(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Gibson Guitar Corporation is one of the world's leading manufacturers of guitars.

Orville Gibson started making mandolins in 1894 in Kalamazoo, Michigan. In 1902 the Gibson Mandolin-Guitar Mfg. Co, Ltd. was founded to market his instruments, but he ended his personal involvement in the company a year later.

During the 1920s and 1930s, the Gibson company was responsible for many innovations in guitar design, and became the leading manufacturer of arch-top guitars, paticularly the L-5 model. In 1936 they introduced their first "Electric Spanish" model, the ES-150.

In 1952, Gibson launched a solid-bodied guitar designed by the popular guitarist Les Paul. The late 1950s saw a number of innovative new designs including the eccentrically-shaped Gibson Explorer and Flying V and the semi-acoustic ES-335, and the introduction of the "humbucker" pickup. The Les Paul was discontinued in favour of the Gibson SG in 1961, but returned in the late 1960s after it was taken up by players such as Eric Clapton and Peter Green. The Les Paul later became very popular with heavy metal guitarists.

Production of Gibson guitars was shifted from Kalamazoo to Nashville, Tennessee during the 1970s, which also spawned the Heritage Guitars company. The company also makes Gibson-branded amplifiers and a number of other musical equipment brands.

Other guitar and bass manufacturers which are owned by Gibson include Epiphone, Kramer, and Steinberger, as well as Tobias which specializes in bass guitars, Baldwin which makes pianos, and Singerland drums.

Martini cocktail

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The martini is a popular cocktail. A traditional martini is made with about two ounces of gin and a dash of dry vermouth served "straight up" (without ice), though other recipes may be used. The ingredients are stirred with crushed ice and then strained into a cocktail glass, and usually garnished with an olive, or sometimes with lemon rind (a twist), and less often with a cocktail onion or capers.

The benefit of the olive is to add salt, as bar olives are usually preserved in brine. A martini made with salt tastes quite different from one without.

A "dry" martini is one made with less vermouth; a "very dry" Martini is basically a cold glass of gin (though the ice will contribute some water to the final drink as well). Standard witticisms include to observe that "there was vermouth in the house once," or to wave the cap of the vermouth bottle over the glass. In a classic bit of stage business in the 1955 play Auntie Mame sophisticated pre-adolescent Patrick Dennis offers a martini, which he prepares by swilling a drop of vermouth in the glass, then tossing it out before filling the glass with gin. Also, atmoizers similar to those use for perfume are sometimes used to dispense a token amount of vermouth.

Western culture has created almost a mythology around the martini: the James Bond character from the Ian Fleming novels, for example, is famous for ordering his "shaken, not stirred", and other devotees of the drink have similar irrational preferences for the technique of making the drink (In the novel Casino Royale, Bond's recipe is specified in more detail as made with three measures of gin, one measure of vodka, and half a measure of vermouth, shaken until chilled, and with lemon peel for garnish. By the second Bond novel, Live and Let Die, Bond was drinking vodka martinis, a trend that continued when 007 moved to the silver screen in 1962).

The martini is used as a symbol for cocktails and nightlife in general; American bars often have a picture of a conical martini glass with an olive on their signs.

Many variations exist on the standard martini described above:

Sometimes the term "Martini" is used to refer to other mostly-hard-liquor cocktails such as Manhattans, Cosmopolitans, and ad-hoc or local conconctions whose only commonality with the drink is the cocktail glass in which they are served.
