Sorry, Cap'n, I lost contact with him in about 1960 when I, at a guess, he was about 30 or so years old. He mentioned that he made the guitar for Pete Seeger, whom I suppose he had met when he visited Liverpool, because PS had told him his 12-stringers were not all that good.
I believe Lead Belly played a Stella. Does anyone know what Blind Willie McTell (the master of the instrument) played? I remember Rory McEwan playing on on 'Tonight'; any ideas what that was, anybody.
