04 Oct 06 - 05:59 PM (#1850550) Subject: RE: Leroy van Dyke's Birthday From: eddie1 I see from his website http://www.leroyvandyke.com/ that he's offering a Silvertone guitar for sale. He used it to compose "The Auctioneer" and it cost some $34 from Sears Roebuck in 1953. The asking price is $150,000! Now I have a late 50s Eko 12-string (well, 11-string really if you take the broken tuning peg into account) I used it to play in front of the Prince of Wales and the next pub down the street till I was moved on by the police. Any offers? Eddie |
