Why Instruments of Happiness?
“I have played guitar for 46 years, electric guitar for 41 years. My interest in the instrument really began on February 9th, 1964, when The Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan show for the first time. The guitar (and the music) is created to make us happy, sad, contemplative, ecstatic...frankly, one is never indifferent in the face of music. According to my favourite guitar.Tim Brady, Jonathan Barriault, Simon Duchesne, and Marc-Olivier Lamontagne
