One day, while visiting my jeweller friend Mark Videan in Traverse City, Michigan (I guess since he's an American he's a 'jeweler' not a 'jeweller' -- I don't know how you guys lost that extra 'l'), I was complaining that I always seem reluctant to throw out my nice bronze and silver used guitar strings. One thing led to another...and Mark came up with a really great design for guitar-string bracelets and earrings...he's added stirling silver to them, and they look quite lovely if I do say so myself. Each item is made from a well-worn string that once lived on my 1967 Martin D-18 Guitar. Songs were written on those strings. Many shows were played (I'm kinda lazy about changing them). These strings have been all over the place, and now they could end up on your wrist. Cool, eh? There's an even cooler part. With each purchase, the value of one set of six NEW strings will be donated to the ArtsCan Circle, an organization which collects and delivers musical instruments to Native communities, where teams of creative artists bring hands-on instruction and encouragement to at-risk youth...no strings attached. Find out more about ArtscanCircle and the work of its founder, harmonica virtuoso Mike Stevens at their website: www.artscancircle.ca You can order them from the order form page. I hope you enjoy wearing these strings as much as I did playing them!
