Gibson Guitar Factory

I have to tell you. This feels like an archeological find. The folks at Gibson, formerly of Kalamazoo, were going through some archival finds, and they found this promotional film, made in 1967.

This 1939 Gibson guitar made in Kalamazoo is a beauty, and may be the ticket to stardom for a Youngstown, Ohio musician who plays his grandfather's old six-string.

Many things about the legendary bluesman are still a mystery. A scholar may have just uncovered where Robert Johnson bought his Gibson guitar made in Kalamazoo.

The dream was announced on a hot Saturday afternoon, September 9th, 2017. We were under a giant tent setup across the street from 225 Parsons Street.
