I currently play acoustics made by McIlroy (Antrim, N. Ireland) Godin (Princeville QC), Gold Tone (USA), Taylor (USA) and Yamaha (Japan).

Elixir Strings  Elixir makes the "waterproof" and "sweatproof" guitar strings by applying a Gortex coating to the string which makes them last MUCH longer. Even as a product endorser, I can't say enough good things about these guitar strings! I love them! http://www.elixirstrings.com/

Grand River Folk Community  A terrific initiative by Jack Cole and Brad McEwen to maintain a listing of folk music-related events in communities along the Grand River. If you want to know what's going on...it lists EVERYTHING! - http://www.mgl.ca/~jhcole/GRFC.html
