Ken Knows Bows - Ken Cartwright at Cartwright's Music & Repair Shop

Hardwired - a guitar neck in Stayton OregonCartwright’s Music & Repair Shop will be closing its retail doors in a few weeks time. This is a major bummer. So I stopped by on Saturday during the SummerFest to get a few shots in while I was in the neighborhood.

There were a lot of folks in the shop taking advantage of the major sale, so I didn’t get many photos taken. I’m hoping to go back before the store closes.

In the photo above, Ken was explaining to a customer the merits of various types of bows. It all sounded perfectly reasonable to me, not that I recall now what was said. But you can be darned sure Ken knew what he was taking about.

Thanks to Ken for letting me come in and take pictures from time to time. I really appreciate it.
