Thanks for the comments. I'll alert as I add more.
Guitar: Mossman (mossman-guitars.com)
Model: Badlands.
..which is really a custom Texas Plains model that I built while apprenticing in 1993 when producing video documentary "The American Acoustic Guitar" in grad school. It's a walnut deadnaught with walnut sunburst, abalone fret diamonds, burled walnut headplate, gold tuners, slot through saddle, 1 3/4 in neck at nut. Name came from look of the grain pattern on body -- reminded me of the view flying over Badlands territory.
Mossman has a very interesting history...from Stuart Mossman to Scott Baxendale to current owners. Started with fabulous design and everyone along the way has added improvement tweeks.
I fingerpick with thumb and three fingers..even a pinky thrown it sometimes. Self taught, but took classical lessons twenty-five years ago which helped hand technique to avoid muscle strain.
