Last september I was diagnosed with kidney cancer. I have been focusing on healing, mentally and physically. As of right now , I am cancer free.


This summer I delivered a bubinga and cedar dred to Jon Lewis, lead singer of the band Hyland.

Here are a couple of pics of Jon with his new guitar.
Here is a link to Jon playing his new guitar in concert

I also built a new guitar shop this summer.
I will post pics of the new shop later.

Lots of cool things going on, considering a year ago I didn't know if I would even be alive now.

Nice looking guitar. Guitars really aren't the important thing though. Congratulations on being cancer free.

Tim -

Best wishes to you. I learned this year what the cancer experience is like for the spouse (and I also think everything is looking up), but it can't be anything like being the one at ground zero. It's great to come out of the experience with head up and charging forward.

Jim

Great news Tim, well done!

_________________
The name catgut is confusing. There are two explanations for the mix up.

Catgut is an abbreviation of the word cattle gut. Gut strings are made from sheep or goat intestines, in the past even from horse, mule or donkey intestines.

Otherwise it could be from the word kitgut or kitstring. Kit meant fiddle, not kitten.

Congratulations Tim. I hope you stay cancer free permanently and bless many more people with your beautiful instruments. I'm sure Jon loved it!
