Maybe this should be in another heading, but,.... Ken Donnell, who was a major contributor to many of the String Instrument Craftsman issues and inventor of the Miniflex guitar mics, lost everything but the clothes on his back and his old truck in Greenville, destroyed by the Dixie Fire. He had a home and music store there.
Chris, we had an exchange about him in a previous thread.
Here is an ABC news article about him. https://fox40.com/news/local-news/green ... re-neared/.

Wow. What a combination of misfortune and real blessing at the same time.

Wow. That is a big life change right there. Glad Ken is okay... It's been over 30 years since I saw him in person. It might change his direction, but I don't think anything can keep Ken Donnell down for long.

Lol...now there's a REAL player. When you have collected obscure publications to the point of being able to fill the needs of other collectors of obscure publications...you are pretty much all the way downtown with it. :) Fun stuff.

Just got a message from Dick Boak at Martin - he has acquired all issues of SIC and is currently scanning them for use on the ASIA website. This is exciting news.


That's the method there. If I had to guess, after 35 years of research (my own) and their 35 years of history...there will be only a very small % of the people (left alive) involved this project that would either know the details of the project but also know its worth.

My curiosity...

1. How many books or publications have been utterly lost to history? Never mind that one - I stopped asking questions that don't have answers long ago. That's just a wonderment about how much knowledge has passed through humanity only to be forgotten.

2. How long did it take from the time you began in earnest to the time you actually made first contact with Mr. Boak? Also, if you don't mind...can you trace you steps backwards to analyze the process by which you arrived at his name? Often that reveals processing and methodology analysis that can lead to better r&d skills.

It's a good time to remind the newbies here...

If you'd like all 14 issues of String Instrument Craftsman, please contact me.
I can email them to you, burn a CD and mail it, or send me a memory stick and I'll load it and return it to you.

Chris, did you end up with a permanent link to host these? It seems it would be easier to put them on a google drive and share a public link and let folks have at it. :)

Dick Boak was going to put them on his own extensive website... and then changed his mind.
And I don't do Google...so... Still distributing them old school style.

I’ll also toss my hat in the ring and say that if you ever get tried of distributing these gems I’d be proud to host them on my website.

I was sent a temporary link from Dick Boak but I didn’t get to download before it expired.

If you can resend to Brad.combs@gmail.com I will send back a link you can use.
