cool, thanks for posting

Looks like spaceship type knobs on an antique. I assume those are original parts.
Hey, I base a guitar on how it plays and sounds, but that being said, that is one ugly puppy.

His instruments did not look all that great, IMO, from a purely aesthetic standpoint, but they were great players, and great players wanted his products.
I think this version of Relaxing is perhaps the definitive version, and i like it a lot better.
He owned a few Gibsons, too.

Starjasmine, I can't disagree. I posted the Newport performance as it is under the radar as far as Garland records.

The Newport recording is interesting, of course, in its own right. Particularly the cut Riot-chous, apparently made up on the spot, which is also on the Jazz Winds album. The most amazing thing about the latter, to me, is the playing of 17-year-old Gary Burton.
