Found this the other day and I think it's worth noting. Check out the artwork behind Mr. Karr...

At the close of the week he had us all out to his place (in central Connecticut at the time). It was, as you would expect, a reflection of his personality: Classy, organized, beautiful and with plenty o' fun in plain sight.
What d'ya bet those are originals, not prints?
Play on, maestro! |

The first time I heard him play a recital in Victoria, he was playing this one. It looks as though has has had Jim install one of his adjustable necks to it since I saw it. |

If you wanna be so critical, lemme hear you play.
