Thanks so much, Michael, for this decidedly Brad-centric piece! I'm humbled. Thanks also for the cross-posting of the Billy Strings guitar retrieval. I certainly hope your readers (most of whom I know are players and students) enjoy not only Billy's saga, but the '70s race to the '23 Koa Martin shared by Stephen Michael Schwartz linked within!

Stephen, as some of your readers may know, is a singer/songwriter/guitarist who recorded an album on RCA Records (when he was 20) in '74, and was 1/3 of the popular children's trio, Parachute Express for a couple decades (that story will be told shortly)!

Stephen's already generously contributed 20 articles on FRONT ROW & BACKSTAGE, with his rare and personal peeks into the '70s Hollywood record biz! I invite your readers to dig in!🎸Thanks again, Michael!--Brad
