Episode Details

Lots of people will be flying the holiday season. But do you who travels ALL the time? Musicians. Life on the road isn't all limos, hookers, and blow. Believe. It's trying to find creative new ways to keep the airline baggage handlers from destroying your instrument every time you hop on an airplane. Musician Ted Wulfers is learning this lesson the hard way after his prized guitar recently got manhandled by an airline. Now he's up to his eyeballs in formal complaints and it remains to be seen if they will take responsibility and make him whole again. Ted joins us to share his story and give some advice as for how to protect your guitar on the road. Is it too much to ask to have the people we entrust to get us there in one piece also get our instruments to the same place in the same number of pieces? Happy holidays from The Dumbest Story of the Week!
