[@LoveMyHoodie]

100% agree with you on Oliver Anthony and his outstanding efforts. it shows that he has earned and deserves Respect for his strong musical presence. HelllYes !!!

[@BGHandmadeGuitars]

Thanks for the kind words Tony . It's an honor to have someone of your caliber play a guitar we are so proud of. Happy Birthday!!

[@BobDorfman]

The B&G: beautiful guitar. It reminds me visually of Martin’s CEO-7, but has a much brighter high end. Sounds as good as it looks.

[@cph630]

Happy 40th Tony!🎊 May you have many more years of picking ahead of you! This is CHristopher_H from TAC by the way.

[@CameraLaw]

Happy Birthday, Tony! You bring much joy in so many ways to us acoustic geeks.

[@eclecticexplorer7828]

Happy birthday, Tony! Mine is tomorrow. I am the David who spoke with you about ladder-braced guitars at the Fretboard Summit. I really enjoyed your discussion about getting out of a rut. I was going to say to you if I ran into you again that your advice there was not exclusively useful for playing guitar or other instruments. Most of it applies to anything in your life where you may be stuck in a rut. For me, it's sorting through all my mom's papers and photos that I wound up with when she passed last year. I am going to apply those techniques to conquering that overwhelming task.

Music is about how you're feeling. Sharing with others your perception of the world, life, and how it's affecting you. Oliver Anthony has put in his time with guitar, singing, and songwriting. While I think that he and I would not agree politically on much, I feel what he's singing. The song has nothing missing. It's got heart, it's got soul. It sounds right and therefore it is right. Music stopped being about money and about fame for me a few years ago. I'm proud of him, I respect the work he's put in and I'm happy and wish the very best for him in the future. I hope he gets more hits in the future. A true spiritual throwback to the traditional rhythm and blues of old rarely seen in modern times. Good on you Oliver and keep putting out your heart and soul. I feel Music has forgotten this.

I, too, first knew of the little sister. I did check out the Coretta because of you! I like it! First impression, it looks like my CEO-7. Second thought, I could easily sneak this into the fold and no questions asked. Now to re-open my checking account...

[@franknelsen9182]

Happy Birthday Tony! Great comments on Oliver Anthony. Couldn't agree more.

[@johnwashburn3793]

Happy birthday young man. I just listened to this guy last Saturday night. He probably came up as I am thinking about the Boxcar.

[@howardmceachern6614]

Happy Birthday Tony. Your TAC community will celebrate.

[@GabrieleSantoro]

Caletta is another competitor in the contest for the best Depression Era Replica, next to Atkin, Waterloo and many others... Wow, Tony, wow.

[@trollstjerne]

Happy Birthday Tony 🎉🎂🎈🎇🎆✨🎉🎊

[@BobDorfman]

Oliver Anthony’s song has certainly garnered a lot of attention. He’s not particularly happy about how some people are co-opting his lyrics to support one political direction or another. In an interview, he said that it is ironic to him that some people adopting his song as a means to be critical of one group could easily be the people he is writing about. He didn’t write the song to make a political statement. We, as human beings, seem to be very good at making something say what we want it to say. As Tony said so eloquently, his song is the work of an artist exercising his craft.

[@abates226]

FURTHERMORE! 😂 Love you, Tony!

[@chickenlickin3820]

Happy Birthday Tone! all the best man.

[@raymondstebbins5904]

What a good review never heard of this guitar hoped they kicked it down want to hear more

[@ianhamilton9634]

Hi Tony I have been so lucky to buy one of the first Mule resonator’s with the new T bridge. It really is a ‘wow’ guitar.

[@barrysmith2697]

Happy Birthday Tony 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@jacsvihus]

I had heard of B&G through a friend. I am surprised and pleasantly so by how snappy and dry the Caletta sounds. New guitars seem rarely able to get that dry snap with cooperative overtones totally under control. It is a sound I hear on very few guitars and not a one of them is new on none at this price. Great review Tone!!! : )

[@Mlee1877]

Happy 40th Tony, well deserved

[@solargalsolargal]

Great show Tony.

[@solargalsolargal]

Happy Birthday Tony❤

[@chrisdaniel1339]

As of 19:00 hrs today Oliver Anthony has 48 million views on his song Rich Men North of Richmond as seen on RADIOWV's channel. Well done sir

[@halmillett5448]

Happy Birthday!

[@guybross1200]

Hea Tony, yeah it sounds great, I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THE CHEAPER MODEL TOO. Thanx Guy B. RUSKIN fl.

[@ryangunwitch-black]

My dad’s got a Little Sister. The bridge and tailpiece are kind of weird. As far as a blues machine, I’m still holding out for the Martin CEO-7 because I can also pound it with a flat pick and get all my doom country magic and rage. ❤.

[@lindarlarson6267]

Happy Birthday!!!

[@dmeenkster]

Great perspective on Oliver Anthony. I’ve seen articles that refer to him as an “idiot with a guitar.” The interviews I’ve seen with him prove to me that the article couldn’t be more wrong. It just proves many of the criticisms he makes in his song. It seems to me that in this new world, telling the truth is the only thing that will get you punished.

[@codylyon9517]

Happy Birthday 🎉🎶😊

[@tropicalwatch655]

I hope this is a little foreshadowing for an upcoming Townes' themed TAC week.

[@nubisnotstump]

Happy great escape day 🥳🎉

[@Max-trek]

Tony the caletta guitar looks great but i didnt think it sounded too good or maybe it just didnt record that well ?????

[@maxherron1376]

Happy Birthday, Tony!!! We share our birthdays. 40 isn't too bad, try 69 🙂

[@claytonmoss1]

I thought it sounded to damn expensive! Got any budget, finger pickers? 🤔 🎸

[@LonesomeLeftist]

Looks fairly inspired by larsons brothers prairie state guitar, if you don't know them yet, check them out!

[@claytonmoss1]

What's the action like I Almost always struggle on an acoustic

[@donaldstephens8310]

Lolol sounds Me😂 pushing the cart while the horse follows 😮 lolol

[@donaldstephens8310]

Add .... Happy Birthday 🎉 !!

[@devans873]

Prince once said it took me 10 years to be an overnight success.

[@jasper_north]

Yes!

[@halmillett5448]

??? I have a BG acoustic bass guitar. Is it by the same maker??

[@rickdaignault2447]

How does the BG compare to the Taylor Mini GS Koa?

[@gregweber3387]

That B&G Caletta sounds really nice. I've never been a big fan of those roller style tuners though. Usually you see that more on a classical guitar rather than a steel string one. More than I can afford (or willing to spend) on a guitar though. What really sounded good was the video of the gentleman playing that Gretsch resonator. I'm not a big fan of resonators; but the artist and the guitar had a great sound.

[@jimdoner3443]

His song is resinating with huge segements of our society , myself included.

[@MadameM.]

Grayson? Did I miss something ?! A new baby?!

[@dmeenkster]

Apparently, you missed it.

[@MadameM.]

@@dmeenkster Yes, that's why I asked "did I miss something?"

Tony, I don't like the 'Boxy" sound of the guitar you played in the intro of this videocast.

[@nohillforahighstepper]

Happy birthday Tony!
