Now wait a minute. My wife sees sounds and hears colors (and smells them both) and has made a career out of it and has a very serious enterprise. Please don't give synesthesia a bad name! :-)
 
Hippies have gotten a bad rap. Most of the people I know who I would consider hippies work a heck of a lot harder than the straight people I know. I don't know who all the great unwashed are who get called hippies, but they give the rest of us a bad name.

I have this picture, but I don't know the source:

Where are those two strings?!

Nice TEAC 4 track in the pic too

Mica, sorry about that.  I was trying to post pictures and my first tries went into some parallel dimension.  I guess you have contacts there.

Doug,  
 
Mica is Mica Wickersham. Daughter of Ron and Susan Wickersham.  
 
She as a few connections at Alembic

He meant connections in a parallel dimension. Its true. Part of the Wickersham DNA.

I just had that picture on my hard disk for several years. I didn't keep track of where I got it. These aren't quite the same as on your link. Did you ever email me about this guitar?
 
These peanut guitars as we call them were an idea of Bear's to have a completely minimalist guitar. The experiment as you know, wasn't successful as something that is fun to play. I really love the Bird's-eye Maple top on your guitar. Looks just great!

Oh, and I can neither confirm nor deny the parallel dimension connections.

Mica,
That's the same blue bedsheet from the same shoot!  Yes, I think I got ahold of (I guess the woman was you) you some years ago and you remembered Steve Smith from the workshop at the time.  I think I had called Alembic and was on the phone with you briefly and then I guess I sent you the picture.  
Thanks for the bit of history.  I didn't know it was a Bear idea.  I guess that giant brain always a lot going on, huh?
Cordially,
Dv
