Thirty-three-year GAL member Rick Rubin has been involved in instrument repair since 1976. In retirement, Rick plans to inflict more guitars, Irish bouzoukis, and octave mandolins on the world, while using up the stash of wood he’s sat on all these years. He’s also a member of an Irish trad band called Floating Crowbar, where he plays guitar, banjo, mandolin, and a little whistle and flute.
