A journey shaped by a guitar
International Herald Tribune – Feb 22, 2008
Martin & Company guitar factory. More than 200 guitars are made at Martin each day many more than when the company first opened in New York City in 1833 (it moved to Nazareth in 1839). But for any guitar player or music lover getting to see the basic stages in the creation of a Martin moves them powerfully putting some in touch with emotions they might have thought too inaccessible to be reached. Martins are arguably the most coveted acoustic guitar on earth — satisfied customers include Bob Dylan Neil Young and Freedy Johnston — and wherever pickers and grinners gather to resurrect time-honored chestnuts from “Helpless” to “Sugarfoot Rag” there's a good chance that there will be a Martin chiming in. A trip to the factory could almost be considered a journey to the Lourdes of twang. Given Martin's humble origins today's factory is surprisingly large and modern built in 1964. The barn-red Martin building replicates the facade of the first Nazareth factory but from the outside it looks to be playing host-victim to an industrial plant large enough to churn out cars and trucks.

Hanging my thick coat next to a poncho with the sound of traditional guitar music in the background makes me think that there is something surreal about this new restaurant in the middle of Russia’s northern capital. Everything about this restaurant pours out images of bushy moustached Mexicans strumming their guitars and singing out enchanting folk songs on a warm summer’s evening: from the wooden saloon style furniture and colorful place mats to the folk paintings and map of Mexico. Just be careful not to prick your finger on the mini cactus that stands next to the serviette holder. Sombreros hang from the walls and the waiter wearing flares looks ready to salsa at any moment. He even puts on the poncho that hangs on the clothes rail as the night wears on.
