Last week, Greg Harris, President and CEO of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, was in upstate New York where he met up with Tom Lieber at his workshop (http://www.lieberguitars.com/).
Followers of the incredible Pete Sears' "Dragon Saga" will recall that Tom Lieber was the luthier who had apprenticed with Doug Irwin and worked on the creation of Pete Sears' "Dragon" bass. It was Tom's post to a Grateful Dead forum asking whether anybody knew of the bass' whereabouts after it had been stolen during a stadium riot, that was instrumental in the return of "Dragon" to Pete 35 years later.
