My suspicion is that "ean" is Bean without the B. Maybe he left his "B" at the runch yesterday. He did say something about posting a query about the Georgia Pals on Mudcat when he and Mary were talking.

Hey Jim (if you're still around and checking this thread)did you mistakenly put my (one and only) guitar capo in a pocket when you put the Larivee away yesterday? I checked the case and all nearby flat surfaces and can't find the dang thing. Would love not to have to drop 20 bucks for a new one. Cheers, Kathy
