Oskar's just zis guy, you know? Lives in the woods near me. Has about a thousand hippies in his back pasture the first weekend in August for something called "Blue Skies".

Oskar is the quintessential one-man shop, which is probably why he's not better known. Builds two or three dozen a year, period. Knows his trade, and his market, and just doesn't want for much he hasn't already got. Were he more famous in the States, I bet Yankee carpetbaggers would be snapping 'em all up...

I can't get that web page to load, although the link works. When I was at Oskar's last week he was updating the website for the first time in a long time, so I guess I'll ask him what's up when I get my guitar back from him this week...
