Subject: RE: UK 60s Folk Club Boom?
last time i counted sixty different guitars had gone through my hands. i think i sold all of them at a loss.

derek Brimstone used to laugh at me. He'd say - I've had ONE guitar in all that time! But Derek was on the folkscene at an advantageous time. He got to establish his name when there was a lot of interest in folk music.

On the other hand, he was older than me - so I'm still alive, and he's dead. I've had to do all sorts of gigs to keep working, Derek just had the one gig.

Heres my latest. Its an Epiphone Sheraton 335 - a bit like John Lee Hooker and BB King played. Got on ebay on 10% off day.
