New Fall 09 Issue in!

We’ve been anxiously anticipating for the Fall 09 issue of Fretboard Journal as we knew it would have a great article on Wilco, and as usual, there’s much much more in the pages of this incredible quarterly magazine. A serious feast for instruments fans.

In addition to the fantastic piece on Wilco, this includes a really great article on Pete Seeger and his famous banjo, another on banjo player Alison Brown, an intriguing Martin restoration article,  and a really killer piece on legendary guitar builders the Larson Brothers. This article explores their legacy, includes some just awe-inspiring photos  and even mentions the wonderful builders Blazer & Henkes (Rudie Blazer will be here  at Mass St. Music for a clinic on Sat., Sept. 26th). We’ve got copies here at the store, a few are heading down to Winfield today, and I believe it’s also available at some big book box stores. One of the best mags out there today. Lots of cool info also at their Fretboard Journal blog.

We’re busy packing up half the store for our journey to Winfield tomorrow. Looking forward to the great folks, amazing music, and apparently great weather! Woo-hoo! Look for us under the grandstand. Jim, Josh and John will all be there with instruments, accessories and new Mass St. Music Winfield t shirts featuring the bosses Jim and John cartooned out by amazing artist Austin Noll:

Austin Noll's killer rendition of Jim and John!
