I used to have a Gibson Hummingbird. Ma bought it for me on my 18th birthday. It met an untimely end in the back of a transit van , when a PA speaker fell on it....I only had a soft case for it!! My sister baled me out..I was strapped for cash....and lent me £40 . With it I bought an Eko 6 string (a tough little number). That was back in 1984...I still use it to this day, it still sounds great! More recently I bought a very flash looking Crafter. Dark blue, cut away ,semi acoustic..looks great,sounds great, but it has no soul. I always run back to my Eko. Oh yeah ..and as Katlaughing might remember,I just got back together with me aul' Dulcimer (Appalachian)after 5 years....Having a whale of a time with it now. I think I should get out more!! Oiche mhaith! Mal.
