Boy do I wish I had a copy of the out of print, unpurchasable article Meet Greg Smallman from American Lutherie #8. Yep, I sure do.

Yours hopefully,

Jim Kirby

No Tony, They didn't put the "meet the makers" in the big books. I was going to copy it for Jim but it wasn't there.

They do put the Meet the Makers in teh BRB's, but Tim Olsen tells me that a dispute erupted between Greg Smallman and the author of the article, so they sidestepped the issue by not reprinting it.

I think someone may be taking care of me - pending checking that he does have AL 8. Thanks for looking.

Jim
