Elliott, the illustrator behind the famed armadillo cover of Leo Kottke's 6 & 12 String Guitar album; the shopping habits of guitarist Robert Quine; a visit to Rudy Pensa of Rudy's Music fame; guitars from the 1800s; singer-songwriter Margaret Glaspy; and so much more. 

Our 54th edition has a bit of everything: Odes to New York’s guitar scene; tributes to beautiful guitar places; a bluegrass legend, inspiring singer-songwriters, the restoration of one of Johnny Cash’s Martins, 1800s-era guitars, and all points in-between.
