Big thanks to Michael Watts for shooting the video! It was a great pleasure to finally meet you after all these years!



Regards,

Beautiful playing, Howard, and I love that guitar, Thanks!

Maybe Ty could get someone of Anthony’s or Julian Lage’s stature to make a recording showcasing each of the Blue Guitars. That would be an irreplaceable record of their voices.
You can find around 100 or so recordings on YouTube looking up the Archtop Foundation's channel, which you can find by simply typing "TheBlueGuitar". Or go the overall website, https://theblueguitars.com/videos/, to sort by luthier or by the performer.
