Macon Prep

It’s less than a week before our Burnham, ME to Macon, GA road trip, and there are still plenty of items on the to-do list. Today I’m in my shop, preparing the list of names so that I can assemble the dedication plaque which will also hold the guitar. As you may know from reading the story of my Eat a Peach Tribute Guitar, I’ve collected the names of my Indiegogo campaign contributors for a plaque to be installed with the guitar at the Big House Museum. I couldn’t be more grateful to these folks – family, new friends, friends near and dear, friends from way back, plus fans and lovers of the Allman Brothers Band who supported me with donations and words of encouragement –  not to mention soulful jam sessions, quality baked goods, dark roast coffee, Maine craft beer and a whole lot of other shared goodwill that kept me on track and believing I could do this.  I had the names of campaign contributors laser-engraved (thank you Yankee Trophy of Benton, ME) onto book-matched sheets of beautiful curly maple veneer, and now I’m trimming those sheets down to size for placement on the plaque. I’ll provide some detailed pictures once I get the plaque assembled so if you’re a contributor you can find your name. Huge thanks and stay tuned…
