Nick Lucas on stage

[ruby@magpage.com]

A year and a half ago I posted about a Nick Lucas Special that I made for my daughter who plays blues in Brooklyn NY. She always plays a 1937 National Duolian on stage, but last weekend she travelled to our little Eastern Shore community in MD and did a show and she brought along the Nick. This is the first time I have seen her play it on stage. She sang a few songs, including Creole Belle by John Hurt, the first song she asked me to teach here when she was 13:

She also has a repair shop (brooklynlutherie.com) and I had a chance to hear it next to a real Nick and it performed reasonably well. This small mahogany/sitka guitar sounded very similar but did not have as much volume.

Here is the build story on that guitar:

I am so glad I finally got to see it in real action

Ed, that is just plain awesome. What a special label you made for that guitar. You can be very proud on both accounts.

It's beautiful Ed!
