Links are dead.
I so dislike the modern digital world that I need to use semi-digital effects to emulate the analog world of cassette, VHS, and vinyl.

Yep.

And if it can’t be found via the following link or on reverb then it can’t be found at all. (I’m a bibliophile and search world wide in multiple languages for rare books for my library and the link below is an excellent resource)

Here a second website worth saving -- https://www.abebooks.com -- and a book really worth buying. Hundreds of interviews, Jim Hall being followed by Jimi Hendrix; also an overview of various aspects of the guitar's history, maintenance, etc.
