	wesrichards says: 11/24/2013 3:21:52 PM Me thinks that was taken in about 1960, give or take, in New York's Washington Square Park.
	pastorharry says: 11/24/2013 3:35:42 PM From the looks of the fretboard color difference between the first 3 frets and the rest,looks to be an early add on extension, possibly D'angelico ?
	mainejohn says: 11/24/2013 3:36:30 PM Very cool! A classic photo that belongs in the annals of any longneck aficiando!

	wesrichards says: 11/24/2013 3:40:36 PM @Harry: D'Angelico was already in ill health in those days and wasn't doing much specialty work. He and Jimmy D'Aquisto were focused on getting the orders out for his archtop guitars. He had stopped making mandolins entirely by then and mine was probably the last from-scratch long neck he made. He didn't finish it. I took it to Noah Wulfe for that. It looks like Pete Seegers, but is made of mahogany not ironwood. Noah could have done this one and so could Pietro Carboni.

	Old Gray Coat Linked by Bluesage 8 months ago: My first attempt at working out this great Tony Rice composition on the open long neck. It lays our pretty well!

MP3: What Would The Prophets Say? Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: The religious basis of authority in the Middle East (or anywhere for that matter) is the source of a lot of suffering and is unsustainable. The violence is mostly perpetrated on women and children.
MP3: You'll Never Leave Texas Alive Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: A sad murder ballad of a sort. Some murderers wear nice clothes and use pens and paper to kill and never see their victims.
MP3: Ten Years On Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: A lament, written for the 10th anniversary of the Sandy Hook school shooting. Sadly there are still parents who are irresponsible or foolish, and parents who suffer as a result.
MP3: Shutdown The System Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: The pursuit of money is alienating, enervating, and exhausting. Here’s a song of resistance to finance capitalism.
MP3: Take The Wheel Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: A song about mentorship, inspired by my mentor and HIS mentors too, that takes the form of the story of a ship’s mate being “shown the ropes”. The old sea captain may also have been a long-neck player
MP3: The Leatherwing Bat Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago
MP3: Old Rosin The Beau Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago
MP3: Deep Elm Blues Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago
