I love the sound of his Cura. I'd love to know it's story, who made it, how old it is, how he came to own it, how much did it cost, etc.

Like him, I enjoy hanging out on my front porch on a nice day, playing my guitar. It's one of God's greatest gifts, a time-honored tradition for as long as people have enjoyed music for their own quiet pleasure.
