Thanks for posting.Having recently been to one of his concerts, I have very high regard for his music, but even more so for him as a person.
He’s also probably the finest acoustic guitarist I’ve heard.

I just listened to this during my lunch time. I love what he says about how some instruments have a few songs in them and then it is time to let them go and explore something else. It is wonderful to hear him talk about his relationship with luthier Stefan Sobell and his continue search for what tone excites him and fits him best. He says that Stefan's guitars sound like him - Martin. He really captures a lot of both the practical and the more indescribable reasons that guitar players seek custom instruments. Thanks for posting this.

Best,
Jayne
