Worth looking at is Kellerman's novel, A COLD HEART.
The book is dedicated to George Gruhn and John Monteleone among others.
The book features vintage mandolins and guitars.
Kellerman himself has a vast collection of instruments and has published a book about them.
I have his coffee table book. I would have the move the coffee and strumpets,,,, oops.... I meant crumpets to see the title. Jonathan and his wife are multiple best selling authors. Just to get an idea Jonathan bought his wife a Loar F-5 for her birthday one year and they own a Loar quartet plus guitars. Very nice book that comes with a drool bib. :)
I'm crossing my fingers for a birthday Loar this year from my wife
I’d settle for a Fern....:grin:
I wrote the book down on my list. I'm a novel reader, so appreciate the suggestion!Quote:

Thanks for the suggestion - description looks good!

Kellerman’s collection takes up a good portion of his manse. Last I heard he was commissioning “guitar-inspired” furniture. Gary Larkin, the cartoonist is also a guitar nerd.
I love The Rock Bottom Remainders, a band composed of well-published authors plus a few ringers.Quote:

Founder Kathi Kamen Goldmark died on May 24, 2012, and the group disbanded a month later, following a memorial concert in her honor.
Thanks for that tip! I’ve read numerous Kellerman novels, but knew nothing of his musical life.
