I'll start with a link to a page where you can see a couple of my guitars that aren't pictured anywhere else on this site.  One was built by Paul Woolson; the other by John Reuter.  

Now then, here are links to some people and/or organizations I value. 

Jiyushinkai is an organization of which I am extremely proud to be a part.  I suspect that if I had not found it, I would have lost the bit of sanity that I've managed to preserve.
Chris Smither is one of my favorite artists.  Great singer/songwriter who is also an amazing guitarist.  I highly recommend his albums Leave the Light On, Train Home and Live As I'll Ever Be.  I feel they provide the best representation of his work.
Todd Snider is a fantastic songwriter with interesting ideas about a variety of subjects.
B&D Guitar Repair is Billy O'Reilly's shop in Phoenix, AZ and he is one of my favorite people.  He's honest and great at what he does.  What more do you want?  His web site is here and his myspace is here.  Don't let the basic internet presence fool you; he's too busy fixing guitars to have a fancy web site.
Kat Haapapuro creates some really great handmade guitar straps, along with camera straps, scarves, and jewelry.  I have six of her straps and I won't use any other kind.  Check out her web site, http://katstraps.com.
