In the summer of 2009 Dave Carroll boarded a plane after he had checked in his guitar case at the counter for an United Airlines Flight. During a connection in Chicago, other passengers noticed the baggage handlers tossing instrument cases on the tarmac. Dave’s worst fears were realized. His Taylor had been broken. Dave eventually wrote three songs and recorded videos to document the original disaster, the struggles with airline employees, and amazingly his new found fame as a result of the whole ordeal. Watch the videos for some good country picking and laughs. And always take extra precautions when traveling with your guitar.
