The wife has been in rehab for the last 5 weeks and I'm bringing her home today. My employer switched insurance carriers on July first so we had an unexpected $5,000 extra charge for the "new" family deductible. It's going to be bit weird with her back - it got nice having no drama for over a month. hopefully this time it will work.
Meanwhile, I spent Friday afternoon with Charlie Karp in his studio working on the next song we are going to record. We though we had it until he asked me to play a few others. when I finished one he said - "That's the one"! He really dug it!
Charlie is a pretty cool guy. He has a small-bodied acoustic and he finally told me the story behind it. It was made by a guy who worked for Martin, but builds a few on the side. There were two made of that particular model - Charlie got one - Keith Richards got the other!
