Yes, Martin Gibson is the 'Catter's name. Martin Taylor is a great jazz guitarist who usually can be found playing not a Martin, nor a Taylor, but an archtop jazz box like a D'Angelico, Benedetto, or THIS Gibson Super 400 that he played on David Grisman's "Tone Poems" CD.

I've often wondered why so many musicians are named Martin. It's not an uncommon name by any means, but it seems that the percentage of Martins in the music biz is much higher than it is in, say, accounting. Did lots of dads name their firstborn sons after their favorite old D-18's?
