NEWS ALERT! Steve's guitar-like Alaskan instrument has been stolen! If anyone sees it please let me know here or by e-mail. It is shaped sort of like half of a kayak, with a whale-rib neck and strings made of an organic material, probably gut. It was taken while Steve was loading in his equipment at a free concert he was doing for the South Carolina Commission on the Unfortunate here in Columbia. This guy doesn't deserve a knock like this and the thing will probably end up as a wall decoration anyway, maybe at a chain restaurant. Thanks in advance for any help.
