It's unlikely I'll find any B45's there but that would be a plus as well. Will be back to you. Cheers, Ron.

Back to one of my favourite topics- the 12 string guitar. Well there's a lot of really good stuff out there that can produce some amazing sounds. Vancouver is a pretty cool town for music and there's some stores that stock a lot of quality instruments and there's also a few very good luthiers here as well. I really liked the Larivee sound and the Taylor was right up there also. I wouldn't know how to decide on both those instruments. After all is said and done though, I just relaxed into the comfort zone of my B45. I guess because I'm so used to the feel of it, the sound, and if there's one string that needs to be adjusted I know right where the path will lead me to catch it. In effect, it's become part of me and of course it has that definitive Lightfoot sound and that's the sound I need in order to get me there. BTW John, if you read this could I ask you to go into that "treasure trove" of stuff and share with the folks the photo of Gord's B45 with the article talking about "tools of the trade?" I vaguely remember it mentioning something about how he would book a seat on the plane when he trevelled with it, and there were other comments that I can't recall just now. Many thanks. Ron Jones
