			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As far as contemporary guitar players go, you’ll be hard pressed to find a player with more feathers in his cap than Laurence Juber. And those are some big, bright feathers. Laurence has done it all. He is the former lead guitarist for Paul McCartney and Wings, Alan Parsons Project, Carly Simon and too many other top stars to mention here.</p>
<div id="attachment_1644" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.reunionblues.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/JuberThenandNow.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1644" src="http://www.reunionblues.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/JuberThenandNow-300x163.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="163" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Laurence Juber, now and then!</p></div>
<p>He has his own Laurence Juber signature model C.F. Martin Acoustic guitar OMC-LJ. He is a world renowned fingerpicking expert, composer, arranger and all around guitar virtuoso.  He composed and performed music for Ken Burn&#8217;s follow up baseball documentary film <a href="http://www.pbs.org/baseball-the-tenth-inning/"><em>The Tenth Inning</em></a>.  And he has recently completed <em><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/lj-plays-the-beatles-vol-2/id382482224">LJ Plays The Beatles Vol. 2.</a></em> These are just a few of his achievements and accomplishments in a hugely successful career.</p>
<p>And who does Laurence turn to for gig bags and cases for his prized guitars? Reunion Blues, of course! When I asked him about his squadron of Reunion Blues gig bags, he commented:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I am indeed well-equipped with your bags, with my first purchased at Manny&#8217;s Music on 48th St in NYC in 1978.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<div id="attachment_1647" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 266px"><a href="http://www.reunionblues.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/JuberSquadron.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1647" src="http://www.reunionblues.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/JuberSquadron-256x300.jpg" alt="" width="256" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Juber Squadron</p></div>
<p>Laurence sent us this photo of his Reunion Blues gig bags and cases titled: En Route to a Session (I bet that was one heck of a session!  He added:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;As a traveling musician, I appreciate the value of a well-designed and functional gig bag. There are certainly some competitive alternative products in the marketplace, but none have the consistency of style, &#8216;fit&#8217; and &#8216;finish&#8217; that I associate with Reunion Blues.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>When asked about traveling with his guitars, he offered this comment which may be even more impressive than our famous drop test from the top of a 3-story building:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been happy with the Reunion Blues Continental for my Les Paul and have checked it as baggage with no concerns.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Laurence was one of the first people we showed our new RB prototypes to at the 2011 NAMM show. Here is what he had to say:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The suede finish prototype bag at NAMM was cool &#8211; I particularly liked the zippered flap over the outside pocket.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>We are obviously thrilled to have Laurence as an official Reunion Blues artist endorser. To learn more about one of the most exciting guitar players of our time, just go to <a href="http://www.laurencejuber.com">laurencejuber.com</a>. Enjoy with amazement!</p>
