Hey, everybody. Finally got around to joining this group, though
Kevin and I have corresponded in the past. I bought my Olympic
several years ago from a hole-in-the-wall Chicago shop, just as I was
getting back into playing guitar after an absence of many years. I
didn't realize until later that an Olympic was what David Rawlings,
who I had just discovered, plays.

Mine is a 1936 according to the numbers at provide.net. It had been
worked on, not very well, prior to my getting it, so I had to have the
neck reset (or re-reset). It turned into a great little player, but
my guitar interests have gone on and I mostly play a Martin now.

I noticed for a while that Olympics regularly turned up on eBay, but
not for a while now, except one recently with a suspiciously perfect
finish and bound f-holes. Anyone else following the 'market' if there
is such a thing for these cool little guitars?

And who else is a David Rawlings fan? I have seen him with Gillian
twice, here in Chicago and also in Nashville, but it's been a while...

Regards to all,

'Chicago Al'
