Last April 15th I ordered a limited edition carbon-fiber travel guitar called a Blackbird.
Only fifty of these babies were being made.
Mine arrived today.
Mine is number seven of the fifty.
It took over six months to get here.
As you can tell by the look on my face, I’m pretty pleased with my little Blackbird guitar.
Why aren’t I upset that it took six months to be made?
After all, when I was at the Panoz Auto place last June, I saw how carbon-fiber products are made.
It doesn’t take six months.
The reason I wasn’t upset is that Joe Luttwak, chief musical officer for Blackbird guitars, stayed in constant contact with me.
He sent me emails letting me know what was happening and why.
This constant contact comforted me.
I patiently awaited the arrival of my Blackbird.
And it landed today.
And oh, can it sing!
Ao Akua,
Joe

PPS – The T-shirt I’m wearing in the above picture is not of Mickey Mouse. What looks like large mouse ears are heavy weights on a bending barbell. The shirt says “One More Rep.” When I work-out, it’s my motto.

Hey Joe! Why not bring it along to Unseminar 4 and jam with Pat?

Great idea! See you there!

Joe, Just want you to know how much you have influenced me — and you don’t even know me! What a powerful thing that is — to influence people for good that you do not even know! I am thankful for you! Because of your e-mail one day, I purchased the Portable Empire book and am taking the on line course. I am learning so much, now have a blog, building a website, learning and growing! Thank you! I am totally amazed at my own progress! 🙂
That is a real beauty Joe, congratulations!!!!!:smile:
Why don´t you play something and Nerissa can put in on line in a video for all of us to listen to you playing and singing? Please!
I haven’t moved into singing for anyone but a cat, but I have thought about letting Nerissa film me playing. Also, I think there are still some youtube videos out there of me playing the harmonica with Pat O’Bryan on guitar.
