There are too few places out there in the world to celebrate the magic of music...On this very special episode we look at the legacy of a place the celebrate the art of the music but the art of the instrument as well.  On VOD Platforms tomorrow, we're talking 'Songbirds'.The Songbirds Guitar Museum in Chattanooga Tennessee hosted the world's largest collection of vintage guitars. Covid-19's devastating blow to the music industry forced the museum to close. This documentary film explores the final hours and cultural impact of this special collection.It wasn't a place that was just about the guitars but it was a place that showed you how to be a musician and appreciate the art behind it all.  We had the pleasure of talking with director Dagan Beckett (a professional guitarist in his own right) who started out as a fan of the place and was compelled to document the closing of the place as a capsule of what the place was and will be in so many people's hearts.He talked about what compelled him to make the story, working under the gun like he did for it all, subsequently winning an Emmy for the film and so very much more....
