Several years ago a thread on the Guild fansite started a conversation about Charlie Jarousek, a Duluth-based builder who made a 12-string for Dylan. It started as "Anybody know who built it?" and proceded through identifying Jarousek and eventually to the report of Jarousek's death last January in Florida. The last post links to the estate sale of his collection and gear and memorabilia. There are some videos. And the estate-sale photo collection documents a life in the folk-music world. Worth preserving, I would think.

Would be fun to be there if it was only a few blocks away.

That guy had other interests as well. Some cool stuff. Great posters from the Riverside Cafe and Scholar in probably the 60’s when he used to play there.
