I always enjoyed hearing Dave Carroll, the songwriter and owner of said damaged guitar, tell the story. This is his own solo song, and not part of the Sons of Maxwell band with his brother. His web-site is at www.davecarrollmusic.com

Also, from what I've heard, Lennie Gallant, another Maritimes Musician takes his guitar on board. Pays for an extra seat and the guitar is there, right next to him.
