Glad it was actually a "Curbside find" Had it actually been in a dumpster the instrument would probably not have been rescued.
I once told Ozzie that he could sell it if he wanted to because I didn't want to burden him with the obligation of keeping the guitar just because it was a gift. He affirmed that he had no intention of getting rid of it because it presented a "unique voice" & that he may possibly use it again to record.
