One of my friends and customers sent me these pictures this morning. This is John Creech Jr, playing his Redwood Rosewood Kragenbrink E2.

Talk about an inspiring place to play!
He lives in Fayetteville NC, and tells me this was taken in February. We were still buried in snow here in Michigan!

Much like our own Bill Greene, John has wet his appetite for guitar making. He is on the waiting list for ASL 2007 classes.

Dave, your the second person that has asked me that question. Truthfuly, I dont know, but I dont think so, if he is, he has never mentioned it to me. Maybe ill shoot John and email and ask

EDIT -------- Google is great!
Im positive he is not related to Papa John Creech.

Can any one name the band Papa John was most well know for playing with?


I guess I should qualify this with "the rock band" that he was most well known for playing with.MichaelP38874.4555208333

Heck he played with several but was best known in the rock world for his touring and albums with Jefferson Airplane. I also believe he appeared on a couple albums with Nitty Gritty Dirt Band but my mind could be playing tricks on me here. Those days are not as clear as they should be MichaelP38874.5390277778

Yeah, especially if everything other than the guitar was in grey scale, and there was no reflection on the guitar. Hello Photoshop!PaulB38875.3580671296
