Thank You Bill Hardin!

Bill Hardin built this Bear Creek using (mostly) just his left hand 'cause his right hand was badly injured. It's first recording with this beauty and I must say that Bill builds excellent guitars even this way, it just takes longer time. (I played using both hands:)

I was in Estonia once, Tonu. We took the ferry from Tullin to Helsinki. I was a little bit scared because of the tragedy with another ship in the Baltic Sea a few years ago :(. A beautiful country!

Next time give me a call before you come. It's much easier to find interesting places with a local (musician) guide:) We just had a great concert here with two Bear Creeks on stage, another was on the knees of Knut Hem, great player and wonderful person from Norway. And we played that tune as well:)
