Thanks! I actually did a lot of talking with John Vaillant before organizing the trip to Haida Gwaii.
I do presentations about the project at schools and conferences and talking about the Golden Spruce still chokes me up every time. I can't get over what an extraordinary gift it was for that community to make to my project. And given the fact that it is the whole guitar top, it is truly the face and voice of the project in more ways than one.
God, I love that he used a piece of the Golden Spruce.
That story is phenomenal, and if you're interested in learning more about it, pick up John Vaillant's book "the Golden Spruce."
