Grant Robinson is on a “journey across the U.S. in a classic car, seeking out the American experience through music”.

He recently caught up with Jon in Phoenix and recorded a few videos where Jon talks about the current state of the music biz, plays a bit of slide (below) and has a look under the hood of said classic car – 1961 Ford Falcon.

Grant’s blog of his travels is Straight-Six Blues

Jon says “everyone needs to check out” Don Windham’s Haymaker Guitars shop.

Yup to go with the great guitars Don makes – see the Haymaker Haynnifer in the gear section – he now buys, sells and repairs stringed instruments in his own shop. This is where Jon got “my newest favorite guitar from him: 1961 Harmony Hollywood archtop”.

So head along to:

I was in the same Roberto-Venn class as Mr. Don and as well as being a top guitar maker he’s also a top bloke, so I’m with Jon – everyone needs to check it out now.

Jon’s new bit of guitar gear is up in the “Gear” section.

It’s a square neck acoustic made by Roberto-Venn guitar building instructor and all round top bloke Don Windham under his Haymaker brand. A pretty damn fine looking piece of kit with name of Jon’s good lady wife inlaid into the fretboard.
