press, corruption on the floor to pay sign. and when it comes to the defense, you see the white goals inside their drug enough. my name is canyon perez and i work at the w ah ah, i get the the the the the me the scotland back me when it seems nice and
7:17 am
great david marshall's penalty shoot. i really qualified scotlands men for their 1st major tournament in 23 years. or some of us was we felt since kevin galico scored against austria in 1997. the schema was one of the goals that took scotland to france $98.00. but why as a nation that used to expect to be a major tournament not been on the big stage for 23 long years. the, from the seventy's to the ninety's, scotland qualified for 67 world cups. me aside from us, candles, plastic against the netherlands in 1978. the scots watched their heroes score unbelievable goals against brazil
7:18 am
plains new and unusual ways to snatch failure from the jaws of respectability against brazil. again at the opening game of 98 in france. it was rod against rinaldo scotland renewed this fierce and in no way when sighted rivalry after john collins equalized to make it 11. the holders couldn't find a winner, so naturally gave them a helping hand. boise, drake barley's goal against norway on the 16th of june. 1998, was the last my scotland man in a major tournament. since then, generation has gone by i must go spins living in barely enough to remember at least but not michael countries in the city are
7:19 am
held were you in scotland qualified was qualified for the major goodman i was 5. i don't know if i can remember. if i've convinced myself i can remember that, but i can remember john colin's school independently against brazil. i think the 1st ones i can came to remember is the playoff name for the next 2 years. so i was scolding with school and things going away with packing off a result and then it will not be in should. and then what was, what was to come, the failure to qualify for you know, 2000 and the 2002 by cut costs manager trig broke his job and so begun. scotlands hears a wandering in the football desert. me scotland decided to shake things up by bringing in their 1st ever foreign coach, german world cup winner, bertie forbes. and it was like that and it was that there
7:20 am
was a lot, it was more like maybe an experimental period for the national seem you know, sort experimentation look to have paid off when mcfadden scored. the only goal of the game against the dutch in the 1st leg of the year, 2004 play off, but his fix know the feet and amsterdam met the man the cold there. terry, i didn't get the snip of a major championship. i think that when the conference call really not sex, no game because it was 6. no, i could have been 10 enough that i really like just this little slowed the claim. after folks departure to rotating cost of hardy souls was charged with taking scotland back to the big walter smith. i like the cliff george barley creek, levine, gotten struck and and then the cliche, again, all tried and failed. but was that done to them or a lack of quality players? great social changes with taking place. and of course the boys were not playing
7:21 am
football as much as they used to spontaneously naturally. secondly, the introduction of foreign talent into scott from which was initiated by sickness and was taken on by the other clubs. walter smith said the boys going into the academies wouldn't get ex celtic in scotland. player jamie smith disagrees. i don't think it was a lack of on the can always produce good players. like the problem is almost systematic. let's take to concentrate on cell. can angel always try to compete the treadmill clubs, which country do you like us? they were spending a lot of money cited back play. i was given them back sally's and quite honestly, the good. they excited us players and everything got a chance. in 2019 come on manager,
7:22 am
steve clark became the latest man charged with bringing back that long for success . the laid back air sherman, the rocky start, but he galvanized an authority asleep, brittle group of players to take them to glory and bell. great. do i really rates the coffee as a manager? i think the way that the commander was like on believable that they weren't at all . john smith, they were can no close put a watch and confess them. and then he takes over and ends up taking this commandment team with no real stars at all and gets them into europe. steve clark is basically from all i can see about a defense of madison structured manager. he was the same with komatt scott and i think a better differentially not end up being not the final answer, but he's been able to organize a humiliating for neil defeat in russia. in late 2019 press,
7:23 am
the turning point for clark, he asked his players to carry their heart with them and the 1000000 much on beaten run, so they qualify for euro 2020. what's been the difference this led us to qualify? some really good. it's a crop of color, not seen in scotland for a generation. there's the robert center champions, league winner with liverpool, manchester, united power house, scott mc, terminate, arsenals, marauding. let me back here and tierney and aston villa. go scoring midfielder. join me again. and if you've got clear as you can bring in the claim for liver financing villa manchester, lately with germany. so you know, you have good quality. some boys have, i think it's just that we do actually have the best group of players. hudson name a problem. i mean, if you look to the managers of hot since we last qualifies, like would people say bear on and we'll go to a stock in as mine is up?
7:24 am
probably. all right, chris, the show that the players cared about giving the country something to celebrate. amid the corona writers pandemic audible here hope and from the socially distance partying begun wherever scots were in the world. and gloves go to berlin, where i've spent the past 9 years here, the chill of the cold war is never far away. amid the communist era statues, there's plenty of scottish to be found even if it's not always flattering. scotlands reputation for parsimony is reflected in the names of its this kind of shot races
7:25 am
and it's in the street signs in the cities, english quarter, white glasgow street, an english porter. and it's also to be in the city scottish exiles during the tandem. it has been painting for the place they call caledonia. let me think about, you know me. 100 park law school 2 scotlands, 3 great games are to be played at the national stadium. it means the talk to armies invasion of europe will have to wait at least a little while he always thought would make that over well in a summer and france or in a spade. it's just going to be quite weird that have to separate the fact that over play in a major national for he was game. but we're still in classical waiting,
7:26 am
scotland at tons and taught at the check public featuring labor crews and striker, patrick chick. and trey sharp with real but dreadfully amaica lucas rich. there's also a trip down the road to wednesday to meet hurricane england. scotland . ve england? it's the world's oldest international fixture. it's a little the fact that we taught the english to play the game. it might be hard to believe for people who have actually watched scotland, but we invented classic football. but come scott and teach england another lesson in the euros. after all, they haven't beaten the so called old enemy stone hutchison scored at wembley in 1999. england can be very good, but they can be brought with us, go to split it and being the underdogs were you into that game might be a benefit to us. f legal and the euro's lose again to check the public was against
7:27 am
croatia, but be england's and get not the 1st thing i would probably take as quite successful tournament. you know, it's the anglo we can beat them drinking. we can beat them intimately . we've got them have never gone beyond the grid stage. it's a major tournament. the feet to costa rica in $1090.00 is just one entry in a catalog disaster. who number 123, like you can this increasingly confident, young squad, but the trend by reaching the last 16 so many thought placed in ideally set up for us to completely blow to be one to be one of those sub place teams to get you to look at that and what we should be. we should be good enough. i think we've
7:28 am
got the squad to surprise some people. what we've done. we've got the potential for 2 of those great games to be played at honda park. scotland will be backed by home fund aching for a chance to see life football after the pandemic. whether scotland do a scotland or do the unthinkable and qualify for the last 16 it sure to be some atmosphere. whatever they do, these young players have shown that scotland can play the game and written their own chapter in the countries in shooting football romance, living with the years now and this should be stream it with me

7:31 am
this magical it makes you want to play for hours. it brings me for me to can from the german down about his martin is a perfect accompaniment. might if i hope to strive my family says they can even tell from downstairs if i'm playing a martin or something else, it's an icon of american music history. has a mystique about it. and i think that that is rooted in all these decades now. of some of the most important artists in so many genres of american for nak, your music playing martin guitars, jack and jack damage. i know you the very 1st
7:32 am
only i remember playing a cord on this guitar and just thinking that this was the holy grail, you know, this was something to aspire to this market. tar ah, ah, ah . the martin is highly respected by musicians and has long enjoyed legendary status for some the study various of the guitar family, the rolls royce, of acoustic instruments. its history is unparalleled in the history of guitar making an instrument that starting in saxony conquered the music world. ah, i think that martin guitars are special because they come from a remarkable tradition of fine instrument making. so right from the start,
7:33 am
you know, martin guitars were finely crafted, the finest woods, you know, that kind of thing. and i think that's part of what makes the instrument so special for more than 180 years. martin guitars have been hand built by generations of the same family using carefully selected woods and applying their finally to craft to produce as understated elegance. it was martin that gave the world the flat top acoustic guitar. earlier guitars all had rounded bodies, an unmistakable sound company that sleek form. sometimes that form is moulded by the musician to play. the thing is martin built with eco friendly wood edge here and worked with martin to create his ex signature edition. ah, the free about us. and they sent me 4 guitars to see if i liked
7:34 am
the sound of them or shapes with them. and i was double, i could tell, and i remember it turning off the gig and the focus there and charged them all now . and this, this one's incredible. i'm just going to take it just so you. yeah. yeah. i mean, the most ganita can also has his own personalized model. the martin, the 28th, became his favorite guitar just a few years ago. now he doesn't go anywhere without it hits me to shoot and i had it in the studio with me for the last album in new orleans. i wrote the title song
7:35 am
from the album with that guitar, like most song since i got inside the hub. the story of the martin guitar. nate, back to the 19th century in the village of mac, no occasion in saxony, thought 10 district that were in january 1796. christiane feverish martin was born into a family that had been in the woodworking business for generations. it goes all the way back to my great, great, great grandfather, who fortunately when he decided to break away from his father's furniture business and dedicate his life to making guitars. he chose to make very fine guitars. ah, but the idea didn't come completely. the blue magnification was already a centre of musical instrument manufactor. even back then, almost everyone in the village worked in the trade. it was a tradition which started in $1677.00 when 12 craft men got together to form
7:36 am
germany's 1st skills a violin maker, and they were later joined by craft. then building almost every instrument played in a german orchestra. excellent div low. he, me, an exile, had been forced to leave bohemia on religious grounds, who worked as instrument builders, settled here to start the 6th stock bought in the movies, cut ceaseless date of sacks, any allow them the opportunity to settle here as protestant issue and does on the high discount, which to bill and of course you have the mountain wood and climactic conditions or buildings such instrument, much involved that's only for the instrument by the craftsman of mock, no occasion ignored one instrument, the guitar. it would be christiane fleet was not in one day make whenever it's instruments, world famous, but that came much later. first, the talented, 15 year old was sent abroad to become an apprentice,
7:37 am
to the most famous master guitar maker of the time he had any interest in the violet. he went right from furniture to guitar. so i don't think he just, it didn't. it wasn't something that interested him, the guitar, by this point, by the late seventy's, early 18, hundreds that had worked his way up into northern europe. had become relatively refined and relatively standardized. and it, it, there was, there must have been something about that thing. the guitar that intrigued him enough that he decided to stop working for his father and ultimately having to go to vienna because the violin makers at that time weren't interested in the guitar. so they didn't even want to teach him. and he probably know how to do it. so then he went to vienna as a young man alert under johan staffer, oh, christiane fried, his martin remained in vienna for 14 years. he met his wife there,
7:38 am
the daughter of an acclaimed cabinet maker, and started a family. eventually he decided to return to his native saxony to open a guitar building workshop under his own name. he came home and the violin makers did not warmly embrace and they saw him as competition. they use the argument that when he worked for his father in germany, he apprenticed as a cabinet maker and he has that certificate. so if he wants to make furniture, how bad, if he wants to make the tours in germany, he has to start in the beginning and go through that long arduous apprenticeship. the violin makers were prepared to go to great lengths to keep out the competition . by then, demand was growing for the guitar, even cabinet makers in the village had started building them. and that was something the deal. the violin makers wasn't prepared to accept 826. so the start
7:39 am
of what would become a legendary lawsuit. he's a hide student in my home, around escalated between the violin makers and the guitar builders and the cabinet makers who wanted to build guitars the cycle. and it ended up in court with b r 400. there was much negotiation by the side. and admittedly, both sides had reasonable argument is kenya, is, or as is often the case of it all, hands on their businesses and maintaining their exclusive right to producing something while stopping others from getting a share of tight out and coming. a legal dispute continued for years without any conclusion. martin had hoped to manufacturer and sell a high quality instrument bearing his name. a frustrated like many german decided to seek his fortune in the new worlds. in 1833, he left mark no attention together with his wife and children at board in
7:40 am
a ship for new york. martin's plans was stablished himself in america would be a challenge. but also a huge opportunity. he was to become the country's 1st guitar maker. and martin believed america was ready for it. he saw market for his new instrument, hoping it could soon be as popular as the banjo or the fiddle. and he was right with the guitar experiencing its 1st heyday, soon after the advantage. the guitar cruise tickets are particular has its portable . and so here's a country of immigrants. yes, everyone came into a big city from europe. a lot of people said, no, i don't want to live in these big cities. i'm going west or north or south. and initially you went by wagon and you could find room for your conestoga wagon for a guitar much more easily than a piano. and so then at night, as you're going west to ohio or somewhere like that, and you build a fire,
7:41 am
you could pull out the guitar with his guitar as soon gaining a name far beyond new york. martin business quickly flourished. his instrument for prize winner is a national exhibition, but martin never really felt completely at home in the cold and dirty new york. after visiting another german couple in nazareth, pennsylvania, he decided to settle there. no coincidence. with its gently rolling hills, the region reminded him of home. the 1st time the only time i went to market coaching. as we drive in, what do i see? gentle rolling hills. and then as the lithograph over their shows bears the town of market correction built into the side of these gentle rolling hills. if you get in a helicopter and you back off of lazarus and you look down, it's
7:42 am
a town settled by german immigrants built into the side of rolling hills. so they came out here and they found people spoke german. they cooked german food. when it came to holidays like christmas, they celebrated them in a very traditional german way was in nazareth martin expanded his business and turned from making individual instruments to serial production. soon he had his own factory belt to keep up with demand, and he made crucial changes who was instruments. up until then, there had been one set back up so seated with classical guitar. they were simply too quiet for a large auditoriums, in concert. they were drowned out by fiddle banjos and the piano. so martin set about replacing the traditional guards with steel strings and made the body of the
7:43 am
guitar larger. his changes completely revolutionized guitar building. nobody had ever braced guitar quite like that. it was unique because it met the needs of the nude, larger style guitar. martin was the only company making your char that size. so they had to be inventive and come up with something that would stabilize the instrument. as a result of the need to satisfy a demand in the marketplace, their particular construction design and the artists that would end up using and they'd be kind of became a voice for, you know, more of the country folk and blues type of utilization. when he died in 1873, the father of america guitar making industry left his family, a thriving business. and at the turn of the 20th century, his grandson frank henry martin, went on to write guitar history. he was the man behind the 1st picture in guitar,
7:44 am
which was a large body of instruments, but still relatively light. it was the prototype of the western guitar and frank henry martin called it the dread not. in 1916, it went into serial production. and became very popular, the idea of calling it a dread not come through. one of the elder martin's was a history buff. and he was really taken with a, a battleship that the british had developed during world war one actually. and i think mr. martin loved the idea of this big powerful ship and the idea that that it was would crafted to him. it seemed like the perfect name for his large body guitar. the dread not put my 10 guitars on a path to worldwide success. and the legendary d model would become
7:45 am
a chosen guitar for the world's most well known musician. then came the 900 thirties depression. it could have spelled the end for a company like martin, but for a stroke of luck. i then, you know, you have the movie era when the great singing cowboys, like gene autry came along. and, you know, there's gene autry, writing a stride horse heroic character. and he's got a guitar in his hand. and he's singing, which is, you know, kind of crazy cowboys singing, but for the movies it was a great thing. and i think a lot of people sitting in that audience looking at someone like gene autry up on a big screen holding this gorgeous martin guitar is still things begin to click. i
7:46 am
want to play guitar. i want to get me one of those guitars like the one the only gene actually played or the jimmy rogers played. and i think that was the thing that kind of propelled the idea of the martin guitar being something a little special when the grandma john in happy and again, the company began upping output with each and every guitar still being made by hand . the finest woods were used and some instruments were made with mother of pearl inlaid, but it wasn't long before another world event affected the company. the government came to us and they said, so you know, we have this war and we're going to need to take, ask the majority of the men that you employ to go off and fight. so we hired women
7:47 am

who even had a special leather case made. ah, elvis had his big pink cadillac. when he finally started making money, he went out and bought himself the top of the line, finest. so there was the car or the cadillac, and there was the guitar. the martin guitar, that was the top of the line. by now, martin was the world's leading producer of acoustic guitars. demand had grown so much that by the early 1900 sixty's, there was a waiting list of up to 3 years due to limited capacity. martin guitars weren't the exclusive domain of the big stars. anyone who played guitar wanted one, especially in the sixty's, when so many rock and roll groups, had a martin front and center and acoustic char alongside and it in fluid. so many

young players. and then of course, a little later you, you get groups like crosby, stills, nash, and young featuring beautiful martin guitars. these kinds of things really drove sales. and really, once that movement was afoot, i think the martin guitar, the dreadnought was really well established. i mean, the beatles played martin dread knots, you know, and that makes a big difference. that keeps things going. i, ah, i take these broken wings and learn to johnny cash made an interesting comment. we asked him one time, we said, you know, mister cash, can you give us a quote for our catalog? and he said, i feel safe with a martin this for me. why don't you come to

7:51 am
what you aspired to have as an acoustic instrument, right? and the reason is, you know, i go home and look at my record collection. i'd say neil young with a d, 45 in front of that comes a time record. certainly all the crosby stills and dashed up jimmy page. joe walsh, big joe walsh fan and the, the list is an obviously, you know, public or blackberry that goes on and on and on. a non kind of be the indicative sound of an acoustic instrument that you heard records like you know, that's a martin within 2 seconds. busy it was the era of the singer songwriter and they all played a mark with their back to the land movement under yearning for simplicity. they spearheaded a trend to a more natural approach. the martin guitar fit the bill perfectly. hand made from wood without the technical bells and whistles its popularity surged during the 1900 sixty's march in the 3rd built a bigger factory still making instrument by hand in 1971.
