I met a neighbor in town the other day, we got to talking guitars. I told him of the archtop Roma I had that my Grandfather made. He asked me if it had F holes and was blonde, when I said yes...he said "I'd like to see it, I will be back Tuesday give me a call." I brought it to his house, he played it, liked it, we chatted for about an hour...can you imagine sitting with a living legend...he is the nicest person you could ever meet.
