.. That instrument *WILL* be at Healdsburg.

I guess this is an official announcement too then that this instrument will be featured on an upcoming release from Michael Jeans of Oregon. I'll be flying out in July for the recording session(s).

I can hardly wait until the next Kragenbrink guitar is in the house. :-) This next one is gonna be a killer for sure!!!

John

Any relation to the Creech family in Greensboro, NC? I knew them growing up.

Great guitar playing indeed. I see that Tony Rice is one of your friends on MySpace. You and he have the same feel on the guitar.

Thank you again! I am honestly just glad I could befriend the group that helped make my instrument a possibility and share a recording or two with you all. I hope there will be lots more soon. :-)

I can't help feeling that I might be getting more credit than I deserve here... hahaha...

Bob, it's funny you say that... you aren't the first person to say that the instrument and me have a special connection.

I'll tell you what I really believe it is... Lance and I took a different approach to designing this one. We literally listened to the wood tell us what it wanted to be. (I think Lance will concurr.) In this case, I believe whole heartedly that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts, and as a dear friend of mine said, "that guitar is ALIVE."

You just wait for the next Kragenbrink guitar... it's gonna knock your socks off!!!!! (Too bad there's not an emoticon for "chomping at the bit.")
