Default It's been 3 years....

It's been 3 years since we lost one of the finest builders I've ever had the pleasure to meet. I still miss Kevin Gallagher. I don't know why, but I was thinking about him last night and realized it's been 3 years, I think, today. Odd, how that happens (or maybe not so odd).
I hope you're in a better place, my friend*

This one is mine, and it will be till it's my turn to leave the big stage. It's a treasure.

I remember seeing that one with the flower inlay at Kevin's house one day. I was there with Eric. I also had my McKnight & my Fay prototype with me. We were having a grand old time passing a bunch of real good ones around. THAT was a great day*

I had a look via search and he's not posted here for a while. He's very young, I imagine 22 now?

He has a FB page, which hasn't been updated for a while.

What a great day that was!

Kevin was a great friend and I always felt at home when visiting him and his family.

My favorite guitar is still my Omega braz/cedar creation MJ. I'm out of town now, but will post pics soon!
