[Dixielandjazz] Jim Lawyer

[dwlit at cpcug.org]

I saw Jim Lawyer play with the Barrelhaus JB at the Great Connecticut
Trad. Jazz Fest. in the late 1990s. He did some solos. What caught my
attention was his 4-string guitar, which he converted from a Gibson L-7.
He whittled the neck down on both sides, filled in 2 of the peg holes, got
a good sound with it. He played it as a changeup from the banjo.
