Anyone remember a club over the big pub at Swiss Cottage in North London. I went there a few times but can't remember who the residents were.    A well known contemporary perfomer turned up minus guitar and asked if he could use mine. Unwittingly, I said yes.
I could see the scratches appearing down the front of my guitar from his plectrum (plectrum? what's that?)
Anyway as resident at the Folk Cellar at CSH and having bought an expensive folk-style guitar (anyone remember Doctor Tomastic treble strings for finger style playing?), I used to take a well-worn old nylon-strung guitar as a spare and when singers turned up minus instrument, that was the one they got!
The same singer-songwriter came and sang from the floor at the Cellar and asked for a booking. On saying Yes he then told me to contact his AGENT. One of the reasons I then packed it up. Was getting too professional & the most the Sharp House could afford at the time was ten quid. Even Paul Simon got that!
