The Gibson Gals made fine guitars.
I tip my hat to the lasies of Kalamazoo.
I’ve known Mrs. Stap most of my life, and a nicer lady can’t be found. What a cool video.
May all the Kalamazoo Gal’s Unite once again!
In memory of my Mom, Frances K. Clemmens, she worked at KVP…and her sisters who were working to provide for their families too!
