2 years ago, I walked into McCabe's music in LA and saw an unusual instrument on the wall. "AHH the cigar box bouzouki" said the salesman. A few hours later, I walked out in a daze. I couldn't afford something so obscure and expensive, but my heart would have none of it. I went back to Toronto without the instrument, feeling I had made a terrible error in judgment. Time passed, but my heart was full of longing. I decided I would buy the bouzouki! Then, I got an email saying Andy Summers, the guitarist from THE POLICE had bought it. I was heartbroken. This week, as an early birthday present from my incredible wife, I now own the "Harold Harris" version of that same instrument that I played in LA. Hear it on ""Morning has Broken" The Luther’s is Kurt Schoen. http://schoenguitars.com/
