Clicked on the link, it's no longer on there. The Jim Croce D 21 is one of four Martin Celebrity models on my fantasy wish list. The other three, a Bob Shane D 28, Maury Mulheisen D 35 and Gordon Lightfoot D 18. Ain't ever gonna happen unless something unusual takes place though. Probably my last acquisition is my new 000 18. I sold some other stuff and had a fistful of gift cards making that one possible. Great guitar though. I had my nephew, a highly regarded luthier, install a K&K and do a proper set up. I'll be using that one on and off for this my "50th Year Anniversary Tour". My tour will end up with about a dozen, "For real" gigs. Gigs few and far between these days. My first paying gig was in 1972. A bunch since then through the years, some better than others, all important to me one way or another. Speaking of Jim Croce. When he was making it big in the 70's he often played an Ovation guitar. I found a good deal on one in or around 1972 so we could both have one. :>) If you get the opportunity to see A J Croce, don't pass it up. He does a lot of his dad's stuff, by popular demand, and does it VERY well. In his own right he's a jazz/blues New Orleans style piano guy. OUTSTANDING talent! His story is a sad one through the years, interesting but sad. He'd been abused by one of his Mothers boy friends causing blindness that lasted more than a year. he regained sight , only in one eye, but that has not stopped him from a wonderful musical career. I know, I know TMI. Haven't been here in a while, spending most of the summer in the 'Thumb". Stay well everyone....TC
