Yup! That's Marty (top photo) and he still looks exactly the same - never ages. He is also a very good guitar player. When The Podium was in business, I used to play some of my solo fingerstyle arrangements for him to critique. He always has good ideas for making it better.

I see you had one of his string winders too. He also makes case humidifiers, which I always use. I have one or two of his string winders, but never really got into using them. I still wind the strings by hand for some reason.

Yes, always the kramster! As I recall, you are quite the creative keyboard player too - even dropped an electronic keyboard into a baby grand cabinet.
