Did a music show, just me and a piano player, touring the North Dakota school system one winter for a theater company out of New Mexico. The show was called This Land is Your Land and that was supposed to be the opening song. Well it wasn't till we got up there that we realized we would be playing two different Indian reservations, one being the Sioux reservation in Devil's Lake. Now you really don't want to go onto an Indian reservation with a show called This Land is Your Land. So on the fly we changed it to Songs of America, which in hindsight probably wasn't much better.
I've had several guitars. I started out with a Yamaha 12 string, and then traded that for an Epihone that got stolen in New Orleans when I was on the road with a children's theater company. Replaced that with an Alvarez Yairi that I still have. I now also have Guild F50 dreadnaught, and a Chet Atkins Country Gentleman, which I don't play anymore (see the rockabilly band reference). The Alvarez Yairi I've had the longest. Bought it in '73 which was also the year it was built. She's the only guitar I've ever named; Rosalie. Don't know why, it's just what came to me. Or maybe she told me that was her name. These days I play an old Matador classical that I put Nylgut strings on that is on more or less permanent loan from my best friend. My old fingers just don't take to the steel strings as well anymore.
