Vibes for my wife's uncle...

Post by bjornolf » January 9th, 2011, 1:03 pm

Poor guy. He loses his wife, who was only in her 50s, to Alzheimer's, and now his house burns down. At least he saved his guitar. He plays in a band called "Wanda and the White Boys." They're pretty good.

One of his Martins? Wow! Sad to hear, Bjorn. I wish him the best of a recovery. Was he insured?

The dude's a professional musician. After the smoke cleared, they found that most of his guitars, other Martins and some Gibsons, were okay. His two cats died, though. They were his wife's cats, so he's pretty broken up about that.
