Nice photo! Mr. Jones really resembles GL in this photo. I can offer this about this guitar. With the rounded edges on the inlaid arrows on the headstock....and the pin bridge, this B45 has to be a 63-64; unless it has been modified. My 65 burst also has the rounded inlays - and I think 66 was the turning point (no pun) when the arrows came to a sharp point. BTW: Hello Johnfowles. I have read many of your posts and always enjoyed them.
NICE, NICE GUITAR!

I'm afraid not. But I'm here to learn.

Ron - I knew a Ron Mason many years ago and he played in this fantastic duo. They featured Kingston Trio and John Stewart and were quite a draw in some local clubs back then.
I spent some time listening to 4 of your songs..not scanning, but listening start to finish. Nice work and I really enjoyed them!

B45-12,

I tend to be annoying with my curiosity. But since John Stewart is in that part of California, have you had any encounters with him ?

Two B-45 12s you say? Can't possibly need them both..... I DO need one....

Glad to see the John Stewart comments in here. While he has certain;y made his living in the music biz he is a terribly underappreciated artist. He'l hit 68 in September.

I really agree with the Lenny Warronker comments. Most of work with Gord is just wonderfully great. I do have my little things here and there because I'm someone who will always be mentally pulling songs apart and saying things like, great chorus but verses are weak, great flow on the album - even the weakest songs (or least string) work very well because they are needed to get you from point A to point B (In than respect Sundown may be his best produced record, though I have a big spot in my musical heart for teh production of Old Dan's Records) or the guy that introduced Gord to synthesizers should be shot.... (so I'm opinionated......

Glad to have you on board! Great name you've got there.

RM: Yes, I know John. Please go to small talk.
(not that I consider John small talk!)

Hi fezo.
But I do need them both! I used to have four - but now that was just damn greedy! At times, I even miss the ones I sold. You can find a good one out there. I see them from time to time on eBay - and sometimes there is a real sweet one.

To my taste - the synthesizer part as used on the song "Is There Anyone Home" is quite tasty and perhaps even defines the song...musically that is.
True, the song can stand on its own acoustically - as can any Lightfoot song...but in small doses these things just do not bother me. Without synths - Heffernan could not provide the string parts in concert...even though clearly they are not real sounding...I for one like them present.
I do, however, agree that Lightfoot and HIS SONGS do not need bells and whistles.

But........

I MISS PEEWEE !
