Maybe that was Marlon's ideal guitar for hopping freights...don't ya have to throw your gear on first then jump on yerself?

Although the point is well taken. At the risk of starting a discussion I don't want to start, I have heard a folksinger defined as "someone with a thousand-dollar guitar and a $50 car." (Or maybe they were just talking about me)

On the TV show "Family Ties", the younger sister, played by Tina Yothers, used to sing sometimes. In one episode that stuck in my mind for some reason, she was showing off her teenybopper band and instructed them "(name of song), in A flat". Struck me as highly unlikely. But I didn't check the key...a bunch of kids is highly unlikely to hit anything in A flat. I can't think of any good reason for it myself, unless one's capo needs to feel wanted.
