Just bumping the thread as it should be about time for the next person to receive it. You have mailed it I assume, camdener?

^ I'll just add that Craig Taylor was originally questioned and considered a possible suspect before Greg's trial. Craig Taylor did have a relationship with the victim and his first confession to this murder was made to a psychiatrist in 1996, well before his recent string of false confessions.

Reminded me of one of the greatest speeches I have ever heard. I was attending NC State during Jimmy V's run to the National Championship. He truly was an incredible man.

Jimmy Valvano's 1993 ESPY Speech. "Don't give up, don't ever give up."

Have a great time Badeye, wish I could be there to celebrate with ya. I'll drink one in your honor this evening.

Toney - Thanks for asking and supporting this cause. I would love to see a video clip of that dedication and song and I am sure others backing Tater would also.

Other than some positive press, the news is not great. We had hoped the D.A. would do the right thing in light of the new evidence and vacate the sentence or drop charges, essentially setting Greg free. Even the former chief justice of the N.C. Supreme Court is backing Greg. Excerpt:

DA is urged to free Taylor

RALEIGH The former chief justice of the N.C. Supreme Court is urging Wake County's top prosecutor to prevent Greg Taylor from spending another day in prison for murder.

I. Beverly Lake says District Attorney Colon Willoughby should use his power to free Taylor. Last month, the N.C. Innocence Inquiry Commission unanimously found that Taylor didn't commit the murder he has spent 16 years in prison paying for.

A three-judge panel next will consider Taylor's case. Lake said Monday that Willoughby should act at once.

"The District Attorney always has the authority, in light of new evidence, to move to vacate a conviction or join with the defense in a motion to vacate a conviction," Lake wrote in a letter to The News & Observer. "There is a difference between being unwilling to exercise that authority and being unable to exercise that authority -- an important distinction."

However Willoughby is sticking by his guns in an effort to save face and is going to let this go to the 3 judge panel. I still believe the outcome will be favorable, but likely several months away.

I'll go ahead and recommend a couple of dealers if you are really interested. Both of these folks are outstanding, with great return policies. NOTE - prices listed are NOT the bottom line, call to get the real deal.

Acoustic Pro (this is where I bought mine): http://www.acousticpromusician.com/inv_ca.htm

MacNichol: http://www.macnichol.com/category/Cargo.html

But honestly, for a kids guitar, carry to the campfire, play outside in the snow, I would probably try to find used. Literally, these guitars cannot be damaged. Check ebay, craigs list, or here is a classified section from the carbonguitar forum that I also visit.

Wayne - Not sure of your budget, but I recommend you check out a Composite Acoustics Cargo. These guitars are serious instruments and because they are made from carbon-fiber, they are virtually indestructible. Perfect for the youngsters, yet with a sound that I'm sure you would enjoy. I own a CA 71 (now called a GXI) and it is a fantastic guitar.

I bet you could pick up a used cargo in the $500 to $600 range.

Here's Rosie. A stray that found us I guess 5 or 6 years ago now. The friendliest dog I have ever known. Any stranger is her new best friend. She was wandering the neighborhood one weekend while the wife and I were out of town and the neighbor put some food out for her. She had pink splotches all over her initially, like someone had attempted to color her coat, or maybe even been shot by a paintball gun. The wife adopted her immediately, we put signs out, called the local vets, etc - no one claimed her she's been here ever since.
