Now that WOULD be something, Adrien.... but who would want to sleep ???

I believe the last time I saw Paul was at Folk Alliance in Cleveland.. he was running sound at the Borealis room which also doubled for some CBC radio tapings... Willie Dunn and I got up for a soundcheck... as an aside, Paul asked 'What's wrong with Willie's guitar?" I said "It's f*cked up'... at that time he was still playing his old Framus warhorse with an action that would cripple Frankenstein and bad intonation above the 3rd fret... Paul lent his gorgeous Laskin flat-top to Willie for the show... man, I was happy.. it made my job a lot easier... I had been bugging him to get a better axe for awhile... he did eventually

Paul, I'll never forget that kindness...thanks again,
and a big congrats on the award... Ron
