This is a photo taken by my friend Ian Anderson at Cambridge Folk Festival in 1982. Keith Calton on the right and luthier Nigel Thornbory on the left. I don't know the guy in the centre. ![](https://michaelmesser.proboards.com/attachment/download/10913) It was Nigel Thornbory that restored my Dobro M32 after I had the body stove enamelled. Nigel made the new neck and got it all up and running again. That was also in 1982. Keith actually started Calton Cases thirteen years earlier in 1969.

My Calton was made about this time I think, he’s a very helpful guy, he’s helped me sort my case a couple times, one time I warped it when I got it too close to the campfire at a bluegrass fest, oops

Keith is a lovely guy, I have known him for 40+ years. Just before lockdown he serviced all of my Calton cases and brought them up to current specs, which was great.
Shine On Michael
