For this episode we go to Acoustic Music Works, a shop people travel from far and wide to visit. There we talk to Raymond Morin, who is a luthier, and his apprentice Adam Rousseau. Not only do they explain what a luthier is, we have a fascinating conversation about what goes into making an acoustic guitar. We also discuss the difference between a shop like Acoustic Music Works and the Strip Mall Monolith Music Store, how making instruments changes the way one experiences other aspects of music, and I find someone else who had a childhood love of Bloom County.
You can find out more about Acoustic Music Works from their web site. Acoustic Music Works is on Twitter. You can hear more from Raymond through his excellent blog called Work and Worry. Finally, longtime listeners of the podcast remember Adam from his great band Triggers.
I think we say the bad word for poop twice.
