One guitar, one hundred hands.
Добавлен 21 окт 2021
The guitar is a 1926 Gibson L1 with a fascinating history.
It was initially sold by T.E. Bevan & Co. Ltd. in Calcutta, India, a known Gibson retailer and is virtually identical, including similar wear marks, to the famous picture of Robert Johnson’s.
The L1 has a distinctive round lower bout and this one is a “catalogue model” meaning it has ladder style bracing and does not carry the stylized “The Gibson” logo on the headstock. Her FON is 8333.
The guitar has had a life of travel, damage, rebuild, was stolen, saved from the dumpster and been reborn numerous times. It is an instant inspiration to all who experience her and we’ll do our best to share her story and music here.

Brian Greenway is the longest-serving member of the Canadian rock band April Wine, which he joined in 1977 and performs guitar, harmonica, and vocals duties.

good job brain thank you for being you
Cool stuff Brian.
Wow, would have loved to be there.....
Lovely sounding guitar. Nice picking too.
I love your version of Oowatanite!
That was cool! Nice job Brian!
Thomas O’Brien gave me this guitar over 40 years ago in an act so generous that to this day it moves me almost to tears. My hope is that that generosity will continue to flow from this guitar as many more hands hold it and many more hearts play it!
❤ 😮 😂

You can heard him do the same tune , but you'll never hear it exactly the same way twice . That is the joy subtle .... Things. Hope to see him many more times too. .... Timeless.
One of my favorite Ian songs and hearing it on this guitar is the absolute best
Well that was so sweet! Lovely to hear this old guitar played so beautifully. Thank you Stephen and George!
Ian has 1000+ beautiful poems and this is one of my favs😊and I do find comfort there
This is just fantastic. I'm loving how expressive Colin's singing is...and his playing is equally beautiful. Inspired!
My favourite singer/songwriter in the entire world. His songs keep me going every single day
Valdy is playing in Fredericton, N.B. tomorrow night. I have my ticket. Saw him in grade 12, at a little High School, Opeongo High, in Cobden Ontario, 1973-74. He was wandering the school halls, and I looked and said Holy Shite, that's Valdy!!! That's Valdy!!! Anyhow our Principal got him to perform for all the students that afternoon. All I can say is when he climbed up the stair, to the stage that was there.....there was nothing missing!!!
saw him on Oshawa last year at the Regent theater, he's an wonderful singing but also an amazing guitarist.
Awesome. A random, esoteric joke lead me here
Love it!
Got to love that old jug band style!
Just a fabulous singer and their acoustic guitar, a musical purist's dream!
Great song, and some very fine guitar playing!
❤
thanks Sue...... beautiful
Absolutely Outstanding 🎸❤️🎶🎶🎶🎶👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wonderful. I first saw Valdy perform was, I think, at Uvic in 1972. He was the warm-up Act for Chilliwack. I listened to his amazing performance and to this day, still think that he upstaged that awesome band ! I was blessed on another occasion to come face to face with Paul V Horsdal as I looked up from my register to sell him a 10 inch reel to reel tape in 1975 at Queale Electronics. Over the years, I have loved his music, and now it simply brings tears as those cherished memories return with his strings. Thankyou from a fan of a half century.
I went to elementary school at George Vanier in her younger sisters grade. I will be attending her show at the esplanade on Thursday April 6th. I am really looking forward to the show
