Jad Fair's guitar, he explained some unique features. He shortened the neck, the neck is attached to the body with a system of rubber bands allowing dramatic bends. He explained that his approach to guitar is a rhythm/percussion instrument.
Half Japanese is a avaunt rock band formed by brothers Jad and David Fair, rumor had it they were part of the local music scene. I had never met them, I only knew them from a series of wild LPs from the 70's and 80's.
As it turned out it is true, though Jad now lives in Texas, and brother David lives in a town just a few miles east of us. Today I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with Jad and David Fair, and listening to a couple of sets with Jad, and enjoying his art work at the Library, barely a mile From Camp David, in Thurmont Maryland. Sadly, the President was unable to attend.
