When Woody Guthrie was singing hillbilly songs on a little Los Angeles radio station in the late 1930s he used to mail out a small mimeographed songbook to listeners who wanted the words to his songs. On the bottom of one page appeared the following: This song is Copyrighted in U.S., under Seal of Copyright #154085, for a period of 28 years, and anybody caught singin' it without our permission, will be mighty good friends of our'n, cause we don't give a dern. Publish it. Write it. Sing it. Swing to it. Yodel it. We wrote it, that's all we wanted to do - Pete Seeger, on Woody, June 67

Yet Another Kay Comes Home To Roost
« on: September 13, 2014, 02:12:51 PM »
Kays just keep turning up at the door needing a good home. 

The latest is a 1938-1939 K-6.  15" lower bout and long 25 3/4" scale.  Nice spruce and mahogany.   What really caught my eye though was the ornamentation.  Black and white purfling and tort binding on the fingerboard, top, back and soundhole (even on the inside edge).  The biggest surprise though was the rounded edges of the fingerboard - what Kay called an oval fingerboard.  Just plain comfy.  Some wingnut had replaced the tuners slapping the new ones on the wrong side of the headstock.  But  I have a set of late 1930s Klusons in the parts box so no problem.

A wide open, big banging cowboy chord playing guitar.
