Our own Derek Cullimore visited the Taylor Guitar factory a few weeks ago, where he hand selected (with the help of Bob Taylor) some extraordinary sets of wood for 2 custom built-to-order Taylors!

"Struth!" I exclaimed in my finest Aussie accent, as Kevin opened up the guitar case. There was great joy and leaping about in receiving that day, the day that will always be remembered as the day the Car Talk Special arrived.

We hope you were there, because if you missed it these photos will set you seething with envy. "I missed a party like THAT just to play golf?" Or, "Maybe having Aunt Martha drop me from her will for missing her birthday would have been worth it to see Kathy & Carol up close." The folks who did show up were treated to a steady stream of great live music, boosted just enough by an excellent sound system (thanks to Brian for running the board).
