Tucker, the song you're referring to is White Squall from Stan's From Fresh Water album. This is actually the last album he made and was finished after his death (i.e. the backing tracks). White Squall is a great song and one that I love performing. I have also had a chance to play Stan's twelve-string (thanks Paul). The reason you don't see many Laskin guitars around is that A)the people who own find it nearly impossible to part with them and B) Grit is a one-man shop who has a five-year waiting list.

P.S. Go out and buy From Fresh Water. Taping it off the radio doesn't benefit Stan's family and also delays the release of the other material that Stan recorded but didn't see fit to include on any of his albums,

I am heading out to hear Rick Fielding this glorious summery evening. I guess he'll be playing a lot off his forthcoming album.
