Jay was the first luthier to inspire my bro and me. His shop was the one that opened our eyes to the possibility of building guitars by hand, back in the early '70's. Not only was he a fine luthier, but he was one whale of a tool designer. Quite an inspiration. Sad news, but thanks for this update all the same. Steve |

I spent many hours at his shop on Glenwood Rd. I started working there in 1971 while attending Dekalb College. Hung my own shingle in 1974. I remeber your brother John. Not sure I ever met you. John's a fine fellow and I'd bet you are too. |

Well, John's a fine fellow, and we'll leave it there. Did you know Mike Maulky (sp?) One of our early visits, Mike was making a Padauk/Purpleheart dread that was a real eye-opener. My guitar aesthetic has never been the same since. Steve |
