Rory McEwan died back in 1982. If you Google Rory, you'll find more about his botanical painting than his singing. He had a Stella 12 which he bought in a pawnshop in Galveston back in the 50s – probably the first 12-string in the UK. He then had one made by Emil Grimshaw of London, the first one they made. The second is still owned by Len Partridge of Edinburgh.
Sorry about the thread creep but he did ask and anyway, I hope my Lonnie credentials are valid!
