Had the same thing happen to my Martin D 28 which I have had since 1965. It was made in 1962. WestJet did the damage (the baggage handlers they employ), and thanks to one of their 'higher-up' employees the guitar was repaired at no cost to me by the airline. There's airlines and there's airlines. FWIW.

I'd suggest you oughta write a song about it too, but the happy ending makes it difficult.

Maybe you could have your woman get so jealous of the replacement guitar's place in your life that she shoots your fingers off and leaves you?

Try to hear Madeleine Peyroux's 'Don't Pick a Fight With a Poet.'

United Airlines may have learned that.

I've had problems with many airlines and I'm now down to two. Virgin Atlantic and Air Canada.

The worst of the worst? RYAN. If I ever go to Ireland again it will be by ferry.
