Thanks, guys!
Steve, good job and nice song selection. What kind of black Taylor were you playing?
It was actually a deep blue Maple jumbo. It was a custom job, but back before the days of "Build To Order".
Some years back, Taylor used to hold what was known as "Taylor Night". We had a pretty nice performance venue in one of the buildings; stage, lights, pro sound the whole nine yards. A lot of the Taylor videos were done there. It's where Kenny Loggins played for 100 of us for Taylor's 30th Anniversary and where Taylor Swift had her "Fearless" album release.
Anyway, you'd sign up to play, and at least one member of your group (if you weren't a solo act) had to be a Taylor employee. Kevin is the bass player from my old band, and Marklyn (the guy to my right) is a long-time friend from the days of another guitar forum...
