here’s hoping my Alaskan Yellow Cedar guitar is not one of those momentary
things.

There is a fellow who has gotten a name for himself building copies of 10-20’s
guitars that were mostly used by early blues players:

My daughter the blues player introduced me to him and he has been very helpful
and generous with questions I have.  He had a fellow order a guitar and said he
wanted the top to be as thin and lightly braced as possible to give more
response.  He said he didn't care if he had to put a new top on it every couple
of years, he wanted the response.  My daughter had it in for repair at about a
year old - one of the braces had come loose.  The owner knew the repair was his
responsibility and he didn’t care because he dearly loved the guitar.  I got a
chance to spend a few minutes with it and it was VERY LOUD and very responsive.

For a pleasant few minutes, read the blog about Lonnie Johnson at the upper
right of the web site.  This man is a galoot for sure.
