Pity, but thanks. Maybe someone else will have some information on Stan and his guitars. As far as Blind Willie McTell is concerned, I remember finding a web site that listed all the guitars the old bluesmen used. I'll look for it again, but once again maybe somebody else will know the link. I can't specifically remember what guitar Blind Willie played, but the information was on that website- quite likely a Stella.As far as the great Rory is concerned, I seem to remember it was a Martin D28 but am by no means confident about that. I remember reading that Rory joined the choir invisible some years ago- does anyone have any more information? And what about his brother Alex, what became of him? I know they were both connected to the McEwan brewery and singing was a secondary pursuit.
