Never saw them again nor heard "the rest of the story". Rumors later surfaced that they were suspects in a murder/robbery of a local banker. The couple always had a strange vibe, to say the least. The following week, he asked me to return it (which I did) as his son decided he did want it. Then one night he brought in this guitar, said he'd bought it for his son who turned out not to be interested. He and his wife showed up on the scene in a nice restaurant's bar where I played regularly back in the '80s. Oh, and I left off my list the D-28S "given" to me by a fan. What oddball or cheapo instruments did I acquire during certain mind-altered and/or poverty stricken parts of my life? What was I playing and with whom in the late '60s?. I found it to be an interesting exercise, not in braggadocio, but in trying to remember my musical past. 1949 Martn D-18 (braces had been scalloped) *

Some are still in the household but have been given to MaryAnn as gifts (MAJ now). I put actual dates of acquisition where I could put the correct year in place.
