This is a rare mini documentary that should be of interest for those that know the finished work of Jimmy D'Aquisto. "James D'Aquisto Making The New Yorker Part One"
There is a convergence of art .. you'll want to rerun.
This what handmade guitar making is all about. Sweat, lungs .. and a vision. And building for Jim Hall .. where do you go from there? On to the next one .. There are questions I get about the health issues of spraying lacquer, and did this cause the early deaths of Jimmy and John D'Angelico, both at 59 years of age. What we know is that lung cancer can be caused by anything from shop dust to cigarettes when artists are more interested in their work than anything in their environment.
John D'Angelico suffered with heart disease when young and eventually had a final attack. It might have been the stress of working extremely hard for his entire life, or maybe the work kept him going?
Jimmy had an epileptic seizure. That turned into pneumonia somehow. It is still advisable to wear a good mask.
