Healdsburg Guitar Festival 2007: Ken Parker
August 28th, 2007
One one of the most visited benches at Healdsburg was Ken Parker’s. Parker was the subject of a New Yorker article a while ago, which created some buzz, but as you can see from the photos, even without the national press exposure, people would have been lining up to peek inside the unusual soundhole. Harold says, “The dauntless Ken Parker showed some examples of his current and past work, on the heels of a glowing article about him in the May 14 issue of The New Yorker. Never encumbered by history, Parker brought the ultralight “Olive Branch” archtop that the New Yorker featured. If you promised to mind your manners–and turn your belt buckle–you coulda tried it. The guitar is a first article, with great projection and sustain, and starts a promising next chapter in the saga of this unique builder, whom most know as the developer of the Parker Fly guitars.” MJS & HF
