This is not a Martin, its a Euphonon guitar, built by the Larsons in
Chicago.

Thanks...I will keep a look out for one in the next however many I can
sit through.

<<< I just finished watching a 45-minute, 1940 movie about a fiesta --
Hollywood style. Not much of a story but good music...only all but two
"stars" were lip-syncing and only three guys were doing their own
playing and singing. This was supposed to have been deep in old Mexico
during the Hacienda era. I never saw such clean, well-dressed peons in
my life.
One of the good trio was playing a Martin, another was playing a small
sunburst Gibson, and the third was playing a 3/4-size guitar. They
sounded good; the other people sounded funny. >>>

Ken, you tease us... What was the name of the film?

You think I am teasing you? Try figuring out which of 50 musicals you
feel like watching when the stars are such big names as Anne Ayars and
it is listed in B&W, but when it starts it is in early
construction-paper-Technicolor...that is teasing.

This movie about a fiesta has the imaginative name of, get ready,
"Fiesta". <g> It was directed by Hal Roach (him, I know) in 1941.

Just for the heck of it, I wanted to see if just that movie could be
had. It can. For $1.99 it can be downloaded and since it is only 45
minutes long, that shouldn't take forever.

You even get to download a DVD jewel box cover and info ***. I
recommend this movie to anybody who wants to relax, see pretty
costumes, hear good music, watch a little slap stick and good dancing,
make fun of the plot, wonder at the small set, and unless you are so
incredibly infected with PC, you will have a lot of laughs and not be
offended at any time.

This is simply a good movie for 2006.

One of the funnier lines is when a big guy with the worst Mexican
accent imaginable leaves, and the owner of the ranch leans over to his
friend and asked, "Do you think he is Mexican?" <g>

Buy it. Make copies. Give them to your friends for Christmas and
Good Cheer!
