"I have been enchanted and intrigued by the beauty and sound of acoustic guitars since the tender age of 13.  I grew up in the era of the great singer-songwriters and blues players of the 60s and 70s, and having broken my sister's cheap classical guitar by stringing it up with steel strings to make it sound like Ralph McTell, I soon learned that a guitar was a delicate instrument that needed to be caressed and understood...and I have been pursuing that notion ever since..."
