In my previous post I told of our arson story that continues to this day, 3 years later. I want to pay homage, however, to a very special collection that my husband began many years ago. For anyone who is an artist, musician, writer or collector of things…this will hurt to see. Everything in these photos was burned to ashes in the fire. No photos of his Vox collection survived, but at least I have these.

I am putting it out to the universe that “one day” I will surprise my strong and creative husband with a new collection of his favorite vintage guitars and basses again. It hurt me to see him deal with the emotion of losing something he enjoyed and loved. He is a good man, a badass musician and I really, really dig him.

This very rare Kawai Moonsault is a special 1980’s import, not the 1990’s reissue. I sneaked and saved to get this for his birthday many years ago. I will never be able to find another for him, or the custom case it came in.

Remnants of guitars and other instruments pulled from the ashes….Hagstrom’s are in the mix

All that was left…..

One day dear….one day…I will surprise you. It may take years..but one day…..
