HA! Kendall, I remember I was at an open mike once listening to a foursome. I loved the rich, balanced sound of the guitars and I said into my brother's ear, At least a couple of those have to be Martins. Turned out all four were. Ah, heaven...

One of the guys said he's just saving up to get a D41, so you can see this was a while ago but I still love that Martin sound. I have a Martin- one of those years that isn't supposed to be all that good but it is! It's a '71 D35 S and I love it. AND Merle Travis played it in 1973- I have a photo to prove it. AND he liked it . So there.
