Default Re: 12 string Gibson damaged onstage

At this stage having to deal with such a traumatic experience; that would be a horror story for Gordon Lightfoot.

Those guitars are his babies.

Over the years I've seen him go through broken string episodes on stage and he always just geared in there and went straight to work and changed the broken string and all the while entertained his audience in the professional manner he has always done, but this...I'm feeling the pain.
Just reading "chunk of the back splinter off that old Gibson," "chunk of the guitar's back about the size of my forearm was laying on the stage at my feet."
Just to difficult for me to process on this particular day.
But he'll be there tomorrow night for his scheduled concert and the show will go on in the very same professional manner that he's always done, and it will be done in his fashion.
