Martins & More with Spoon Phillips
Hi friends- we regret to inform you that recently, both of our day jobs have conspired to take away much of our free time. So much so, that we must take a long hiatus from podcasting. We’ll keep you posted when we know more. For now, THANK YOU for all the support & please enjoy our past episodes. We truly enjoyed producing them. This podcast features the conversation and opinions of musician T Spoon Phillips. A writer by trade, Spoon’s longtime association with professional musicians, luthiers, and music historians affords him a richly unique perspective on all things acoustic guitar. This includes decades of close friendship with executives and employees at C. F. Martin & Company, past and present, and the host of this podcast, Maury Rutch of Maury’s Music.
