This week's guest has the voice of an ethereal being sent from the void to calm us and educate us. Perhaps the most soothing interview the mavens will ever conduct, please allow yourself to be wrapped up and cradled by the story of Eric Daw (spouse of previous guest Melissa Daw!). A hometown boy if ever there was one, Eric grew up here in Idaho Falls. His love affair with guitars and the 50's aesthetic started quite young and he considers himself lucky that his passion is fed by both his collecting and his career. A professional guitar mender and builder, Eric spent 15 years living in Seattle working at Emerald City Guitars. In 2017 he decided to come home and bring his family with him. Guitars, amps, and other related flotsam are an obvious part of his collecting, but he's also quite fond of percolator coffee makes and dice. Among the nerdy guitar facts and everyone's mutual love of mid-century vintage, Eric drops some deep, soulful truth that made our copy-editor cry. A wiser or more humble man will never be found.
