I remember thinking it was a good name for a guitar player! I have done a search and cannot find it and looking to send a PM he does not seem to be a 'cat member. Why? Well, I'm no guitarist but I was browsing through the stock in a music shop I had not frequented before when I canme across a guitar tutor by... You guessed it. Martin Taylor! So. Are you there Martin? Is it your book? Anyone care? ;-) Cheers DtG |

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? Bruce |

From: Roger the Skiffler Well, Martin's my middle name as it was my grandmother's maiden surname, no guitarists in the family, though a couple of professional pianists and my grandfather (on the other side) played banjo & mandolin when they weren't in pawn.

From: Bill D hmm..Martin is MY mother's maiden name, and I also was given it as a middle name...and I don't think anyone in my family ever TOUCHED a guitar...but I sure wish I was related to the guitar Martins! (I have this silly line running thru my head... "Martin said to his Martin, fie, axe, fie. Martin said to his Martin, who's the tool now?") |
