Hi Phil,

My husband is a huge guitar fan & player. I played your clip for him last night (which he loved); he asked me to ask you what kind of guitar you are playing. It looks similar to one of his gitars, an Ovation but not quite identical.

Take care.

    Thank You
    What I used then was my "El Cheapo" classical nylon string guitar. It's a no-name one, not very expensive. It does look a little like an Ovation. I do own an Ovation Custom Balladeer guitar that I got over 30 years ago. I have a total of 8 guitars (at the moment) and hope to buy lots more! I was playing the nylon one because of some nasty fingertip splitting that the Erbitux causes. It stinks because it puts a damper on things. Luckily this time around it's only affecting my right hand and not both like it has in the past.

    Playing is very therapeutic, I'm glad to hear your husband plays.
    Rock On!

    hubby plays too
    my husband (stage 3b) also plays guitar -- tho he hasn't really played since he took up disc golf -- i am hoping, now that he can't really do that during treatment/winter -- that he would take guitar back up and hopefully help with neuropathy, etc (were u able to play during tx?)

    what kind of music do u play? my husband is into progressive metal, though we are gonna have him start playing more classic rock (i hope)

    right now, we're holding our breaths on a possible job offer which is sorely needed
